Irish immigrant Molly Murphy returns to Ireland on a job to find a missing relative. Unfortunately, she gets involved with a murder on board the boat taking her back to her native country. I normally love this historical series, but this one was up to par. The mystery was sacrificed in favor of the historical plot, which was good enough to redeem the book.

Dinosaurs are a fascination for most children at a young age. Most children are into them. I have been into Dinosaurs since I was a little kid. I still have a fascination with them. This book, "Dinosaurs," is geared toward young readers and children.

It has rhyming and some fun facts about dinosaurs for children to learn. The book can help teach children and adults how to pronounce some famous dinosaurs' names and give a few fun facts about them though out the book. Little ones can hold the book, point at the dinosaurs, and have fun looking at and opening the book without damaging the book.

Dinosaurs are fun and enjoy the read. I like how a child or children can learn about dinosaurs through this book. The pictures are done well and enjoyable. Parents will love this book as it is educational and enjoyable for their children.

Dinosaurs are for though that who love learning about Dinosaurs. The board book is made nice and thick for those young readers. These are some famous dinosaurs.
  
I read this book very slowly through DailyLit, and even then I did not understand most of what I read or particularly enjoy it. When I read a book, I make a point of finding something to like about it, no matter how bad it is. I like chess, which plays a part in the book, but about the only thing that made sense in that context was Alice becoming a queen by getting to the end of the board. I know the text is a classic, but sometimes I don't care for a classic, and this is one of those times, unfortunately. While the book is chock full of great quotes, and an ideal book for a child to enjoy because of the imagination put into it, overall I'm not a fan.
