The Boss Baby
By Marla Frazee
Beach Lane Books, 2010. Unpaged. Picture book.

As everyone knows, when there's a new baby, he or she calls all the shots--welcome to your new boss! He may be small, but don't let that fool you, because he means business. You'll probably be on call 24/7 with no breaks whatsoever! A boss baby also has many tricks up his sleeve to convince you to do his bidding, so be prepared for anything and everything. "The boss. He's here. And FYI--he's a total baby."

Marla Frazee must be congratulated again for this hilarious, wonderfully written and illustrated book! What a gem. Anyone who has ever had a baby or taken care of one can delight wholeheartedly in this funny, goofy, absolutely true story. This is one you won't want to miss!

Review: The Hidden Dragon

By
The Hidden Dragon By Melissa Marr New York: Nancy Paulsen Books, 2023. Fiction. 161 pages. Three children, Otter, London, and Sophia, live in a fantasy world with dragons. Otter (short for Ottilie) is the daughter of a ship captain, and she loves the sea and its dragons. London is a stowaway boy, searching for a new life full of adventure. Sophia lives in a thief house with other children, all dedicated to helping each other and trying to make the kingdom better. As trouble begins to brew both on land and at sea, these three heroes realize that maybe it's up to the kids to make things right. Readers experience the book from multiple perspectives, and with a bit of mystery and adventure, this is an amazing fantasy read. With the inspiring message that children truly can make a difference, readers will enjoy how each character fights for what's right, even when it's inconvenient. The ending is resolved a little quickly, but this is a great read for all "hatchlings."
