I loved the play on words found in the title for today's read. And the green spots. So cute and clever! This is a science fiction picture book and promises to bring in quite a few familiar aspects, while shooting off into alien dreams. In other words, I have no idea what to expect but hope it will be fun.
Get ready because I have a feeling that these aliens aren't exactly what one might expect!

I've really been looking forward to today's read. It's set in Greece in the 1930's and takes a look at the country's switch from a democracy to a dictatorship and Fascism at that time. It was published originally in Greek in 1963, was translated once into English around 1968, and is finally getting another, fresh run in the English language. It has been published in many languages since then and has received many awards. Plus, it should weave fantasy along the border of reality, while diving deep into a difficult part of history.
I do hope this one is as good as it seems to be because ..read more

The real meaning of the rainbow!
by The Bible Tells Me So Press
Picture Book / Early Reader

God's Rainbow is a delightful children's book which presents the truth in the Bible about the rainbow, and what the rainbow really means. This beautifully illustrated book is sure to spark a loving and meaningful family discussion about the wonders, beauty, and meaning of the rainbow! Because rainbows are bright and beautiful, they are claimed by many companies, clubs, and clauses, with each one trying to define what the rainbow means. But what does the rainbow really mean ..read more

It's happy book birthday time! As usual, I'm a little off...and screaming this one out 2 days in advance...but I do enjoy book releases. This one caught my attention due to the mix of baseball, a closet of dreams, and a boy facing several problems. First, books which take a sport direction seem to often be popular in the middle grade realm, and secondly, I have a sneaking suspicion that this one slides into a magical realism category, which is often fun.
Anyway, let's take a look and see if this one invites to wonderful fantasy or not.

Laurie Morrison’s Keeping Pace is a poignant middle-grade novel about friends-turned-rivals training for a half-marathon—and rethinking what it means to win and what they mean to each other.
Grace has been working for years to beat her former friend Jonah Perkins’s GPA so she can be named top scholar of the eighth grade. But when Jonah beats her for the title, it feels like none of Grace’s academic accomplishments have re ..read more

It was the title on today's read, which had me smiling. I've been known to 'forget' words and names on a daily basis and do tend to grab whatever term I can in a pinch. They say that the more kids a person has, the more that person forgets...which is probably true but only because there are that many more things to remember. So, this book caught my interest.
I'm not sure if it will be too simple or not...or even what to expect...but off we go!
Note: I'm just going to shove this one onto my possible favorites of the year list because it is super cute.

Anyone else enjoying the beginning of Spring growth? We do have a few nights still, which hit pretty hard (26 degrees), but in general, things are warming up and blossoms are popping up here and there. I've already planted my first seeds and have seedlings growing in the living room window. So, today's read seems to hit with perfect timing. This one does appear on the shelves early next week, which might work great for themes surrounding nature and more....
Or I hope so. Honestly, I don't even know quite what this one is about (I just glanced over the blurb). Guess it's time to dive in and fi ..read more

Grab those blankets and flashlights because today's read heads into the realm of spooky tales and horror. This is the second in a series, and no, I didn't read the first one. I'm not sure what to expect in this read because while it holds a main story, according to the blurb, it seems to add others as well?
I'm just going to settle down into my comfy chair and find out.

Today's read is the latest in a series from a very talented author friend. So far, this series has melded humor with history with culture with action with magic... Yes, it's packed with all sorts of goodness, and the author has pulled it off well. So far. I'm assuming this one won't be any different.
One of my favorite things about this series is the cultural and historical mix. Little facts are usually sprinkled in and built into the plot in such a way that readers learn without leaving the adventure. I have recommended this series to homeschoolers in the past, since it does give a nic ..read more

I might be screaming this book birthday out a day early, but let's get the party started, anyway! This is a graphic novel for beginning readers and should pack tons of humor. The cover already has me expecting cute moments and high energy...at least, from that puppy. I'm super curious to see what cases arise and if this one is as fun as I hope it is.
