Who says education can't be fun? The World is Full of Nouns by Elizabeth Lareau will set them straight! Lots of colourful pictures with some nouns identified and where kids can find even more 'things'.

Any new book in Philipp Schott's Dr Peter Bannerman Vet Mystery series automatically goes onto my TBR: #3, Eleven Huskies: A Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery is just as enjoyable and entertaining as the first two. 5★shttps://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Chernobyl: The Fall of Atomgrad by Matyáš Namai
A graphic novel about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster. Won't have much to offer if you have already read other nonfiction works on the topic, but a good book for those who want a quick gist of the events.

My review of
White Nights by Ann Cleeves, #2 in her excellent Shetland series featuring Jimmy Perez. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I am stretching out my favourite Sebastian St Cyr Historical Mystery Series by C.S. Harris to try to make them last. They are the best. Why Kill the Innocent is #13, and the Frost Fair and wintry weather were as chilling as the murders. Terrific atmosphere.
My review of Why Kill The Innocent with a painting of the 1814 Frost Fair
The Ghost Writer by bestselling author Loreth Anne White is an entertaining short story with a good creepy atmosphere. It's another of Amazon's Original Stories.
