Hey Avi! I was in-between 4 and 5 birds, but I'll give you the full 5. I was given an e-book copy for free from Netgalley in exchange for my super honest review. I've read Avi's Button War and really liked it, so I jumped at the opportunity to read this one. I liked how... Continue Reading →
Matilda by Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl deserves 5 out of 5 birds for his novel Matilda. It's a true classic. I just finished a life long dream of reading this to my children. My girls loved this one and there were so many parts that were memorable. They are completely terrified of Miss Trunchbull and the chokey, but is... Continue Reading →
The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes
Okay Elanor Estes I can't love this book any more. A whopping fluffy five out of five birds for this short children's book. I can't tell you how many times in the past week I have said don't be a Peggy or a Maddie when the kids have started quarreling with each other. It stops... Continue Reading →
Mrs Piggle-Wiggle’s Magic by Betty MacDonald
I'll give Betty MacDonald five out of five birds! This is the second installment in her Mrs. Piggle Wiggle's series. It was a fun read with my little girls. I thought that the stories were a little bit of a stretch but none-the-less we enjoyed their quirkiness. We loved the ending, imagining the kids in... Continue Reading →
Pippi Longstocking by Astrid Lindgren
Alright Astrid, you get three out of five birds for this one. The whole experience with this one was meh. The highlight of the entire thing was teaching my 4 and 3 year old what a canniabal was. And now they regularly ask people if they eat humans. It's been quiet fun to watch. Pippy... Continue Reading →
The Witches by Roald Dahl
I'll give Roald Dahl 5 out of 5 birds for The Witches. First of all, I read this to my four and 3 year old. I tried with all of my might to persuade HLB(4) from choosing this one- because it seemed a little scary for her age. However, she BEGGED me. She continuously told... Continue Reading →
The Princess in Black by Shannon Hale
I'll give Shannon Hale 4 out of 5 birds for The Princess in Black #1. Since the libraries are currently closed and we're dying for new reading material I purchased the first three of this series. My girls are enjoying them but not as much as I expected. I think they like Mercy Watson better.... Continue Reading →
Mrs. Piggle Wiggle by Betty MacDonald
I give Betty Macdonald 5 out of 5 birds for Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle! I read this one with my four and three year old (she only lost interest once or twice). This book had a few more pages in between pictures which was a stretch for us, but the story was engaging enough for us to... Continue Reading →
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
I give the Wild Robot by Peter Brown a 5 out of 5 birds! I absolutely loved reading this book with my four year old. We laughed, gasped, and even tear up. I appreciated how Peter tied in the Earth's ecosystem and it's natural consequences. It allowed us many talking points and opportunities for questions.... Continue Reading →
The Very Last Leaf by Stef Wade
I give Stef Wade 3 out of 5 birds for her picture book The Very Last Lead. I've read her other book about Pluto and enjoyed it so I was looking forward to this one from Netgalley. In all honesty this book was weird? Perhaps I was trying too hard to figure out which social... Continue Reading →
