Angel and Granny: The Broken Winged Butterfly by Doreen Linda
Funk
Genre: Children's Picture Book
Source: I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
This is a beautiful story about change. Angel is a young
girl who is meeting her grandmother for the first time. Angel wasn’t sure about
spending time with her grandmother. Her grandmother was a bug scientist, and
Angel didn’t like bugs. A special delivery to granny’s house changed all of
that. With Granny’s help with her science fair project, Angel learns all about
painted lady butterflies. In the process
she frees her thinking about bugs, much like a butterfly frees itself from its
chrysalis. It is wonderful to watch things change and grow. Often children
don’t see that they, like butterflies must change and grow. Beautiful pictures
and so much to learn. I really enjoyed this book. I learned so much more about
the process of metamorphosis.

Clive the Clever Crow – Sandra Novello
Genre: children's Picture Books

Clive is a very clever crow. He eats what is left out for
him. In each page of the book you need to find where Clive is hiding. Look
closely because he is a very clever crow.

Hissy Fitz by Patrick Jennings
Genre: Upper Elementary/Middle Grade, Adventure
Source: I won a copy form Kids Buzz. The opinions expressed here are my own.
Hissy Fitz is a house cat. He has several humans he lives with. He loves to cuddle with Georgie, but she won’t stop talking. Abe talks to Hissy through a sock puppet. Then there is the terror of the house, Zeb. He is Abe’s twin. He is hyper to the point of being aggressive. Hissy Fitz can’t seem to get any sleep. He roams the town paying visits to his friends. He is becoming exhausted. Will he ever get the rest he needs? This was a cute book by the author of “Guinea Dog”. I know my students are going to love this one.
