Liam adores this, it's hard to give up the library copy. The mixture of colourful pages and interesting textures bring him back again and again. There's an easy game of spot the mouse one each page that he's just started to get the hang of.

This is an adorable, touching, really good book about a London cat named Alfie who fancies himself taking care of human problems, even while dealing with his own. The book is novel-length and it deals well with true, difficult problems: both people & pet. I love Alfie! I loved his kitten and all his friends. I’ll go out of my way to read more Alfie books.

We just love this series! We never, ever, get tired of reading it again and again!

In each book the little white mouse is looking for his doggy, reindeer, dinosaur, monkey, bunny, train or lion that seems to be always lost. But before finding it he has to pass for many wrong ones, maybe because its paws are too soft, or its ears too velvety, or the tail too hairy. And you can actually touch them to check they really are! The text is easy and repetitive, so the kids quickly are able to "read" show more it, and its full of tasty words like bumpy, squashy and fluffy, that are always funny for them to say.

A cute, cute, cute series for toddlers.

Mysteries, secrets, psychics, and witches all come together to create a tale that is truly "Enchanted."

Mandy is moving to York Beach, Maine to be near her Nana in her senior year. Blending into her environment and not causing notice to herself is how she would like it, but unforeseen rumors and secrets from the past surface making this way of going through life impossible. New friendships, romance, and mystery keep her life everything but uneventful. Come follow her story as she learns and show more grows from the links of the past (Thanks to Nana) and creates new beginnings for her future.

I really enjoyed this tale by RAchel Wells. I think she did a wonderful job from beginning to end in description, characterization, and just the all-around story. Mandy is a very easy character to get to know and I could totally relate to her in trying to stay out of the spotlight and just wanting evreything to go smoothly. That is so me and Ms. Wells captured those feelings and put them on paper perfectly. When I can personally relate and feel the emotions, it makes the story all that much better!

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys YA paranormal romance.
