Duck Therapy

Posted on by Bridget

By Joni Armstrong

Book Source: given to me by grandfather

Book Status: available

This book is about a baby duck being late to hatch. He had a bad foot and had to go through therapy. It is based on a real duck.

Kids watch along as he goes through the process. The kids are all getting therapy too.

This book would be good for kids who need therapy. It makes therapy seem fun and show how it helps. Therapy can be scary for kids. It does help.

Kids who like ducks would like this too.

I Survived Graphic Novel

I really like the I Survive books and was excited to hear about graphic novel version. This one is about surviving the Titanic sinking. I haven’t stopped reading it since I got the review copy.

It is historical fiction in a way kids can understand. I have also read the book version of this. The graphic illustrations shows you what the Titanic really looked like and there are facts at the end of the book.

Kids will like this because it is a series we like and a graphic novel. They will learn about a real situation. This could help kids get into the I Survive series too.

Bunny Business

Posted on by Bridget

By Lori Richmond

Book Source: provided by Lori because I (Lil Brother) am her biggest fan

Book Status: Available March 3, 2020

Lori Richmond is the coolest and not just because she did a book with Tim Kubart. I really liked Bunny-stacation and she nicely sent me an advanced copy of Bunny Business.

Bunny Business is about Bunny going to Mama’s work. It is about the travel to work and his day there. The highlight is Bunny gets hungry while Mama is in a meeting.

Lori’s pictures really help the story. There are lots of hidden messages like her previous books or her pictures from her runs. I also know she hides her family in the book. Finding these is just as much fun as reading the book.

I recommend the book to kids who have a Mama who works. My mama works and I have gone to her work. She takes me to her cool projects. She even set up a meeting for me with NHTSA.

Maybe people will read this book when it is take your kid to work day.

This is a Little Brother Love it, Must have it book.

Bigfoot and the Mitten

Review by Little Brother

This is Little Brother and I am taking over Bridget’s blog this week! Come back each day to see what I have to say about books. Now review…

I took this book from Bridget because I like things about Bigfoot. This is a book about Bigfoot exploring Michigan. I have seen a lot of things he sees!

Bigfoot is confused about the Mitten. Michigan is called the Mitten because it looks like one but Bigfoot doesn’t know that.

Kids would like this book because they will learn about Michigan and all the cool things here. It is fun to explore with Bigfoot. It could be cool if Bigfoot explored more states.
