What the Road Said by Cleo Wade
A book that is getting a lot of press right now is What the Road Said by Cleo Wade. I was interested but not in an OMG I have to find it. The other day it came across my desk and I gave it a look. My first thought was that it was a cool cover. It was simple, the road is centered, and I was getting a pleasant eye image to start with. I was not sure if I was going to like it […]
The King's Beast vol. 1 by Rei Toma
This one is also something I decided on for Valentine’s Day, but I’m a little late in getting the review done; I saw a teaser chapter posted online and I figured why not?

The Secret Rhino Society by Jonathan E. Jacobs
The Legend of King Arthur-A-Tops by Mo O’Hara
I was in a bit of a reading slump but realized that it was because I was not reading the right books. I was trying to read novels and was in the mindset for picture books.

Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse by T. L. McBeth
I was looking at the description of the book Randy, the Badly Drawn Horse. All it says is “Title has strikethrough on “badly drawn.” Is this all that T. L. McBeth’s book is?

It does not mention that Randy tells the story or the fact that Randy is well, less than a traditional looking horse […]
Where the Dragons Live by Serena Geddes
Where the Dragons Live is a sequel to another Serena Geddes book called Rosie and Rasmus. The dragon Rasmus says goodbye to Rosie, journeys to the land of dragons (the Island of Dragons to be precise) and cannot wait to make new friends. The problem is Rasmus is not like the other dragons. They roar, play rough, little mean, are big and tall, breath fire and tell him he is not a real dragon. But then again, what is a real dragon? And Rasmus learns […]
