Alisa gave to: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas read in December, 2011	My rating:
This book is a simple read with a "not-so-simple" message. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book,although the subject matter is forlorn. To see a fraction of the "holocaust" through the eyes of an incredibly naive 9-year-old boy, who is clueless to...more

Alisa gave to: Your Personal Penguin by Sandra Boynton	My rating:
Love this book...especially when we listen to the song that goes with it (recorded by Davey Jones from The Monkees). A very catchy tune. It's the only way to read any of Boynton's books being as they are usually sing-songy or raps anyway. Sandra B...more

Alisa gave to: Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok (Goodreads Author)	My rating:
I really enjoyed this book. Although fiction, it opened my eyes to the realities of being an immigrant in America. The struggles, the pains, the extremely hard work (sweatshops), and the importance of having hope are all portrayed very well in this...more

Alisa gave to: Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard Atwater read in October, 2011	My rating:
This book was o.k. It is a quick read, but my interest in the story fleeted, as well. Kids would love it, though. To see a bunch of penguins walking down the street in a single file line, getting into all kinds of mischief, and performing in variet...more

Alisa gave to: True (. . . Sort Of) by Katherine Hannigan read in June, 2011	My rating:
This book was a little hard to get into. I was not connecting with the main character at all. Finally, half way through the book, I started to like little Miss Delly Pattinson and who she was becoming. I wish I could've understood her sooner in th...more

“A first child is your own best foot forward, and how you do cheer those little feet as they strike out. You examine every turn of flesh for precocity, and crow it to the world. But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after--oh, that' s love by a different name.”
― Barbara Kingsolver, The Poisonwood Bible
