Dino Duck: Prehysterical
by Jay Fosgitt
Chila, Calif. : Ape Entertainment, 2012
unpaged, comic book
 
Did you know that "millions upon millions of years ago" dinosaurs weren't the only creatures living on Earth. They shared the planet with "crafty apes and big, hulking ducks wearing animal pelts". There is one nameless duck who is forced to live separate from his peers, he is just too intellectual for them. It is a good situation though as he is free to think and do whatever he pleases. He brilliantly invents items that make life easier for the rest of the tribe as well as aid them in their constant battle with the monkeys. However, the nameless duck wishes everyone could just get along - see he is really quite intelligent. Prehysterical is a funny comic book read for kids 3rd grade and up from the quirky creator of Little Green Men.

Review: The House with Nobody in It

By
  The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book.  The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story.  This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
