Drones (True Book) by Katie Marsico

I gave this book a 4/5 stars because the information it presented was good quality information. The information along with the real pictures of what drones look like really helps the reader imagine what a drone is like in real life. Not only is the information good, but the book is simple and easy to follow so I could read this with many ages.

Beastly Monsters: From Dragons to Griffins (Monster Mania) by Katie Marsico

*Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

This book was so much fun to read. Kids love the photos and references to monsters in pop culture. It keeps their attention and really gives them something to ponder about! It covers legends, the making of monsters, facts, and myths. Draw your own conclusions!

Puget Sound (Explorer Library: Social Studies Explorer) by Katie Marsico

Puget Sound is an informational book on the estuary located in northwestern Washington state. Having never heard of Puget Sound, I was interested in learning what it was, I originally believed it was a type of sound wave. I found this book to very helpful in understanding the importance of Puget Sound and what it means to all that live near it. I also enjoyed the historical background provided for Puget Sound, explaining it's cultural significance in a way that the reader can easily show more understand. The book even delves into how the area is being polluted and suggests ways the reader and tourists can help preverve Puget Sound. The pictures provided in this book to show the beauty of Puget Sound do their job, enticing the reader to want to visit. Overall I enjoyed this book. show less
