Lindsay (1725 KP) rated Mia and Nattie One Great Team! in Books

I found a sweet book about a little girl and a baby lamb. This story is a sweet one. Though I think mostly about compassion and how being unique and special. What will happen to this baby sheep that is born and makes a connection with a little girl?
Will Mia find a special job that will help keep her on the farm? Will Grandma sell her as she thinks. Mia seems quite attached to Nattie. The story seems to show you that small and little that they can help when they find the right job or special thing they are good at.
The pictures are done well. They are cute. The pictures are what makes me turn the pages. They seem drawn well. Mia does some special care for Nattie. You will be surprised what Nattie's special magic or talent is.
This book shows what teamwork is or can be. It doesn't always have to be two kids or two people that do the teamwork. That was seen in this book.
This book is good for those that have children that love farm animals and or animals in general. It teaches and also shows that some animals can be calming and stress relievers without being with others. What a lovely story about a little girl and a baby sheep. What a good book to pick up. Children can learn about teamwork and caring for baby animals.

And now for something a little different - a review of a photography book! This one is by a friend of mine, Debbie Zimelman, and I think it is very special, and it was five years in the making. See my #bookreview of it here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/04/30/photos-of-female-fighters/

Loved this book. Expertly switches between being suspenseful, funny, moving, and downright scary. Packed with little inside references to other books that somehow only serve to make it feel more special, and I was highly amused by the little trick the author frequently used with chapter titles. The lead is highly likeable, the circumstances she is thrust to a perfect blend of frightening and awe-inspiring, and the villain is easily one of the most memorable in years. Anyone with even a passing interest in true works of horror should not miss this epic book.
This book has a special place in my heart because it saved my senior thesis in undergrad. I was a lonely little Texan in Midwestern hell, and decided to write my thesis on the TX revolution after I bought this book.
In short, this is the history of the revolution, the Republic of Texas, then becoming part of the USA. The colorful and well-known characters involved in the colonization and subsequent events are all used to create an overall picture of the time period. Overall, a great book.

Silvera Does it Again
I’ve always hated spoilers. But this title is a complete spoiler and we all know both of the main characters are going to die by the end of the book, but that’s what makes their story so special. They have such little time to get to know each other but they form such a deep bond with the time they are given.

Entertaining but flawed
Unusually, this is a book that I’d rate about on par with the film adaptation. As with the film, this is an entertaining read and fairly well written. The basic plot is the same although there have been a few tweaks made for the film - some better, some worse. I much prefer the ending in the book to the film, it’s a little more depressing and a lot less Hollywood (unsurprisingly). I don’t really have much to say about this book, it’s a quick read and quite good, and plods along at a fairly decent rate, it’s just nothing massively special.

I am a big fan of the Steve Alten book series of the Meg. Now....when it comes to the movie....it was....entertaining at most. I saw it in 3D so maybe that’s why. Special effects were okay....nothing spectacular. I do feel that maybe if the movie were casted differently....my rating may be a little different. Wasn’t a big fan of the acting (if that is what we can call it)....
