Review: Ol' Mama Squirrel

Ol' Mama Squirrel by David Ezra Stein

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The K kids will love this cute story about the little animals they see all over their streets and in their trees. They will totally love that the mama is protecting her babies. I also think - with a little bit of a stretch this could illustrate the idea of bystanders in the bullying conversation. Mama enlists the help of other squirrels to chase away the big bad bear bully. By herself, her family would have been eaten. But with all of the other squirrel mamas beside here, they defeated the bear.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid - Cabin Fever

by Jeff Kinney I was so lucky to get the new Diary of a Wimpy Kid book in right before Thanksgiving and it wasn't quite ready for the shelf so I brought it home to read it. It was a great day to start my Thanksgiving. It's another fun story about Greg Hefley and his diary of some time in the winter. My favorite part was when he used mascara to paint a 6-pack on his tummy to look like he did lots of sit-ups. What was your favorite part?

The Lightning Thief

by Rick Riordan The first in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series is pretty good. It mixes a current story with ancient greek mythology. I was never a fan of mythology, but this story kept me reading until the end. I enjoyed the twists and turns and would recommend it to any age 3rd grade and up!
