Fluffles, impossibly cute illustrated reader for mid-elementary

Remember the Australian fires in 2020? How about the lungs of the Earth are on fire during the Brazilian wildfires of 2020? You may be thinking of the Californian wildfires of 2020? It could have been one of the other years, they blend together. Fluffles, The Brave Koala Who Held Strong Through a Bushfire gives you some idea of the location for this book. The True Stories of Animal Heroes series on Frances Lincoln Children’s Books are fascinating, often unheard of stories that mid-elementary school kids will be able to read by themselves.

Fluffles, the story of a brave koala who survived the 2020 Adelaide fires and was given mittens is impossibly cute for mid-elementary readers.

Resistance is futile

This Book Is Anti-Racist Journal is woke, riot-grrl commerce

The Christmas music test is a constant in our world. If the song is great enough to hear around December, then in theory, you could hear it anytime and be OK with it. A good song is a good song, regardless of whether or not it has seasonal greetings in its content. Books are the same way and This Book Is Anti-Racist Journal is Christmas music for those who like this type of seasonal songs.

This Book Is Anti-Racist Journal is the interactive compendium to the successful and timely 2020 release.

A journal for those who liked the book and want to document it

Onyx is fun, educational, non-fiction that will inspire kids

Onyx True Stories of Animal Heroes is one of the first releases in a new series on Frances Lincoln Children’s Books, an imprint of Quarto Knows. The book feels old-school, from the cloth-like feel of the front and back cover to its spine that has a different color as if channeling a Golden Book. In reality, Onyx is a refreshing, early elementary read-along book or a middle to upper elementary book that will inspire kids to read more about wolves.

Lovely art and an incredible story

The Story of Climate Change, a first eco primer for Mother Jones kids

The Story of Climate Change, A First Book About How We Can Help Save the Planet is the fifth book in the series by Catherine Barr and Steve Williams. It’s an engaging book that introduces second through fourth graders to the history of climate change. The illustrations by Amy Husband and Mike Love are playful, have lots of movement, and certainly keep the eyes of those young readers busy in the best of all possible ways. Most of the target audience will enjoy the book and its approach to global warming is unique in its visual presentation.

The illustrations are great, the text casts a wide net with mixed results

A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals makes learning fun

A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals is the kind of book I would’ve loved as a child. Growing up in the United States I knew about all of our festivals and holidays, but what really intrigued me were the international ones that my classmates or neighbors celebrated. I wanted to try the foods that they ate on those days and had umpteen questions about why they did or believed certain things. When I got older those questions only got more involved as I worked at EPCOT and actually became friends with people from all over the world. A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals by Christopher Corr and Claire Grace is a reference book for grades three and up that takes a look at over 90 celebrations from around the world. It is a reference book, so it’s encyclopedic in nature. However, it’s also loaded with illustrations and brightly colored pages that entice young readers to keep turning the pages.

A Year Full of Celebrations and Festivals is a well constructed book that educates and entertains kids on global happenings.

It’s a reference book. It’s fun to read. It’s a unicorn.
