These two books are not really scary. A Brave Witch is about conforting fear and is wonderful because it has two girls. A Boo! Book deals with what to do if you have a haunted book, and, therefore, should be read by readers everywhere. Both have nice illustrations.
What a disappointment :( Those 1.5 stars are entirely awarded to the illustrations. Nicoletta Ceccoli deserved to illustrate an actual worthy story, not this... thing. The story is absolutely pointless. "Reminiscent of The Lady of Shalott'"? How? Because they were both in a tower? "An ...
There is absolutely no story in this book and, much like in A Gaggle of Geese and a Clutter of Cats, it somehow works. The illustrations are at once beautiful and slightly off-putting at the same time, but, in this case, it works because these are fantastic and/or fearsome fairytale beasts that are ...
This did not come highly recommended by my Goodreads friends, deemed too creepy and weird to be successful with most children. And they are not wrong in the abstract - this is a creepy book, and I do not recommend it to all. However, do you see that cover??? Omg, if the book has more of that kind of...
Disappointing. While Ogburn clearly love mythology and fairy tales, I once again was left with the feeling that she doesn't quite get them.

A little arty, a little abstract, a little sad. I'm not sure to whom I would recommend this odd, brief little story of loneliness -- certainly not to children, it would be depressing and potentially upsetting.I don't think everything distressing is necessarily inappropriate for children, but there a...
Pure, dead brilliant! I'm the kind of language-loving geek who loves works of venery such as An Exaltation of Larks: The Ultimate Edition, so I was admiring the terms she chose for her collective nouns. But, also, I like that each spread groups similar mythological beings from different cultures. ...
A great pick for lovers of myth and lovers of language. This book is a magical field guide of sorts that gives the collective nouns for some of our favorite groups of magical/mythical creatures. A very nice concept I must say. Don't expect a great deal of text - although there is a good glossary ...
