Cub will put up with almost anything to eat cookies, but he can’t suppress his essential bear nature forever. I’m not sure what the moral is here, or if there is one, but poor little Cub is so relatable, and the illustrations are great. Hardcover, borrowed from my public library
She stood at the window and watched as the squirrel was vacuumed up. Poof. Fwump. ""Holy bagumba!" said Flora. - from the back cover Not to go overboard or anything, but I LOVED this book. I mean, the main character (besides the little girl, Flora) is a SQUIRREL. When I was a kid, my favori...
The story of a little mermaid discovering what her talents and passions are, who she is and what she likes to do. What it means to be USEFUL.

It is a middle grade book but a lot of the vocabulary is above that level, this is why the audiobook is terrific. Kids can listen to am awesome story a...
Overall this book was a disappointment. I thought the plot was thin and the characterizations were shallow. Not what I expect in a Newbery Medal winner.

5 Stars Netgalley review- on iphone. First Impression: Loving the art. I love it when the colors completely fill the pages and there aren’t borders. Minnow is a mermaid who has 49 sisters, all of whom are talented at something, except for Minnow. Minnow is only good at asking lots and lots of ...
