I see appealing similarities to the works of Mercer Mayer and Ezra Jack Keats in And I Mean It, Stanley, and that's a positive for any children's book. Featuring two narratives occupying the frame at the same time (a girl talking to her unseen friend, and an alley cat stalking an elusive bird), this book...

This book is sexist. Yes, I understand that the girls are proving (in the background) that the boys are wrong, but I'm afraid that message might be too subtle and can't compete with the boys' repeated assertions that girls are incapable of camping or being unafraid. Where did these little misogynists-in-training...

Our favorite pals are back in this, the fourteenth book of the series.

Cooking with the Cat by Bonnie Worth (Dr. Seuss, wya?) is a novel that depicts two children as they let a mysterious cat into their home and allow it to bake up a batch of cupcakes with them. I found this book's plot to be weirdly disturbing, as the cat's arrival had no context and the children added random,...

Decent. Obviously a part of the Disney Princesses line "for girls". Teaches kids what it means to be a princess. Couldn't help but remember Lady Diana's statement that "being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be" as I put this one down, though. Anyway, it's for kids. Still better than that Star Wars...
