Can You Make a Scary Face by Jan Thomas

By loo

Can You Make a Scary Face is a fantastic interactive book to read to children. Don’t expect any fancy illustrations; they are simple with solid colors. The book involves a ladybug asking children (the reader) if they can do certain things such as wiggle their nose and do the chicken dance. The bug is having fun getting the reader to do all kinds of tricks and silly things when a giant hungry frog comes into the picture. It is up to the reader to make a scary face to get the frog to leave. This is a fun read-a-loud and one that I would suggest to any parent or storyteller. I can’t wait to read it to my library class. Read this book to help get the sillies out of kids or even possibly make them sillier! Haha

This book was a huge hit with my 3-year-old son! We were both laughing hysterically as we did what the little bug asked us to do. The pictures are perfectly bold and colorful for young children.

Review: The Factory

By
The Factory By Catherine Egan New York, NY : Scholastic Inc., 2025. Fiction. 306 pages.  Thirteen-year-old Asher Doyle has been invited to join the Factory, a secretive research facility in the desert which ostensibly extracts renewable energy from the electromagnetic fields of its young recruits. But Asher soon realizes something sinister is going on. Kids are getting sick. The adults who run the Factory seem to be keeping secrets. And the extraction process is not only painful and exhausting, but existentially troubling. Asher makes a handful of new friends who help him with an investigation that turns into a resistance, which turns into...a cliffhanger!

Egan weaves in detail about climate crises and social unrest, making the story's dystopian setting feel rich and plausible. With its sophisticated themes and accessible storytelling, I would recomm...
