Wonderful flow!
What a fun book to read to young children. The flow and rhyme of this book is absolutely perfect. Not only is the book informative (on cranes of course), but it's a fun read that even the youngest reader will understand. Each page has a fun illustration...

A fun read!
What a fun story! This story is great to read with young children. It's a fun read, but allows for discussion, too. Not only is Bradley bad, he is very bad. Because of his behavior, Bradley does not get the presents he wants from Santa Claus. ...

A delightful twist on Hansel and Gretel
I actually won an eARC of this book via twitter, so I was super excited to get to reading and find out all about Greta and Goblin King! I was not disappointed. The book starts off with Greta tracking down a beast who has kidnapped a young goblin...

Informative, poetic and lovely!
I wasn't prepared for how lovely this book is. Each page is a poem written for the habitat of a specific animal. So, not only is the book well written and in poem form, but it's informative! The illustrations are unique and fun to look...

Dark and Twisted Humor!
This book is incredibly unique. It's a poetic and highly morbid book that children ages 7-10 will love. My 7 year old boy absolutely loved it, my 5 year old, not so much. I think my 7 year old was able to grasp the humor, while my...

Fun book to read!
I have so much love for this book. When I started the book I was surprised at how much like me Julia is. She is definitely not a rule breaker (nor am I) and honestly she needs to just chill out (so do I). So, I...

A silly read with a great lesson!
First of all, we actually say "Oh Nuts!" in our household when something goes wrong, so when I received this book, I had to laugh. And the laughing didn't stop once I opened the book! The three squirrels, Cutesy, Blinky and Bob are jealous of all the animals...

Fast paced sequel to 'Glow'
'Glow' (Sky Chaser's #1) was my first space dystopian, so it has a special place in my heart. I was excited to read 'Spark' because the end of Glow broke my heart. I was so upset with Kieran's behavior and wasn't sure how I felt about Seth. ...

Another fantastic book in the Iron Fey series!
I'm a complete fan girl of the Iron Fey series (Hello Ash!), so when I heard there would be more coming out I was stoked! I'll be honest, I was a bit leery since The Lost Prince deals with Ethan, Meghan Chase's younger brother, as the main character. ...

Stunning sequel!
First of all, let me take a deep breath. I'm still trying to recover from reading this book. My goodness, Michelle Hodkin knows how to cut right through me (in good ways and bad). Second, I could not wait to get my hands on this book. ...

Awesome devotional for older kids
I love devotionals. Not only can they bring families together, but they can help children (and adults) relate to specific Bible verses in an easy way. When I received this book to review, I was very excited. I love getting these types of books, especially when I...
