Wuv Bunnies from Outers Pace - David Elliott & Ehtan Long

Hercules Smith wakes up Saturday morning thinking it is going to be a typically normal Saturday morning. Boy, is he wrong! There's a giant carrot in his backyard. Wait! It's not just a carrot, it's a space ship! As he is investigating this strange object two large rabbits (I mean Wuv Bunnies) come out of the carrot. After some excruciatingly funny jokes they inform Hercules that it is his job to save earth from the Funny Bunnies (not funny ha-ha) and Triple B. They are starting to take over the earth in Hercules very own town. Their evil plan - to turn all children into giant carrots (not adults - they don't have any flavor). Will Hercules be able to do it? Will his very own dog ruin everything?
The text and illustrations are of a simple nature, but complement each other very well. Young kids, especially boys, will get a lot of laughs out of reading Wuv Bunnies from Outers Pace.

Painting for Peace in Ferguson

Painting for Peace in Ferguson By Carol Swartout Klein Treehouse Publishing Group, 2015. Nonfiction. When the city of Ferguson was overrun with so much hate and despair that homes and businesses had to be boarded up to protect property, citizens of the community decided to bring a message of hope by painting the boarded windows. Klein’s rhyming text supports the photographs of the hundreds of artists and volunteers and their artwork as they bring the messages of peace, hope, love, and that by being united they can make a difference. A great book to show children how a community rallied to make a positive change and that even a small gesture can make a huge difference. A great discussion opener on how we should treat each other.

Dragon Run

Dragon Run by Patrick Matthews Scholastic, 2013. 336 pgs. Fantasy Al Pilgrommor is excited for Testing Day, when he will receive his rank, a tattooed number on the back of his neck, and a path forward to his future occupation and life. He feels confident because his parents were fours on a scale of seven, but he is worried for his friend Wisp who doesn't have much of a chance of scoring above a two at best. But when Al is scored a zero, he not only has no prospects, he may lose his life as the dreaded Cullers are unleashed to kill him and his family to purify the land's bloodlines. Al's world is ruled by dragons--the lords and supposed creators of humankind--so he thinks that even if he survives, he will have to make his living as a beggar or thief. But when Al sticks up for his Earther friend in front of Magister Ludi, he is drawn into the struggle of a secret organization hoping to destroy the Cullers, and perhaps the dragons them...
