Laser Moose and Rabbit Boy by Doug Savage

3.5 stars
jf graphic novel

Y'all.... this was so bizarre.

My kids found it HILARIOUS.  MeiMei was particularly amused.

And really, who wouldn't be?  Laser Moose and his sidekick Rabbit Boy protect the forest from seriously weird happenings in three stories.

Aquabeebear might have been my favorite.

If you have a elementary schooler in your life-- get this.

The Princess in Black by Shannon and Dean Hale

This is a MUST READ.  Seriously.  For everyone.

An adorable chapter book, it's a great choice for reading aloud or for a new reader just transitioning to chapter books, because it's kind of a picture book set up as a chapter book. lol

Simple text, great pictures, short chapters.  What more could you want?

Oh yeah, and DELIGHTFUL story.

I am desperately hoping there are more of these to come.

I read it aloud to MeiMei and she loved it.  Really, MeiMei kind of lives her life as if she were a princess super hero (she wore a Spiderman costume with a tutu for Halloween), so how could she not?

Possibly we need to own this one. :)

Man of Steel books

We got a whole pile of Man of Steel books for review and they are lots of fun.  I haven't had the chance to read them all yet, but I love the variety.

Man of Steel: Reusable Sticker Book
by John Sazaklis
My kids LOVE sticker books.  Mister got one for his birthday last year and it kept his attention part of every day for quite a while. I was impressed.  So a Superman one?  Awesome!

Man of Steel: The Early Years
by Frank Whitman
This one is a junior novel.  Nobody's had a chance to read it yet, sorry! but Boo and Mister have liked the other junior novels we've tried.  And hey, it's Superman!  Mister is at that age... all things super heroes are automatically amazing. :)

Man of Steel: Superman Saves Smallville
by John Sazaklis
This is what my friend refers to as a "spinner book"-- you know, the square ones that book stores keep on spinner racks?  In this one, villains have come to Earth and Superman must save his town.

Man of Steel: The Fate of Krypton
by John Sazaklis
Another spinner book.  This one about Krypton and Superman being sent to Earth.

Man of Steel: Superman's Powers
by Lucy Rosen
An "I Can Read" level 2 book.  We're reading a lot of this kind of thing lately.  Well, Mister is.  Really they're a little too easy, but that's not always a bad thing.  It's, obviously, all about Superman.

Man of Steel: Friends and Foes
by Lucy Rosen
Another "I Can Read" level 2.  This one introduces kids to the various characters, both good and evil.
