ZooBorns: The Newest, Cutest Animals from the World's Zoos and Aquariums
by Andrew Bleiman & Chris Eastland
Simon & Schuster, 2010. 160 pages. Nonfiction picture book.

Ok. This book could probably win "The Cutest Book Ever" award. I mean, just look at the cover! Each page in this small (6"x6") book is completely covered by the photograph of a brand new little baby animal. I would tell you which ones were the cutest to look at, but my list would be too long. With each picture is information about the animal including its name, the zoo where it was born, its species and whether or not it is endangered. However, the additional text, though fun to read, is not very enlightening. For example, the native habitat of a species is only sometimes mentioned. That being said, the photos will capture your heart. Take one look at Sawyer and Hoover, the baby Tawny Frogmouths, or Amani, the baby aardvark, and you will immediately forgive the inconsistency of information. This book will garner sweet ooohs and delightful aaahs from all ages and both genders.

If You Like...KPop Demon Hunters

By
KPop Demon Hunters has been one of the most talked-about movies of the summer. If you loved this movie as much as I did, you don't want the magic (or the music) to stop. Try reading these books that touch on some of the same topics and themes as the animated hit! Brick Dust and Bones By M. R. Fournet New York: Feiwel and Friends, 2023. Fiction. 247 pages. Orphaned Marius works in the family business--as their cemetery's ghost caretaker. However, Marius also moonlights as a monster hunter in order to earn the costly Mystic currency he needs to bring his mother back from the dead. As the window to bring his mother back begins to close, Marius's exploits get more and more dangerous, and he may have set his sights on a monster too big to handle on his own. Like Mira, Marius longs for familial connection, and his work as a monster hunter will satisfy the thrill of demon hunting for fans the movie. Where's Halmoni? By Julie J.

Review: I Hate Everything!

By
  I Hate Everything! By Sophy Henn  New York: Beach Lane Books, 2025. Picture Book.  Two ghosts are floating atop a solid colored background. The first one yells, “I HATE EVERYTHING!” The second ghost responds, “Really?” Thus, begins the conversation which helps the first ghost realize that they don’t actually hate everything. This is a great picture book that is all about feelings and ghosts. The simple speech bubbles will allow even young preschoolers to understand what is happening. The illustrations though simple, have clever bits that readers will laugh out loud at. Basically, this is a brilliant book that every young reader who is mad at the world (or who knows someone who seems to be mad at the world) should read.
