Littlest Pet Shop by Georgia Ball

Littlest Pet Shop #1 by Georgia Ball
My rating: 4 of 5 stars



This was a fun read for the kiddos

I read it out loud at first, then my daughter took my nook and finished it. She said it was just like the show! My son said the same thing, but it wasn't really his thing. He only watched Littlest Pet Shop because his big sis makes him ;P

I'd recommend this for kids 6-10, it was pretty simplistic for my 10 year old, but she really digs graphic novels of late, and this one was a cute one.

If you've ever seen Littlest Pet Shop, this is exactly like the show, so you know what you're in for.

Amulet:: Escape from Lucien by Kazu Kibuishi

Amulet, Vol. 6: Escape From Lucien by Kazu Kibuishi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've read and loved the first in this series, and I was surprised my young children did too! When I saw this was up, I grabbed it!

This can't be read as a stand-alone, and it can't be read out of order. It was really REALLY difficult to read if you aren't up to date on the series. My kids and I have read the first 2, and we grabbed the 4th from the library, but unfortunately unless you've read all the books, you will be completely confused.

Now, I've given it a 4 because I can gather from the first couple books that I like what's happened between books 2 and 6. That being said, my daughter didn't finish it because she was confused, and while my son did read it, he said the same, that he didn't know what was going on.

We're trying to track down the other books, and between the library and the book store, I'm sure we can catch up.

The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch

I like the paper bag princess, but it would be better if it was a chapter book. When I read it that is what I thought it was, but it’s a picture book meant for little kids. But I liked when the dragon burned off all her clothes and she could only find a paper bag to wear.

I like the fact that she’s smarter than the prince, and the dragon. She doesn’t need a prince to save her, especially a dumb prince like Ronald who only cares about being rich and having a “real” princess to marry.

Elizabeth calls him a bum. That’s the best part!

Girls don’t need a boy to save them. We save ourselves.

Then she runs off into the sunset in her paper bag.
