Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2206 KP) rated Bartholomew and the Oobleck in Books

Mar 9, 2018

King Derwin of Didd is tired of the same old four things coming down from the sky, so he decides to get his magicians to create something new – Oobleck. However, his page Bartholomew things something is dangerous about it. Is he correct?

One of Dr. Seuss’s older books, it can be long and isn’t told in his typical rhyme. Still shows his creativity, however, and there are some good lessons worked into the story without preaching as well. Fun for older kids and adults looking for a longer picture book.

ashezbookz (32 KP) rated The Graveyard Book in Books

Jul 5, 2018

I listened to audio of this - and it was spectacular. I don't think I would have rated this book as high had I not listened to the audio of it.

The story was a bit old ......stuff I've read before - a bit boring - but alas, it's a bit middle grade and I'm used to more fast paced exciting blood and guts - but it was still fun to listen to - epic-ly fun to listen to - my first book with full cast and boy was it worth it! I will look for more books like that because wow..........just, listen to the audio you wont be disappointed!

Roxanne (13 KP) rated Peppa Pig: Peppa's Magical Unicorn in Books

Nov 14, 2018

My daughter loves both Unicorns and Peppa Pig so I thought this would be a great one to get from the library. It's a great little story and the book itself is just stunning to look at. The front cover is a beautiful blue and is covered in glitter, the artwork is very good and the story itself is cute and well written. My 3 year old does have a bit of a short attention span when it comes to books which are a bit wordy so I might re-visit this one again when she's a bit older. Highly recommended for children who love Unicorns and Peppa Pig.
