Finally he throws up his hands and decides to fight winter. Fox is surprised, however, when his plan fails and winter fights back

This is a new edition to the Fox books from author Corey Tabor and I loved it. Fox is clever and resourceful making this an entertaining read. With humorous illustrations and short simple sentences this makes a perfect shared reading book. Fox reminded me of a child who is tired of being stuck inside the house because it is to cold to play outside. Everyone misses their friends when they are gone and fox is no exception. This is the perfect read for anyone who is tired of winter so check out Fox Versus Winter and find out just how to fight winter!

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin Illustrated by Leslie Evans Charlesburg; 2009; unpaged Faces of the Moon is a short nonfiction book that describes the different phases of the moon and why the moon appears like it does on certain nights. This book is short and sweet so even the youngest of moon lovers will enjoy it. The layout is simplistic and easy to follow. I don’t know much about the moon so I found it very interesting.

The Girl Who Could Fly by Victoria Forester 2008

J Fiction 328 pages I almost didn't finish this book. I got to Chapter 4, and was just about ready to quit (a kind of slow story about a girl, name of Piper McCloud, who discovers she can fly, parents freak out, she becomes a social outcast, yadda, yadda) but suddenly, right there in Chapter 4, the story takes a sharp turn and becomes really interesting . Piper finds herself in the company of others like her, but not "fliers", and under the care and authority of Dr. Hellion. I won't even tell you any more. Read this book. Forester does a great job of keeping you wondering who's the good guy and who's the bad? Piper is a likeable, strong, endearing character that girl readers will enjoy. But don't NOT give it to boys! The main male character is an extremely intelligent young man who is one of the ones you wonder about . . . good or bad? This is a good one, well worth your time.
