Hi Kids, It is time for my weekly book review.  This week's book is written and illustrated by the same person!  Wow - multi-talented huh!  It is a great book - my entire family enjoyed it! This week, my book review is on "Mighty Mo" by author/illustrator by Alison Brown . What makes us choose a specific book to read?   (I know - isn't it interesting to think about!) This week what caught my attention was the bright red color on the cover of the book.   I loved the emotions of the characters on the cover too.  No words were needed to see what they were feeling. The main character of the book is a racoon named Mo.   Mo is a wild racoon who is terribly bored.  Mo was so bored he took off to find something to do.  Do you know what he did?  He broke into a zoo. Yep, it is true (at least according to the book!) he broke into the zoo.  The first animal he passes is a penguin.  I LOVE penguins.  T...

Hi Kids, It is time for my weekly book review.  There are so many GGGGRRRREAT books out there, it is difficult to pick one to review each week.   I want to review more than one!! This week, my book review is on " Dragon was Terrible " by author, Kelly DiPucchio and illustrated by Greg Pizzoli . What makes us choose a specific book to read?   It can be a number of things.  This week what caught my attention was the title of the book.   I had to laugh out loud when I read it.... Dragon was Terrible !   Instantly, I wanted to read more. The first page begins the story saying, "Dragon was terrible.  Naturally, dragons have a bit of terrible in them because they are dragons after all."   I laughed to myself (well, Rembrandt Blue, my cat besty, heard me too.)  That is so true.  Who isn't afraid of a dragon?  I asked myself, "Why are we afraid of dragons?  Well, because...they are dragons...duh!"  ...

Hi Kids, I have a great book to review for you this week!   The full name of the book is "Freddy & Frito and the Clubhouse Rules" by Alison Friend. The main characters are Freddy, a cute little fox, and Frito, Freddy's best friend who is a mouse.   The opening illustration shows Freddy and Frito painting.     You know how I love art.   I took a moment and really looked at the illustration.   Freddy was painting a bicycle - his painting was neat and organized.  Frito was painting ...gosh...it was a flurry of color creating an abstract painting.   Do you know what "abstract" art is?   Abstract art is basically the use of color creatively without creating a specific form.   It is the freedom to be creative and enjoy color.    (okay - back to the book) Freddy and Frito are best friends and love playing at each other's homes.   At each home, there are rules....
