Book Review - Fatherhood Legacy Journal


Fatherhood Legacy Journal


About the Book
The Fatherhood Legacy Journal is set up in three month increments. There are no dates so you can start and end when you like. Each month is set up with a Month Planning Preview, then daily pages to stay in tune with who you want to be and what your family needs.


My Take on the Book
In this beautiful book every father gets an opportunity to start to examine what it means to be a father, but even more, it walks you through a 3 month process to be able to use the journal as a resource to start making a plan to have a better understanding of yourself, but also about the legacy that you want to leave for your children.

This is a great book with a lot of space for you to be able to write and reflect. The book is a great gift that any father can give themselves, or anyone can give to a father that they know.

I highly recommend this journal to all dads!

Book Review - We Must Not Forget: Holocaust Stories of Survival and Resistance

We Must Not Forget: Holocaust Stories of Survival and Resistance



About the Book

Sibert Honor author Deborah Hopkinson unearths the heroic stories of Jewish survivors from different countries so that we may never forget the past.

As World War II raged, millions of young Jewish people were caught up in the horrors of the Nazis' Final Solution. Many readers know of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi state's genocidal campaign against European Jews and others of so-called "inferior" races. Yet so many of the individual stories remain buried in time. Of those who endured the Holocaust, some were caught by the Nazis and sent to concentration camps, some hid right under Hitler's nose, some were separated from their parents, some chose to fight back. Against all odds, some survived. They all have stories that must be told. They all have stories we must keep safe in our collective memory.

In this thoroughly researched and passionately written narrative nonfiction for upper middle-grade readers, critically acclaimed author Deborah Hopkinson allows the voices of Holocaust survivors to live on the page, recalling their persecution, survival, and resistance. Focusing on testimonies from across Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Poland, Hopkinson paints a moving and diverse portrait of the Jewish youth experience in Europe under the shadow of the Third Reich. With archival images and myriad interviews, this compelling and beautifully told addition to Holocaust history not only honors the courage of the victims, but calls young readers to action -- by reminding them that heroism begins with the ordinary, everyday feat of showing compassion toward our fellow citizens.

 

My Take on the Book
The Holocaust is not a topic that I have seen discussed to this extent in a way that young adults would fully understand, but this book does just that. It is amazingly researched and written in a way that young people can understand. The book is powerful and poignant and definitely a book that will open the eyes of anyone that reads it. The stories held within the book are stories of strength and survival. Not all of the stories will be easy to read, but they are ones that need to be read so that what happened in the Holocaust will never happen again. This is a book I highly recommend for all!

Book Review - Separate No More: The Long Road to Brown v. Board of Education

Separate No More: The Long Road to Brown v. Board of Education



About the Book
Critically acclaimed author Lawrence Goldstone offers an affecting portrait of the road to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, which significantly shaped the United States and effectively ended segregation.

Since 1896, in the landmark outcome of Plessy v. Ferguson, the doctrine of "separate but equal" had been considered acceptable under the United States Constitution. African American and white populations were thus segregated, attending different schools, living in different neighborhoods, and even drinking from different water fountains. However, as African Americans found themselves lacking opportunity and living under the constant menace of mob violence, it was becoming increasingly apparent that segregation was not only unjust, but dangerous.

Fighting to turn the tide against racial oppression, revolutionaries rose up all over America, from Booker T. Washington to W. E. B. Du Bois. They formed coalitions of some of the greatest legal minds and activists, who carefully strategized how to combat the racist judicial system. These efforts would be rewarded in the groundbreaking cases of 1952-1954 known collectively as Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, in which the US Supreme Court would decide, once and for all, the legality of segregation -- and on which side of history the United States would stand.

In this thrilling examination of the path to Brown v. Board of Education, Constitutional law scholar Lawrence Goldstone highlights the key trials and players in the fight for integration. Written with a deft hand, this story of social justice will remind readers, young and old, of the momentousness of the segregation hearings.

 

My Take on the Book
This was an amazing book that explored the Brown v. Board of Education case in ways that young adults can understand. Beyond this though I have to say that it was also written in a way that better helped me, as an adult to understand all of the intricacies of the case as well. The book also explored the implications and outcomes that came from the decision and what happened in schools following the decision as well. This was an amazing book that will really open your eyes to this case and allow your kids to truly appreciate the long-standing ramifications from Brown v. Board of Education case.

Book Review - Ground Zero

Ground Zero



About the Book
In time for the twentieth anniversary of 9/11, master storyteller Alan Gratz (Refugee) delivers a pulse-pounding and unforgettable take on history and hope, revenge and fear -- and the stunning links between the past and present.

September 11, 2001, New York City: Brandon is visiting his dad at work, on the 107th floor of the World Trade Center. Out of nowhere, an airplane slams into the tower, creating a fiery nightmare of terror and confusion. And Brandon is in the middle of it all. Can he survive -- and escape?

September 11, 2020, Afghanistan: Reshmina has grown up in the shadow of war, but she dreams of peace and progress. When a battle erupts in her village, Reshmina stumbles upon a wounded American soldier named Taz. Should she help Taz -- and put herself and her family in mortal danger?

Two kids. One devastating day. Nothing will ever be the same.

 

My Take on the Book
Two worlds apart, two young people having their lives changed in ways they could not have expected. While the book is fiction, there are truths that are shared throughout the book which makes the book very powerful. I found that even though it was written for young adults, it was a great read with powerful characters and a plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This is a book you will not want to miss!

Book Review - Rise of ZomBert

Rise of ZomBert



About the Book
Could Bert really be a zombie cat? Two friends put their brains together to find out in a wry new mystery series.

While helping her best friend, Danny, film his latest horror flick, Mellie discovers a scraggly cat behind a dumpster outside the YummCo Foods factory. Mellie names the stray Bert and hides him in her room, knowing her parents won’t let her keep him. But soon Bert has decapitated all her stuffed animals, and before long he is leaving the headless corpses of birds and mice as gifts for her. Danny is convinced the cat is a zombie, living on the brains of his victims. But is that what is really going on? Award-winning author Kara LaReau lets loose a fresh and sharply funny new mystery series, with an irresistible touch of the macabre. Fans of creepy stories and animal lovers alike will devour this fast-moving first episode in one gulp.

 

My Take on the Book
This was a fun story that lets you learn about ZomBert that escaped from a laboratory and was found by Mellie and Danny. The cat is a Zombie Cat and wants to eat the heads of animals and it is Mellie and Danny that has to handle the aftermath of this appetite. On top of this ZomBert is being chased by others and Mollie and Danny have to keep ZomBert safe. This was a fun story for kids and you will want to read the sequel as there is a bit of cliffhanger at the end.

Book Review - Bears and Boos

Bears and Boos



About the Book
The adorable bears are excited to dress up for Halloween — but are there enough costumes for everyone?

Big Brown Bear and the four little bears can’t wait to dress up for Halloween. Everyone grabs their costumes from the costume box, but — oops! — in the rush, Floppy is knocked on her furry behind, and now there are no costumes left for her! Fuzzy says she’s sorry and offers Floppy a golden gown. Then each of the other bears shares an item with Floppy, and soon she’s dressed like a queen — just in time for the parade! Shirley Parenteau and David Walker combine cheerful read-aloud rhyme and irresistibly charming art in another story for the youngest cubs and their big bears.

 

My Take on the Book
This is a ton of fun and just in time for Halloween. Some great friends are heading to a parade. You get to see the bears having to work around to find the things that they need for their costumes. Will the bears find everything that they need in time? The book has many themes about teamwork and it is a great book that is short, but says a lot too about friendship and more.

Book Review - Elvis Puffs Out: A Breaking Cat News Adventure

Elvis Puffs Out: A Breaking Cat News Adventure



About the Book
This just in: your favorite purr-nalists are back and reporting on all of the most pressing cat issues in this third collection of Breaking Cat News comics for middle-grade readers.

Anchor cat Lupin and his faithful field reporters, Elvis and Puck, are as cute and funny as ever in Elvis Puffs Out. There’s no shortage of news to cover this time around: In the wake of a winter snowstorm, the team tries their hand at meteorology (with mixed results). Man and Woman nurse a stranded kitten back to health. And the pessimistic, straight-laced Elvis demonstrates that even he has a soft side.

The fun continues in the “More to Explore” section, with lessons on wooden-spoon puppet theaters, the basics of reporting your own news stories, and—as always—charming paper dolls to craft. 

 

My Take on the Book
If you have never read the books in the Breaking Cat News series, you have been missing out. This is a great fourth book in the series that brings back all of your favorite characters but also some additional new characters too. The plot is a ton of fun and the images draw you in from beginning to end. We loved meeting the kitten that is rescued. The kitten becomes and intern and there are some great stories that commence. My daughter and I found that we loved reading this and by the end we wanted to read it again.

Book Review - We Are Called to Be a Movement

We Are Called to Be a Movement



About the Book

It's time for everyone who cares about the state of our nation to heed the call and join forces to redeem the soul of America.

It's time to come together and renounce the politics of rejection, division, and greed. It's time to lift up the common good, move up to higher ground, and revive the heart of democracy.

In a single, rousing sermon, the celebrated Reverend William J. Barber II of the Poor People’s Campaign makes an impassioned argument whose message could not be clearer: It's time for change, and the time needs you.

 

My Take on the Book
This was a short but powerful book. The pastor in this book has a very strong message that talks about the message of Jesus and what he and God want for the world. The book offers inspiration and motivation to the reader. I recommend this to all!

Don't You Just Hate That? 2nd Edition: 947 of Life's Little Annoyances



About the Book
An obsessive and curated collection of life's little irritations, injustices, grievances, and petty pretensions. Because it's about time someone wrote this stuff down.

It's so annoying:


85. Sitting in a chair that is shorter than everyone else's.

762. That bacon will never be considered a vegetable.

17. Watching a movie with your parents that shows full-frontal nudity.

284. When someone you're not really with breaks up with you.

1. When everything a cynic warns you about ends up happening.


 

My Take on the Book
This is a great book that walk you through little (and big) annoyances. The book will make you laugh like crazy at the lighthearted look at these things in life that are all around us. This is a fun book that you will love reading and sharing with others!

Book Review - The 10 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time: Decoding History's Unsolved Mysteries

he 10 Greatest Conspiracies of All Time: Decoding History's Unsolved Mysteries



About the Book

Master storyteller Brad Meltzer counts down and decodes the world’s top 10 most intriguing conspiracies stories.

Wanted: the truth. In a riveting collection, Brad Meltzer guides us through the 10 greatest conspiracies of all time, from Leonardo da Vinci’s stolen prophecy to the Kennedy assassination. This richly illustrated book serves up those fascinating, unexplained questions that nag at history buffs and conspiracy lovers: Why was Hitler so intent on capturing the Roman “Spear of Destiny?” Where did all the Confederacy’s gold go? What is the government hiding in Area 51? And did Lee Harvey Oswald really act alone?

Meltzer sifts through the evidence, weighs competing theories, separates what we know to be true and what’s still––and perhaps forever––unproved or unprovable, and in the end, decodes the mystery and arrives at the most likely explanation.

 

My Take on the Book
This was such an amazing book. You will be drawn into so many different conspiracies that you will truly learn a ton when you are reading through this book. The book is full of amazing images but it is also full of well researched information that will really make you think in different ways about whether there was a conspiracy or not in the different stories that are found throughout the book. There are stories in this book that you will know, but also ones that will be completely new to you as well. This is an amazing book I highly recommend!

This was a great book that was able to capture the adventure that was seen in the new Phineas and Ferb movie. We loved the story and loved seeing Candace in the lead on this one. The book is a ton of fun. Filled with images and a great story you will love seeing Candace and others battling to save the Earth!

Book Review - Every Penguin in the World: A Quest to See Them All

Every Penguin in the World: A Quest to See Them All



About the Book
“Through powerful stories and beautiful photographs, Every Penguin in the World is a celebration of these delightful birds and a call for their conservation. This is a book of joy, love, and hope for penguins and the world.” —Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Peace

Both a love letter and a call to action, this narrative and photographic book chronicles the author and his wife in their quest to see every penguin species on the planet. In the process, he muses about adventure, conservation, and what it is about penguins that captures our hearts.

Every Penguin in the World tracks author-photographer Charles Bergman's forays around the southern hemisphere--from the Galapagos to South Africa to the Antarctic--in his quest to see all 18 species of penguins in the world. The sections of the book are organized around themes of adventure, science and conservation, and pilgrimage--in which stories of each penguin species will be touched upon.

This endearing and thought-provoking book beautifully combines narrative and photography to capture the plight and the experience of penguins worldwide. The author and his wife developed a passion after seeing their first penguin species and have since spent years traveling far and wide to see each variety of penguin in its natural habitat.

 

My Take on the Book
If you love penguins you will love this book. It was filled with amazing images but also made you think deeply about the plight of the penguin. The highlight of the book were the amazing photos throughout the book of so many different varieties of penguins. The book takes you on a true adventure, allowing you to explore the world where penguins live. You learn about their communities and about the species as a whole. In the end this book is an amazing one that you will keep coming back to. You will also want to keep sharing this with others too. Highly recommend this book to all!

Book Review - Spring Stinks

Spring Stinks



About the Book
Ruth the bunny is excited to share the smelly springtime smells of spring with Bruce!

But what will Bruce think of all that stink?

This Little Bruce Book is perfect of fans of the best-selling Mother Bruce series.

 

My Take on the Book
If you have enjoyed Bruce and his friends in the past this will be another one that you will love. The book is full of amazing illustrations but also a fun story about the smells of spring and what some like and what some love and what Bruce does not like (of course). This is a short, fun book that a young reader will love!
