A hardcover slipcase set of the first three books in the FunJungle series (Belly Up, Poached, and Big Game). Join Teddy Fitzroy as has finds danger and mystery involving the animals at FunJungle, a giant zoo/amusement park in Texas. Each book features a different animal as well, from hippos to koalas and rhinos.

These books are wonderful! They are filled with great mysteries, twists, danger, comedy, and characters you'd want to have as friends. Teddy's parents are just as great as the kid characters are. Anyone looking for a great mystery will be glad they read these books.

What do I want to be?
This children's book has its issues deciding what message it is really trying to give. The main theme is bullying is wrong, but it also gets mixed up with telling lies just makes things worse and while set in a zoo doing less that likely jobs make the whole thing difficult for it to give its message clearly and uncluttered by the extras.
A shame really, my daughter enjoyed it but didn't pick up the full message without some reinforcements.
Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher. and the author for allowing me to read and review a digital copy of this book.
  
The Land of Reverse  by David Manousos has a gentle tone with a soothing cadence to the words that suit perfectly for bedtime readings. The illustrations are a great accompaniment. 

The story is about Sam who could not sleep one night. He let his mind wander to the Land of reverse. Everything Sam thought of in reality was backwards. Your hands are your feet, cars drive on the sidewalk, the animals in the zoo have the humans caged and feed them. Sam returns back to his bed happy and cannot wait to return to the Land of Reverse.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and Dog Ear Publishing in exchange for an honest review.
