Review:
The flying
books aren’t the only fantastic part of this book. In fact, the story and
illustrations put up a phenomenal fight to overtake them! There’s only one word
to describe this fabulous piece of children’s literature…, timeless. Two thumbs up!
Goldi Rocks and the Three Bears:
Age range:
Probably around 6-8 yrs old.
Summary:
Papa Bear,
Mama Bear, and Baby Bear know how to rock! But they need a new singer, so they
audition everyone—the Three Pigs, Little Red Riding Hood, and more. To their
dismay, no one seems just right.
Review:
If you’re
looking for a fun rhyming book, this would be a good place to start. It’s not a
great book, but it’s funny, and sometimes that’s all you need to have a good
time. As far as the illustrations go, they match well with this light-hearted
story.
The Winner:
Congratulations to The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore!
We will see you in
November!
We’ll see
everyone else next week!
