Review: Out to Get You: 13 Tales of Weirdness and Woe

Out to Get You: 13 Tales of Weirdness and Woe by Josh Allen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So much weirdness packed into every story! Hand this to fans of "Scary Stories to Tell in Dark" that are looking for more creepy tales. I love that some of the stories have tiny little elements that stick with you after you turn the page.... watch out for that knot in the wood that slightly resembles an eye or the pins and needles you feel when you think your foot has just fallen asleep.

Review: The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise

The Remarkable Journey of Coyote Sunrise by Dan Gemeinhart
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this gem of a book. Coyote is as honest as they come. She will make you laugh, and then a few pages later your heart will be right in the thick of her pain as she deals with her grief. I listened to this book, and the narrator was fantastic! This is a story about friendship, family, and getting through the tough times. I will be sharing this book with lots of readers!!!

Review: Luna Loves Library Day

Luna Loves Library Day by Joseph Coelho
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fantastic illustrations. I love that Luna is a mixed race kid. Mom and Dad are not together anymore, but Luna gets to visit with her dad at the library. The two have lots of fun picking out books and letting their imaginations soar.

Review: We Don't Eat Our Classmates

We Don't Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T. Higgins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved the diversity of the class in this story. I also like that this is a story about how making friends is sometimes difficult. Sometimes books make it seem so easy, and that's not real life. There was also just enough humor to have kids laugh out loud, but still get the message.
