Too Busy Marco

By



by Roz Chast
Atheneum, 2010. Unpaged. Picture Book.


Marco would go to bed if he weren't so busy. When his windup clock (with legs) points out the time--time to get ready for bed--Marco lists off all the reasons he doesn't have time for bed. He still has painting to do. And he needs to discover new fish. How about painting the new fish he has discovered, such as Boots-o'-the-Sea or the Cube-Headed La-di-dah, with the underwater paint he has yet to invent? And what about bowling with Uncle Ed? Though all Marco's plans are important and pressing he still, alas, has to go to bed where his adventures go on in his dreams. Roz Chast has delivered another laugh out loud book for kids, text and pictures equally funny. Kids will relate to the little bird, with the human mother, who is way too busy to go to sleep.

Review: Last One Picked

By
  Last One Picked By Audrey Meeker New York: Feiwel & Friends, 2026. Comic.  Annabeth has never been very athletic, but that doesn't matter. She is perfectly content to spend her time with her Warrior Princess books and volunteering at the library. When summer comes, her mom is convinced by their stuck up neighbor to send Annabeth to volleyball camp, the last place she would ever want to be. Not only does she feel completely out of her depth, her ex-best friend, Serena, is there- and she is not happy that Annabeth is infringing on her domain. However, with the help of some encouraging coaches and teammates, Annabeth slowly starts to realize that she doesn't mind volleyball so much, and might even have a place on the team after all. This graphic novel will hit home for many tweens, especially as it deals with several relevant topics, such as body image, gaining confidence, and how we should treat others. The illustrations were bright and colorful, and the story itself ...
