Alexandria’s Book Review: Strangers on the High Seas
Childrens Book Review: Strangers on the High Seas
by Alexandria Battle
Carole P. Roman used to teach, before her business sense kicked in and inspired her to start a family business with her husband. After doing that successfully for many years, she decided to give authoring a book a try too! Good thing she did–this month’s book is fourth in the series she started, and she’s got even more wonderful stories planned.
Mr. Lincolns Way – Alexandria’s Book Review
Book Review: Mr. Lincolns Way
By Alexandra Battle
Patricia Polacco was born in Lansing, Michigan, and lived a long time both there and in Oakland, California. Even now the most influential presences in her life have been that of her grandparents—and she pays tribute to that by including a strong bond between a child and an elderly person in each of her children’s books.
I had some trouble finding a book this month, and would never have found this wonderful one if not for my mom, to whom I’m extremely grateful. It has a great story and message, and the art’s not too bad either!
Mr. Lincoln is the best principal ever, without a doubt. No strictness and off-putting attitude from him—he interacts with all of his students, from kindergarten up to sixth grade. Everyone gets his time of day, and even his time after the day is done. The teachers like him; the parents really like him; and the kids adore him.
Alexandria’s Book Review: Froggy’s Worst Playdate
Book Review: Froggy’s Worst Playdate
Jonathan London lives in California, and is an author many times over; this adventure of Froggy’s is neither his first nor his last. London started with three picture books in 1992 and went on very successfully from there. He draws his ideas from dreams and his own imagination—a guy after my own heart!
About Froggy’s Worst Playdate
This is another book I found at the library—unlike the last, it was a bit harder to find, but worth it once I did. Since it’s part of a series as well, I feel as though I’ve struck the jackpot again! Froggy’s adventures from a glance seem fun enough to follow for a while to come.
