Oscar and Emmy Weather a HurricaneOscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane by Terri Sabol
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Want to learn about how to weather a hurricane? Oscar & Emmy live through one and tell us what it’s like. Also there’s information at the back of the book on actual hurricanes and then how to get through them. There’s also a pet disaster kit list at the back which I found interesting and useful. I think people will like this one, especially young children who are starting to read.

Loris Opens Up His Heart, Courage Tales Series, Dagmara Sitek, Review, Itsy Bitsy Book Bits, Kids, Family

Loris Opens Up His HeartLoris Opens Up His Heart by Dagmara Sitek
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I loved this. It’s about a child who is lost and unhappy and how the simple hand of friendship can make the world of difference to how a child is feeling. It’s about kids showing bravery and strength, it tells us how children should behave and will help children talk about how they are feeling. It’s aimed at young children but the message portrayed in it can be for anyone of any age to take note of.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I liked this, it was really easy to read and the pictures are so colourful! Mr. Bonbon is determined to find out who his third is so he sets up his plan and just has to wait for them to try again. Thus is aimed at primary school age and teaches valuable lessons they won’t soon forget. I’ve read a few by this author now and I haven’t been disappointed yet!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really liked this one, I’ve read the previous ones by this author and this one didn’t disappoint! It follows Rusty as he continues to share a room with Granddad who sadly has Alzheimers. Rusty is desperate to find out where Granddad found the magic brass ring he has but can’t get a straight answer out of him. Rusty does whatever he can to ride on the Christmas carousel in the shopping centre and goes on some epic adventures. Will he learn from his adventures where this mysterious magical brass ring came from? Read it and find out! Highly recommend this and anything this author writes, loved it!
