GOODREADS REVIEWS:
Gina From Siberia by Jane BernsteinMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a charming book about moving to a new home - in a new country. It's a lightly-told immigration story shared through the eyes of the family dog. The lovely artwork tells the story that the little dog doesn't - of the poverty being left behind, the sparsity of the new home, and the eventual settling of the family into their new city. This book will make a wonderful introduction story to start the conversation with more complex picture book titles on immigration and refugees such as Francesca Sanna's THE JOURNEY.
A Boy and a House by Maja KastelicMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this gorgeously illustrated picture book with a mystery, mysterious cat, comical mice, tributes hidden throughout, and a happy ending. Fans of well-illustrated, well-storied picture books will love A A BOY AND A HOUSE!
Edison: The Mystery of the Missing Mouse Treasure by Torben KuhlmannMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Torben has done it again. Readers will dive (sorry) into this sumptuously illustrated tale of a young inventor and adventurer!
