Genre: Fear / Courage / Bedtime Year Published: 2013 Year Read: 2014 Publisher: Little, Brown and Company Now, I will admit that I have not read any of Lemony Snicket’s works before (not even his famous “A Series of Unfortunate Events” series), so consider Lemony Snicket’s children’s boo...
What a surprise! I figured this would be a decent three star book; worth reading but nothing really memorable. I was even prepared to sigh at the idea of badly behaving children giving their governess trouble. Nope, this is not that book. This is the book where a girl with her own mysterious past ...
Laszlo is a young boy who's afraid of the dark. The dark spends all day in the basement until night comes and it can come out. Like all Snicket books, this doesn't go where you think it's going to but also like many, it turns out better then you imagined. His text and Jon Klassen's artwork works per...
11/28/2014 ** Life is about the journey. The company you keep is important. Pay attention to your companions' hints. More questions after I read it than before I started.
Such a nice blend of light and clever, thoughtful and fun. It was both a bit more and a bit less than what I was expecting. It is a pretty quick little read and there isn't a great deal in terms of narrative tension, but that really doesn't make it any less enjoyable. The characters, the setting,...
A perfectly fine sequel to the Incorrigibles #1 (The Mysterious Howling), though again it raises more questions than it answers, and again, my favorite character is the long-dead Agatha Swanburne. In this installment, Penelope and her charges travel to London with the Ashtons, to escape constructio...
As far as children's books about no-nonsense British nannies and their raised-by-wolves charges go, this one was pretty enjoyable. Cleverly written and quite funny in places, though as many other reviewers said, not many answers by the end of the story. If you don't like to be left hanging, and yo...
My mother got this book as a birthday present for my youngest, who just turned one. A 2013 Caldecott Medal winner, it is narrated by a small fish who has stolen a hat from a much larger fish while the bigger fish slept. This is very similar to Klassen's I Want My Hat Back, which we'd borrowed from t...
Interesting picture book. I have mixed emotions about it. I liked that the book surprised me, but I didn't like that the bear lied and was revengeful at the end.
This was a really interesting and fun book. A little fish steals a hat from a big fish and thinks he can get away with it. And what follows is a really big angry fish following the smaller fish. I absolutely loved the illustrations, they were really beautiful and I loved to see them. Well I would re...
