Review: Famous Fails

Failures come in all sizes from large to simple mistakes. Some failures result in something completely different and yet wonderful at the same time. Some require fixing and some are simply learning tools. 
My Thoughts: In order to succeed in life, there are going to be failures - lots of failures. Failures are a requirement in life. But failing can also be devastating and it's important to realize everyone fails. So I really enjoyed this book because not only because it highlighted failures (both famous and not so famous) but because it also played around with failure (upside down pages) to create a fun but effective message. 

Cover Thoughts: Fun
Source: My Library
Final Thoughts: Perfect for public and school libraries.

Tween Tuesday Review: This or That

I flipped through this book with my husband. Some questions were really easy to answer, some were a little harder, and some were down right difficult.

I loved the format of the book. The questions, then the facts behind the answer you chose and at the end of each chapter what your choices reveal about you. Once again ,the graphics are great. The cool fonts and bright colors help create an atmosphere of fun. 
Another winner to share with friends that had us talking and laughing over our choices.
