Review: Sandwiches

A fun cookbook for tweens and kids.

The pictures are super with lots of great information about the history of the sandwiches and other fun facts:

Here's the fluffernutter:

This is the  PB and J.

They show you how the make the sandwich. And dare you to add on other items or sometimes the different ways people make the sandwich. 

And the historical timeline of the sandwich. (Not all sandwiches get this - but it's fascinating)

A great book for sandwich lovers and perfect for public libraries. 

Children's Picture Book Review: Good Morning Superman

Superman gets ready for the day just like this young boy. Heroes are normal people who do extraordinary deeds.

I really love this series as it connects superheroes with everyday actions. This one works really well with Bedtime for Batman. Again, the pictures are great. I love the two page spread of Superman and the young boy, both getting the jobs done. I hope this series continues with other superheroes!

I read this one at a daycare a few weeks ago (superhero theme) and the kids really enjoyed it!

Picture Book Review: Bedtime for Batman

The superheros have many of the same jobs, just a little bit different in getting ready for bed and cleaning up the city. 

My Thoughts: A really great bedtime story that parallels going to bed with Batman's nightly work. I really enjoyed the two page spread, one side of bedtime and one side of Batman. The illustrations were fantastic and captured the mood of the story. A sweet and entertaining book that young ones will love. 

Cover Thoughts: Adorable

Tween Tuesday Review: The Last Great Adventure of the PB& J Society

Annie and Jason are best friends - they do everything together. Until they learn that Jason's family has financial troubles and might be moving. Luckily Annie has lots of ideas on how to raise money to save Jason's house.

Except none of them work out the way she planned. But she's not about to give up. She can't lose her best friend. Can she find a way to save them? Maybe an ancient pirate treasure? Or maybe win the lottery. Or maybe...

My Thoughts: Oh man, this book was excellent and it seriously tugged at my heartstrings. I felt terrible for Annie and for the thought of her best friend leaving her. I like that she had a lot of ideas to help. She has a really big heart, even if none of the ideas turned out well. I felt terrible for Jason, for what his family was going through and for how his parents acted. I love how Annie and Jason befriended Mrs. Schuster. I loved the realistic ending.

Cover Thoughts: Really Cute
