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 →
I give Dana Mele's book People Like Us 3 out of 5 birds. The beginning of this book drew me in but then I lost my gumption for it in the middle. I finished it and the ending was not completely what I expected, so I felt redeemed. It was very mean girl vs... Continue Reading →
I give V.C. Andrews 4 out of 5 birds for his book Flowers in the Attic. This may be one of the most messed up books I have ever read. I mean it may even knock Baby Teeth out of the running. The idea was original and intriguing but WAY over the top. This book... Continue Reading →
I give Stephen King 5 out of 5 birds for his book On Writing! I've been reading different writing books of an on and this one was great. It's not the typical "step one do this" but it begins with Stephen's story from childhood on and how he became a writer. It gave me a... Continue Reading →
I give The Definitive Guide to Understanding Your Brain... 3 out of 5 birds. After reading The Coddling of the American Mind I wanted to read more on CBT therapy and found this one on the library app. It was a very quick read and there were somethings that I felt validated in and found...

I give The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt 5 out of 5 birds. I was hovering between 4 and 5 but decide to up it because I've seen in a difference in how I process information since reading it. There were so many quotes from it that I want to memorize and... Continue Reading →
I give the Perilous Princess Plot 4 out of 5 birds. My 4 year old daughter- who I read this to- said 100 stars. So I guess it's more her review that matters. She enjoyed the characters- both human and non. It was quite the silly book. The descriptions were hilarious. She keeps joking... Continue Reading →
I give You Too? by Janet Gurtler 5 out of 5 birds! I received this months ago from Netgalley but had such a hard time opening hence the delay.... But I'm so glad I did! I think everyone should read it. My eyes were open to new ways of thinking. Ideas that were not even... Continue Reading →
I give The War with Grandpa three out of five birds. It was a solid Meh. I really liked the beginning but lost interest as it continued. I thought Pete was a total putz kid with an overly obnoxious younger sister. Maybe I'm too harsh of a critique because it's been so longer since I... Continue Reading →
