Hey everyone, this is my 4th review, 'The Pig in the Pond' by Martin Waddell. Essentially, this story is about Farmer Neligan's pig. It is a very warm day at the farm and the pig becomes agitated when he sees the ducks and geese keeping cool in the water. As the title of the story suggests the pig jumps into...

~• Il drago di Bronzo è un libro di fantascienza scritto ai suoi esordi da Marion Zimmer Bradley. Come saprete è un'autrice che ho molto amato nel ciclo di Avalon, ma questo libricino non è riuscito a rapirmi. Un po' il problema forse sta nel genere letterario che io non amo particolarmente (a meno...

Part of a set of 12 phonics books published in 2006 by Usborne. What I like about this early set is that the books very much focus on a particular phonics sound and rhyme throughout the book rather than lots of different rhymes like the later books. They are quick and easy to read in the entire set in a sitting.

Painful first half saved by some acceptable action in the second.

Let's start with the obvious: Mr. Lebaron is simply not a very good author. I have read Fanfiction that surpassed this book in characterization and tone.

The world is shallow and uninteresting, the characters are paper-thin...
