( AudioFile Magazine )Ī Reese Witherspoon x Hello Sunshine Book Club YA pick! ![]() ![]() ![]() Duck, of course, has a whole other plan.įor those of you adults who have ever been involved with any kind of job action at work, this book gives new meaning to terms like negotiation, compromise, and strongarm tactics. The cows will send Duck over with their typewriter in exchange for electric blankets. Here is one of my favorite sentences ever: "All the animals gathered around the barn to snoop, but none of them could understand Moo." Cows and farmer hammer out a compromise. ![]() Duck, a neutral party, brings the ultimatum to the cows, who hold an emergency meeting in the barn. "How can I run my farm with no milk and no eggs?" The frustrated old guy gets out his own typewriter and demands milk and eggs. No milk today." Pretty soon, the demands escalate, with the chickens wanting electric blankets, too. "Cows that type? Impossible!" The farmer refuses to accede, so the cows go on strike. The paintings look so goofy and slapdash, but they're the height of bovine nirvana.įarmer Brown can't believe his ears and his eyes when his cows post on the barn door a typed demand for electric blankets.

Harry (15): 3.5 stars, I liked that she finally learned how to read and flew like the birds. ![]() The remarkable thing here is not that she learned to read, but that she didn’t feel like she had a chance to learn to read until she was 114! She was fighting for economic survival all her life! But she did, and read a lot until she died at 121 (still able to see and hear well enough, and hold a pencil to write with, and walk still only with the aid of a cane). literacy can be power, and not just merely decoding words. This is the inspirational story of Mary Walker, born a slave in 1848, freed at fifteen and, like most slaves, deliberately denied the right to read and write because, as you know.

Each year my family reads all the Goodreads-award-nominated picture books. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though it's lighter on material for trans or nonbinary teens (ahem, edition three?), the end result is a fun, easy to read, and occasionally hilarious guide that should be available on a shelf in every high school library in the U.S. In this case, it's sex, STIs, and how to tell if your relationship is abusive (kudos for that one, as many authors forget the dangers in teen dating that are exacerbated by internalized homophobia or biphobia). This second edition combines some "It Gets Better" basics (coming out, dating, and finding your people) as well as the good stuff authors are often forced to leave out of books aimed at teens. ![]() Like a queer 101 manual for queer teens, this second edition of QUEER is a delightful collection of trustworthy and accurate information that tweens and teens need today, all told in a sort of quirky, sometimes goofy, and always approachable older sister tone.

They are spend trying to describe the human characters and their relationships. Second, this is already a very short book, but the first 3 hours nothing really happens. It is just a run of the mill technology runs amuck origins story. I say 'ruin', because it is much less scary than whatever you imagine it may be when you first saw the Aliens movie, or heard any of the later books & audiodramas in the series. With that, it kind of ruins/spoils the threat and mystique of the rest of the series. Because of that, it tries to explain how the xenomorphs came about. Story: Even though this is the first (second if you count origins) Aliens book, it came out very late in the series/movie series. I will try to explain why without spoilers. ![]() ![]() Only get it if you want the whole Aliens series ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The characters and their backdrops are drawn in a style reminiscent of a child's hand, albeit with a sophistication and level of detail not expected of a child. ![]() The somewhat muted color scheme reinforces the Dickensian feel of the novels.

I loved the charm of Olivia Atwater’s Regency Faerie Tales, and while Small Miracles is a very different type of story, it’s nonetheless enjoyable.

When even chocolate fails to move Gadriel’s target, the ex-guardian angel begins to suspect she’s been conned.
