“I want to read the duck book”, said the 8 year old. “No”, I said. I knew that Foul Language would make him laugh due to some of the illustrations. He’s also a great reader, because of that the written jokes are ones that he could say aloud. It’s because of that reason that Fowl Language has its place on my book shelf that the kids can’t borrow from. The book has some choice, possibly profane language that you don’t want your kids repeating. However, for parents, Fowl Language is incredibly funny. It’s the kind of laugh out loud funny that moms and dads will share with each other and then laugh at the other’s kids and say “Your kids do that!”.

“It’s a rhyming book”, one of the clever children in class commented as I was reading Monster Trucks to them. The book does rhyme and it’s a monster book that’s being released near Halloween, but the book can’t be defined one that’s exclusive to either camp. Instead, Monster Trucks is a book that contains many aspects of other books that children love and puts them into one happy package that ages 8 and younger will enjoy.

When is a ghost not a ghost? That’s the grey area that surrounds Elizabeth and Zenobia, a mysterious book for students in Grade 5 and up. The book has a foggy air that wraps around the story for most of the book due to the fact that you’re never quite sure what’s real and what isn’t. Elizabeth is a shy, moody teen who’s just moved to a creepy old mansion where her father grew up. Zenobia is her best friend, a ghost who fears nothing and represents the characteristics that Elizabeth lacks. All that’s missing is an instrumental soundtrack from The Sisters of Mercy to make this coming-of-age novel complete.

Our 5YO loves Slinky. Every time he gets the chance to enter a ‘prize bag’ where he gets to choose something he’ll always go for the Slinky. Of course, this isn’t the real metal Slinky that works, these are the cheap plastic versions that don’t really work but allow him to lasso other toys. The Marvelous Thing That Came From A Spring is the true story of how inventor Richard James’ accidental idea sprang into a toy that would last for generations.

What is a Snurtch? A Snurtch is that (id) inside all of us that does the opposite of what we should. My adult Snurtch makes snide or sarcastic comments when they’re not needed. Thankfully the adult version of my Snurtch is rarely seen. For children though their Snurtch is seen on a daily basis and that is the premise behind The Snurtch. The book follows Ruthie, a typical first grade student who likes school, but has a problem with her Snurtch when she’s there.
