Juvenile illustrated fiction, 256 pages

Andy and Terry are best friends who live together in a tree house all by themselves. The tree house is the most amazing place you could ever think of. It has, among other things, a pool, bowling alley, observation deck, secret laboratory, shark tank and even a lemonade fountain. Sounds like a sweet life for two active young boys. However, they have a big dilemma. They are really an author/illustrator team that is way behind on a deadline to the editor. They have all sorts of adventures while they struggle with writer's block until they decide to put all those crazy events into a book. Now you, the lucky reader, have that very book in your hands. Silly illustrations add to an even sillier story that is sure to appeal to fans of Big Nate and Diary of a Wimpy Kid.

Review: The Mixed-Up Owl

The Mixed-Up Owl Written by Marzena Sowa Illustrated by Joanna Lorno New York : Hippo Park, 2025. Picture Book. When Owl can't sleep at night, he heads off to see if any forest animals can help him understand why, and even more so, how to fix it! Unfortunately, all the animals Owl runs into at night are asleep and all the animals he meets during the day are too rude or too busy to answer him. Will Owl give up or will a chance meeting with a grumpy hedgehog provide all the solutions Owl was looking for? The premise of an owl trying to stay awake during the day because all the other animals around him do is very fun. Kids who know that owls are nocturnal will get a kick out of Owl's confusion and be quick to try to tell him what's going on.

The illustrations are charming, especially cute Owl and his expressive body langua...
