Great for sparking the imagination with simple suggestions. My favorite is a run of four pages that just have one line drawn on each one - the first says "Draw a dragonfly balancing on the pole", the second "Draw a sparrow balancing on the pole", then "Draw a tiger balancing on the pole" and finally "Draw an elephant balancing on the pole". The prompts on each page are simple enough for beginning readers so my daughter loves it! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79883873 Love, Ruby Lavender (Paperback) by Deborah Wiles

Okay, so the story is a bit over the top and perhaps unrealistic, but Shannon's characters are so real that I didn't care. I love it when I feel like I could be reading about my next door neighbor - it helps me escape more into the story. I smiled, I laughted, I cried - it was fun. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73317238 Forest Born (The Books of Bayern, #4) by Shannon Hale

A fascinating read - it's inspiring to see how one person with passion and commitment can accomplish so much. It's also refreshing to hear about the people who live there who aren't extremist and gain greater understanding into their culture. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79035199 Skunks!
