A world full of monsters by John Troy McQueen – Almost Favorite, an interesting idea…especially for older kids who are scared of monsters

Sleep tight, Little Mouse by Mary Morgan-Vanroyen – OK Favorite, probably the least likable one we had this week, but still OK

Peedie by Olivier Dunrea – Almost Favorite, not one of Dunrea’s best, but my son still likes these little goslings

I didn’t go to the library last week due to our Christmas Vacation, so this is a review for the books we checked out 2 weeks ago.

Uncles and antlers by Lisa Wheeler – OK Favorite, I liked the general idea

Who took the farmer’s hat? by Joan M. Lexau – OK Favorite

The wheels on the race car by Alex Zane – OK Favorite, my son only liked it a little bit because he likes the “wheels on the bus” song – this wasn’t a good change to the song, for one thing “race car” is way longer to say than “bus”
