LT's Theory of Pets - Stephen King

3.5 Stars

This is a quick read. It has some humor poking fun of husbands and wives. A lot of it kind of seems like a stand up comedy bit, but of course it ends in a special Stephen King tone. I enjoyed it.

Other People's Pets by R.L. Maizes
Other People's Pets - R.L. Maizes

TITLE:  Other People's Pets

 

AUTHOR:  R.L. Maizes

________________________

DESCRIPTION:

La La Fine relates to animals better than she does to other people. Abandoned by a mother who never wanted a family, raised by a locksmith-turned-thief father, La La looks to pets when it feels like the rest of the world conspires against her.

La La’s world stops being whole when her mother, who never wanted a child, abandons her twice. First, when La La falls through thin ice on a skating trip, and again when the accusations of “unfit mother” feel too close to true. Left alone with her father—a locksmith by trade, and a thief in reality—La La is denied a regular life. She becomes her father’s accomplice, calming the watchdog while he strips families of their most precious belongings.

When her father’s luck runs out and he is arrested for burglary, everything La La has painstakingly built unravels. In her fourth year of veterinary school, she is forced to drop out, leaving school to pay for her father’s legal fees the only way she knows how—robbing homes once again.

As an animal empath, she rationalizes her theft by focusing on houses with pets whose maladies only she can sense and caring for them before leaving with the family’s valuables. The news reports a puzzled police force—searching for a thief who left behind medicine for the dog, water for the parrot, or food for the hamster.

Desperate to compensate for new and old losses, La La continues to rob homes, but it’s a strategy that ultimately will fail her.

Other People’s Pets examines the gap between the families we’re born into and those we create, and the danger that holding on to a troubled past may rob us of the future.

REVIEW:

 

A very cute, entertaining and sometimes emotional story.  I loved all the animals.  The humans - some people should just not be parents.

PS:  I just wish the author had chosen some other name other than the juvenile and silly "La la" for her main character.

One Snowy Night (Heartbreaker Bay, #2.5) by Jill Shalvis (narrated by Karen White)
One Snowy Night - Jill Shalvis

One Snowy Night - Jill Shalvis 

 

~ reviewing the audio version~ 
Exactly what I was looking for. Cute, fun novella filled with sexual tension with a tiny, bit of spice thrown in. Rory and Max had been sort of antagonizing each other for a long time up until they are forced to share a ride back home. Trouble arises in the way and fortunately for them, that gives them time to sort things out and get things right. Everything wrapped up too fast but the ending was still satisfying. I definitely recommend if you're looking for a Christmasy, quick read.

Review: The Berenstain Bears Bless Our Pets
The Berenstain Bears Bless Our Pets (Berenstain Bears/Living Lights) - Mike Berenstain

You know the best series out there that good for children is The Berenstain Bears. It teaches about things children need and still really good. It one of my favorite series. I regret getting rid of my books i had growing up. The one I have now i will not give them away. I am over the children section but I love reading children books. These books i will never grow out of or want to.

 

The Berenstain Bears Bless our pets is really is a new one. It deal with or what our children need in moral teachings in the real world. It teaches us that animals or our pets are more family rather than just plan animals. They should be treated like any other family member. I know I treat my pets like they are family and talk to them like their my babies.

 

Children will learn that they need to take care of pets and what it like and treat them like other family members to a point. Mike Berenstain does a really well job with it and with the pictures. The picture can tell the story.

The Napping House
The Napping House - Audrey Wood,Don Wood

The Napping House is one of my favorite stories! I love how the action in this story grows and grows. When reading this story with little people, I love to discuss how the perspective of the pictures changes as the story progresses. I think it would be especially fun to allow this book to accompany a pajama day. I would allow the students to retell the story and sequence the events using pre-made character cutouts.
