Smile by Raina Telgemeir is a level T on the Fountas and Pinnell reading level scale. Smile is about Raina Telgemeir’s story of when she was in 6th grade and got her front two teeth knocked out when she was running and tripped and fell. 6th grade is already a really hard time, but not having your fr...
For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-CycleA fantastic collection of fairy tales in the form of comics. The book features various tales, from big ones from the Brothers Grimm and Charles Perrault to lesser known ones such as "The Small Tooth Dog". I really enjoyed the various interpretations of...
I really enjoyed this even after spending time last night checking out the various controversies surrounding this book. I read 4 different blogs (which are listed in other's reviews & who all seem to not recommend this) & the accompanying comments & I don't get what the big deal was. But that's j...
The relationship between the sisters was well done. There could have been some more about the Mexian culture - to seems to be confined to food and the Day of the Dead. Still it was a good story about confronting fear and death
This is a cute graphic novel by the same author who brought us Sisters, Smile, and Drama. The students in our Elementary school library love Telgemeier's books. This book brings up some serious issues including childhood cystic fibrosis, death, and fear. But the tone of the story isn't too serious...
Borrowed it from the library to read with Little One. Should've researched this one a bit more...https://readingwhilewhite.blogspot.com/2016/09/on-ghosts-and-magic-of-day-of-dead.htmlhttps://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2016/09/not-recommended-ghosts-by-raina.htmlhttps://booktos...
Moving is hard. Having a family member disabled by illness is hard. Middle school is the worst. Old California rubs up against the new, and rubs our protagonist the wrong way. I like how the lost language, food, and culture of second generation immigrants are being brought back into the life of the ...
The aesthetic in the comics doesn't feel true to the original series (still holding out hope that Claudia's outfits get weirder/more fabulous), but the story does (probably because it's the same story... no noticeable updates there). I think I enjoyed this one more than Kristy's Great Idea. The ni...
I read this on January 12 in one sitting and I loved it! I'm definitely checking out the other editions that my work has. It is so 90s though--Stacey just moves in from NYC and is automatically accepted as a valid babysitter with no proof of any experience or certifications at all. Also, she moves j...
I loved several things about Ghosts. First and foremost was the straightforward presentation of Maya’s illness. The feeding tube, the vest, the coughing – all shown in a way that did not garner pity, but simply informed. There is no effort made to make Maya’s illness seem less than it is, but the il...
