I wanted to read this book ahead of the movie coming out to streaming platforms. This book was made even better by Mark Bramhall's narration. The story of how these boys, who came from simple working families, pushed through all skepticism and doubts pushing their way to the 1936 Berlin Olympics. At a time when many rowing teams were sons of lawyers, doctors and senators, these boys were not the ones with the training facilities and high caliber schools at their disposal. They rose above and worked extra jobs during summers to afford to enroll in school each year to be able to get another shot at being part of something even bigger than they even realized at the time. Please be sure to read through the epilogue as well. It gives you a deeper understanding of the time period and how poignant this particular Olympics was.

Perfect book for toddlers learning boundaries! This book is just what we needed! My toddler was going through a biting phase, and People Don’t Bite People helped in such a fun and gentle way. The rhymes are catchy, the illustrations are bright and engaging, and the message is clear—biting is not okay. Now my little one proudly repeats, “People don’t bite people!” A great, positive way to teach kids about self-control. Highly recommend!

Have read all Mo Willems books and became his big fan

Oh the length of this book in audio version... I really struggled to finish this book. The first half of the book seemed to drone on forever, without ever really getting interesting. The second half of the book is where it finally picked up! The tennis driven family of 6 in a twisting and turning whirlwind of who did it, where is mom, who is this stranger living with my parents, did dad kill mom was intriguing to say the least. I did watch the series after I read the book, it took some different turns, but ultimately told the same story. I would recommend watching the series, as it does the book justice, though reading the book - know it gets better in the second half when things are moving faster!

Fun and a little different—keeps kids curious! Have You Seen Dinosaurs? is an interesting and unique take on a favorite topic. It kept my toddler engaged with its playful tone and imaginative approach. A fun read for any dinosaur lover who enjoys something a little different!

This book is very funny. It is about a unicorn and a girl who have adventures together. In this particular book it talks about going to music camp and about the summer and how it went for the girl and the unicorn.

Love to solve math helps to think more

The amazing colors o Christmas.

The Missing Princess of Celestia is a great coming-of-age YA fantasy book filled with adventure, love, sacrifice, heartache, and more. The book leaves you hooked and asking questions in just the first few chapters. It begs you to read more to discover what happens to these kids and whether or not the main character decides to save her birth planet.

I have been waiting to read this one ever since I read part one, Lobizona. Part 2 did not disappoint! Again this book takes you into a fantasy world where there are humans and the unknown world of Werewolves and Witches. The main character is not like the others. She is a hybrid of human and werewolf. What sets her apart further is that she is the only known female to ever be born a werewolf. The story weaves the struggles of being an illegal in the human world and an illegal in the Septimo world. Her character has not found her pack/family in either. She has to hide in the human world with her human mother and still in the Septimo world she remains hidden because she is a hybrid. She finally finds her place amongst a group of friends and Covenant that are trying to make change in their world. As their catalyst she tells her truth, but is it worth the price she will have to pay? This is written in a Spanish-Harry Potter-esc kind of way that had me fully engaged the whole way through! I know by the author's interviews that this was written as only a two book story, but I really feel there could be a third book as there is still more to the story that I long to know.
