Bizzy Bear: Fun on the Farm

Bizzy Bear: Fun on the Farm
By Benji Davies
Nosy Crow, 2011. Unpaged. Board book.

Help Bizzy Bear with his day on the farm by feeding the pigs, counting the ducks, gathering eggs, and waving goodbye! Although the text in this book is weak with the bulk being "Bizzy Bear, Bizzy Bear," it is more than redeemed by the darling, cozy illustrations and sturdy sliders to push and pull. Toddlers will be entranced with this book and will want to spend hours reading and re-reading this book and interacting with the busy little bear! The format of this book is so wonderfully sturdy that it can even be given to a small child to read on his own without fear of destruction. This book is perfect for busy little children!

Review: Faker

By
Faker By Gordon Korman New York: Scholastic Press, 2024. Fiction. 214 pages. 12-year-old Trey is used to starting over at a new school -- he has the routine perfectly memorized: make new friends, introduce his dad to the wealthy parents of his new friends, and "Houdini" themselves out of there before they get caught running their latest scam. Trey's dad is a master con artist, and Trey has just been promoted to full-partner. Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into. The only problem is that Trey is starting to grow tired of moving around and never putting down roots, especially after forming a fast friendship with Logan and developing a crush on Kaylee, a socially conscious girl in his class. As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...

Review: Ruthie Rose's Big Idea

By
  Ruthie Rose's Big Idea Written by John Schu Illustrated by Holly Hatam Somerville, MA: Candlewick Press, 2025. Picture Book. Some books just reach out and touch your heart and heal your soul. This is one of those books for me! Ruthie Rose wakes up one day with a beautiful idea. Because the idea is so big, she knows she will need a lot of help from people at her school. Fortunately, there are many faculty members and students ready and willing to help Rose with her idea. This story, and the accompanying artwork feel so joyful, hopeful, and inspiring. The artwork is completely captivating. I can picture so many kids and grown-ups reading this book and feeling a spark of creativity enter into their minds. I think it could give kids the courage they need to plan and implement their own "big ideas."  I loved that no one saw Ruthie's ideas as too big, too hard, or too much. They shared her vision, and each of them individually did their part to contribute in helping it co...
