The frazzled little bird jumps as the bell rings once again! They’ve had enough! They’re about to launch into a tirade when the mail delivery supervisor explains that their assistant, tortoise has made “a few mistakes.”
REVIEW: Elephant’s Music
As a former music teacher, I love the message here, but the illustrations are the real star. Bright and colorful and witty, little kids will love looking at the animals and which instruments they choose.
REVIEW: Courageous First Ladies Who Changed the World
Each two-page spread features a quote from the featured first lady, and a little about their life. The book is full of rah rah feminist bites.

In this moving story based on actual events, this is exactly what we see. The story of a friendship that brings together two unlikely subjects, a man and a mule. They become fast friends and spend time together enjoying one another’s company and sharing special moments.

From the witty title, to the delightful endpapers, The Pocket Chaotic is a charming story about becoming independent and growing up.
REVIEW: Round
Ward explains round through the use of objects and things found in nature. The story is simple to follow, clear and concise and told in a way that young children can easily relate to and internalize.
