17- Ace Lacewing Bug Detective by David Biedrzycki
Writing: B+ Illustrations: A-
This is great for bug lovers and mystery lovers. Probably best for kids in first grade as they may get the jokes in it better than my 4 year old. The story brings in lots of different bugs which are fun to point out. Sometimes the story gets a little bogged down. I was also bugged (ha, ha) with the lack of legs that some of the insects had. Bees should have 6 legs, not four.
My daughter: Asked to read it again and again
18-Sneezy Louise by Irene Breznak illustrated by Janet Pedersen
Writing: A Illustrations: A
I wouldn't mind having this one at my house. It follows Louise who has a bad day sneezing on things and getting told to cover her mouth. It was a rotten day. In the end, he parents make it all better. Cute pictures and it teaches to cover your mouth when you sneeze without being too preachy.
19- Ordinary Mary's Extraordinary Deed by: Emily Pearson illustrated by: Fumi Kosaka
Writing: A Illustrations: A
This is a pay it forward book. It looks at ordinary Mary doing one nice thing. If the person she does a nice thing for does a nice thing for 5 other people, by the time that happens 15 times, every person on earth will have had a nice thing done for them. A hard concept to understand for a kid, but the author makes an interesting book about it which my daughter immediately wanted to read again.
