Welcome to NoFuzzball's queendom. No, her name is not Fuzzball. It's NoFuzzball. After all, that's what everyone in her queendom chants all the time. "No, Fuzzball!"

NoFuzzball enjoys her servants immensely. They give her toys, massages, food... anything she wants! NoFuzzball is obviously the queen. So she is appalled when one day, without warning, her servants get up and leave on a vacation! All alone, NoFuzzball decides to come up with a few gifts to give her servants when they return. What surprises will she have in store? You'll have to read No Fuzzball! to find out!

This picture book is absolutely hilarious, especially if you know a cat's disposition and how they usually act like the whole world revolves around their furry, fuzzy cuteness. The illustrations are fun and vibrant, adding to the charm of the story. Children who love cats will adore NoFuzzball and her crazy antics!

Dude, That's Rude! (Get Some Manners) by Pamela Espeland & Elizabeth Verdick

If there's one book today's kids need to read, it is Dude, That's Rude! (Get Some Manners) . The authors provide a fun format for teaching etiquette to children. They discuss proper behavior at home, at school, at other people's homes and in public places. The information is completely up-to-date with cellphone manners and netiquette included. Fun, cartoony illustrations are on practically every page giving the book great visual appeal. This book is perfect for boys and girls in the fourth grade or older.

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.
