Honestly, I loved this book. I feel like the author hit the nail on the head of what it's like to figure out your sexuality. I loved that the author chose to have Mike, the main character, identify as bisexual instead of gay because there aren't many bi books, focusing on a man, out there. You could feel the frustration, stress, confusion, and hope while reading this. Definitely have to go buy a copy for my bookshelf now!
A great cooking book for kids! So many sandwiches and ideas! The illustrations are fantastic too. I found a recipe I want to try: a grilled mac and cheese sandwich! Yum!
Did a good job of giving an over view of Mary, Queen of Scots life but I feel like they lacked on describing what a bit of a badass Mary was!
4 stars because the book was AMAZING and had me captivated but the ending was lack luster and had too many open endings. It just ended. Ughhhhhhhh I need more! I typically don't like Rowell's books (hated Eleanor and Park/Attachments) but a friend told me to read this one. It was fantastic!
A really cute rhyming Leprechaun picture book! The pictures are gorgeous, the story is great, and there is information about the folklore at the end of the book! I will definitely be able to use it for storytime.
LOVED this one! I'm biased because I'm obsessed with London but the illustrations are beautiful and I love the facts put in this!
I enjoyed the premise of this book but the language was too mature for the intended audience. Kindergarten aged children don't know what “grassroot organizations” are nor what the word “oratory” means.
Very interesting and well done. A little slow for me but I enjoyed learning about cultures that I previously knew next to nothing about.
I really enjoyed this. It's a different story than I've heard before. Early teen boy takes off to NYC to audition for a Broadway play only for things to go awry. I really enjoyed it, but there's a ridiculous amount of unnecessary filler.
A picture book about a fisherman who finds an injured bird and he reroutes the boat to go South. This way, the bird will be able to survive in a warm area. The story is short but the illustrations are beautiful.
The character of Henry was way too “how dare she like another guy” for me. Typical teen behavior I suppose, but definitely turned me off.
Really enjoyed this picture book. The interactive squishing area is a fun way to bring movement in with the kids. I could see reading this at one of my library story times because you're able to express emotion (horror, panic, admiration).
A story about how essentially a young girl with an anxiety disorder gets cured because she finds a boyfriend. Finished the whole thing; hard pass.
I actually loved this book! It had great character development and a fun retelling of Rapunzel. Surprisingly, I liked it a lot more than I liked the Land of Stories!
