The Woman and Her Bear Cub was a cute story that made my children instantly jealous. It was adorable to see this woman and her daughter take home and raise this seemingly orphaned polar bear cub. My children loved watching him grow as the...

Wishes Around the World was a great introduction into wishing customs from around the world. From birthday wishes to wishing on the first star spotted in the night sky, it was interesting to learn how similar yet different wishing can be outside of your home. ...

We Planted a Pumpkin is a simplistic look at growing a pumpkin for the holiday harvest. The book is written easily enough that a beginner reader will have little to no problems reading alone, and engaging enough that adults can read aloud with out...

I loved everything about this children's book! The illustrations are breath-taking and pair wonderfully with the story. They are full of energy when needed, and subdued where it warrants. The story itself is magnificent. While told from an...

Tree Whispers: A Forest of Poems has made a great addition to our homeschool library! The poems are fun and lyrical, while also being informative! The poems are written both in rhyming and free verse, and would be a great reference for any level of...

Looking for Happiness is a cute children's story that points out that like adults, children can also have off, stressed out, or even sad days. Perhaps I read into it more than my children did, but I enjoyed that the author essentially had this child...

My children and I really enjoyed reading Cookie Queen together! Cookie Queen: How One Girl Started Tate's Bake Shop is a fantastic, easy to follow story about Kathleen King and her persistence to find the best cookie recipe that everyone will want to purchase....

Stars in Their Eyes was beyond adorable! The MCs are younger (14 & 15), and are representing so much. - Non Binary - Bisexual - Chronic Pain - Missing Limb Just to name a few!...

I wish I would have had these books when my children were smaller! The Original Indestructible are just that, virtually indestructible. The book is light-weight, and while the pages still bend and crease, they are tear proof and water proof, plus washable - perfect for babies! ...

I really liked the simplicity of this book. The author stays true to the butterflies/caterpillars in real life, instead of making them cutesy. The illustrations were very well detailed, and we enjoyed them very much. I wasn't thrilled...

I really enjoyed this little pop-up book! It was a short read, no more than 20 pages! Each city included a few educational points. I found Istanbul to be the most fascinating, I had no idea it was situated on two continents. ...

When I first started reading This is Not a Personal Statement, I thought it would be similar to the 2006 movie 'Accepted.' If you're not familiar with the movie it's about a kid who received college rejection letter after rejection letter until he finally creates his own fake college, starring...

The author did another fantastic job! My son and I enjoyed reading about Violet and her family. Like with Nick and the Brick Builder Challenge, Malia writes her characters with care for their special needs, as well as making them relatable to...

This was such a fun book to read with my nine year old! We loved how the Infinity Rainbow Club is a group of kids who felt different and got together to be different together. The author does a wonderful job of highlighting...

This was such a fun and interesting book to read with my kids. I honestly had no idea there was an organization that created a poll for the new seven wonders! That was so cool to learn about and check out! Many of the...
