(Alex, the Inventor) by Lois Wickstrom – Review by Jenni Bishop
Alex hears the balloon flowers in her yard making noises.
Are they talking to her? She invents a plant translator so she can talk to her plants. Soon she and the flowers are planning a party. What do plants want to do at a party?
Lois is a former science teacher. She has written a series of science-based folktales. In each modernized tale, the protagonist achieves a better ending because of learning scientific principles. Lois likes to garden, ride her bike with her husband, cook, and she votes in every election.

Like the vocabulary- from the idiom “faint of heart” to “homo sapiens” to settlement to cluster to monstrosity, which is refreshing for a book I would target towards preschoolers and younger. The book would be a joy to read to a young audience because it is told through different animal voices.
The story reminded me of Just So Stories, telling who humans stand and have hands. As an adult, I appreciated both the cuteness of the book as well as the funny regurgitated children from the school bus scene.

This book was another great story written by Lois Wickstrom. It was a classic story but with a twist. A Mother and daughter was struggling to get seeds to make a garden. The daughter traded her cow for 3 magic beans. The world building and characters was good. The illustration matched the wording and had some colors.
This is the beginning of a fabulous new series! The characters are amazing. Secret societies, and special schools. There are siblings, friends, foes, and loved ones. I love the way the author set up the next installment. I read this on my Kindle, but now I’m going to have to get a hard copy for my classroom.

E. Padgett – Review by Alison Risher
People Safari is a fun and whimsical book told from the perspective of wildlife animals. A group of animals, including a deer family, are taken on a tour by their Tour Guide who is a racoon to observe people in their natural habitat. While on tour they learn the peculiar habits of humans who throw away a lot of perfectly good food, grow gardens full of delicious vegetables the animals are chased away from, and allow their small humans to be swallowed up by large, yellow beasts. Oh, and where do they go to the bathroom? This was a delightful read that was funny, witty, and informative. The illustrations are bright, colorful, and really brought this story to life. Although geared towards younger children this is a fun book for all ages to read. I highly recommend this informative and entertaining book about animals and how they perceive humans.

I enjoyed reading this middle school story. It is a story that has a twist of suspense to it. A story that is well written and one that any middle schooler would enjoy. Frank and Jon both have some talents that could just get them in trouble. They are sent to a school that is for the gifted and they hope that this will be better for them. Jon finds himself being suspected of stealing a relic. Will the crime get solved before Jon gets expelled? I enjoyed how they pulled me into their story. They all have great growth throughout. This is an easy story to read and entertaining as well. This is a great story that I highly recommend.

E. Padgett – Review by Bobbi Wagner
People Safari by Feather Chelle is a cute and fun illustrated children’s adventure story. Written with plenty of witty humour really made for quite an entertaining read. This is a safari story with a difference though, as it is told/shown from the animal’s perspective as they ‘tour’ a town full of people, and we get to see our way of life in a different light, as the animals observe the humans as they go about their daily lives. This is a fairly long story, but with plenty of bright, colourful, and interesting illustrations sprinkled through the book which really help the story come to life. Join Ranger Marco, the raccoon guide, as he takes the other animals on this fun safari. This is sure to please the children in your life, or the young at heart. Happy Reading…

5/5 Stars This is a well written book that is excellent for a younger audience. It’s very easy to read and understand. As an adult, I didn’t feel like I was reading something ridiculous. It’s a great read and I really enjoyed the story.

This was a very interesting book. I enjoyed it very much. I think it gave a very accurate presentation of what some kids go through when they start a new school, especially if they are just a little bit different. I also liked the story line about Silas’ grandfather’s struggle with Alzheimer’s. The accurate portrayal of the struggle that families face when a loved one is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s was very good. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has felt alone as I think it will give them hope and comfort.
This is a great story for late elementary and early middle school kiddos. I loved the messages throughout this book. We read it together as a family and talked about bullying and standing up for what is right. For reference, my kids are 7 and 11, and I think that age frame is spot on. Both of my kids are also the smaller ones in their classes which made this even more relatable for them. I enjoyed the illustrations, and the flow of this story was great. What a great way to get people talking about fairness, friendships, and fitting in!

People Safari is a fun story told by animals and their perspective of human life. It will make you laugh out loud at their perusals. It is easy to dive into the story with the bright and colourful illustrations by Pandu Permana that bring Feather Chelle’s words to life. Children between the ages of 5 – 10 years and even adults will delight in this refreshing tale where a deer family and their raccoon guide take an up close and personal look into scientific behaviours of the humankind. An excellent book for special occasions.
This story is pure fun and absolutely wonderful. I have read many books from this author and this story is one of my favorite. How can you describe what a monster truly is? Meg’s big sister, Sue, tries to explain to Meg all about monsters and they can be scary. With each detail Sue has Meg goes along and understands all while being visually impaired. That does not stop Meg for sure to know all about monsters!!
This book is wonderful wonderful wonderful. I very highly recommend everyone of all ages to definitely read this. The illustrations are great and just the story itself and the message…truly fantastic!

Silas is the new kid at school, and if that isnt terrifying enough, he is much smaller than the other kids in his grade. Even after all the horror stories about 6th grade that his grandfather has told him, Silas is still pretty open minded about it all. Even Silas’ teachers do not believe he is 11 years old, and he is removed from his English class on the first day! Not long after starting school, Silas becomes the target of the class bully…but he also starts making friends. When Chad (the bully) runs for class president, Silas knows he can not let him win. This gave me very David and Goliath vibes, in a way. The characters in this book are full of behaviors and attitudes that are realistic. As a mother of a sixth grader, I enjoyed this story as it gave me some insight into the real life struggles of acceptance that we seen in our real lives this year. This story about acceptance and middle school behaviors hit home, and I will have my son read it as he prepares for 7th grade! Reviewed By @zoltrixes

I found this to be a delightful view of people from the animal’s POV. It makes you wonder… The pictures are colorful and it’s an entertaining and thoughtful story. Ranger Marco has to be my favorite. I love his descriptions of people and the towns. All of the descriptions are quite intriguing and done to be fun for the young ones. A wonderful book that will be added to our home library.
This is a great children’s story. It is a story that is full of friendship and fun. A story of standing up for others and how an unexpected friendship will change the story. I enjoyed how colorful and engaging the pictures are. The characters are fun and give life to the story. This is a story that will keep any child engaged and teach them friendship. A story that would be great for any child. An entertaining story. I highly recommend this book

With a fresh perspective on human behavior, as seen by a deer family and their raccoon guide, this book will get you thinking like an animal scientist and have you laughing, as well. Not only are these musings fun, but they just might bring us closer to the natural world and deepen our respect for it, making us better stewards of our environment in the future
Feather Chelle is a single mother, living in Texas with her children, two grandpuppies and a grandpiggy (guinea pig). She is totally blind, due to a battle with Retinoblastoma and enjoys homeschooling with her family. She loves to teach and has been writing since the first grade, starting out on her grandma’s old typewriter, although her first book was not published until the very end of 2020. The pandemic forced her to slow down from many activities, and she decided to use some of her newly discovered spare time to focus on publishing some books that she had written throughout the years. To date, she has managed to publish seven books, and there are over twenty more books in various stages of production. Her goal is to create fun and engaging books that also educate.
Japan is the third book in the Tally and the Angel series by Eleanor Dixon. As this story continues the adventure we started in book one, following Tally and her angel Jophiel, I really recommend reading the first two books before starting on this one. We met Tally back in Book One, when she inherited a rather intriguing necklace when her mother died. The necklace came with a life-changing surprise- as it housed an Angel, Jophiel. Together they have embarked on several adventures, all over the world. And in this instalment, we are whisked off to Japan. Where they soon found themselves thrust on another adventure that involves unearthing the origins of an ancient curse. This is a fun Middle school age children’s story- an urban fantasy with Angels, paranormal elements, action, adventure, mysteriousness, history, drama, danger, travel, a race against time, friendship, family, secrets, Japanese culture and traditions, challenges, and much more. This story may be aimed at a younger audience, but I feel it could be enjoyed by all ages. Happy reading.

Today, at my scouts meeting, I had a long talk with a Scout about bravery. We talked about how we can still feel scared and yet still be brave. I immediately thought of this book and we talked about all types of forms of bravery. It was definitely a core moment for me and I loved hearing it all from an amazing 11 year old.
I love finding books that I can share with my children, and this book did not disappoint. I found myself sharing snippets of the stories with other kids in my family and now in Scout group. My daughter and I love reading together before bed and we tried to relish this book as much as possible. I know we will revisit it again.

This beautiful book (the stories and the illustrations) offers a series of short stories dealing with big emotions and situations including tragic losses, facing fears, having confidence, meeting those who look, speak or have customs different than you, dealing with neurodivergency, those with special needs, and more. It’s a beautiful way to teach courage, acceptance, coping mechanisms and more.
There were a lot of inspiring stories and good conversations with my kids about what certain story aspects may mean and a lot of wheels turning in little heads. This is a beautiful way to spend some time together and get some important topics out in the open and appropriate either for independent readers or as an opportunity for sharing these beautiful stories together with your kids.

Sue tells her younger sister, Meg, that monsters are scary and tries to prank her by explaining what frightening qualities they have. Meg, who is blind, asks lots of questions using her other senses to better understand what her sister thinks is so scary.
This book is a wonderful way to give kids a way to understand that other people experience things differently than you do – and a great way to encourage different points of view and maybe a bit of courage in the face of something scary. Bright, fun illustrations add to the experience for young kids. A fun read together!

This story takes Tally and her father to Japan. When Tally lost her mother, she gained an Angel and he has been with her ever since. As Tally and her father explore Japan Tally finds herself with a mystery to solve. It was nice to see Tally encounter some of the Japanese culture. Tally is a smart and inquisitive young lady; I liked the way she listens and discovers the many Japanese customs. Tally learns many lessons on her travels and adventures and it is nice to see the way she matures through her journeys. Life is full of challenges and Tally takes them full on. This is an engaging read that pulls the reader in. Tally’s adventures are a great way to introduce different customs and lives to young readers as well as giving them an exciting story to immerse themselves in.

It was so nice to read about these characters again and the adventures they go on. I enjoy each book they are part of and never hesitate to start a new one. This book is just as good as the others. It was exciting and fun to read. I think the characters of this book are fun and entertaining. This series is the only one I have read by this author but I am definitely going to explore more of her work. I am enjoying this series immensely and I hope to read more.

Starting middle school is hard enough.. Being the new kid is even harder.. Starting middle school as the new kid who is also different.. Well, the odds are against you. Silas is determined not to let it get him down, though! If ever there was a tale of perseverance, this just happens to be it! This fast-paced read takes you on the rollercoaster that is middle school life. It is relatable and takes you on a ride of emotions. Silas and his grandfather have a beautiful relationship. All in all, this is a fun little read for preteens!

In Book two of Tally and the Angel they are off to Canada to continue the adventures her and her sidekick, Jophiel, started in book one. In the first book Tally met an angel named Jophiel who was contained in a necklace that she inherited. This book is geared towards pre-teens, in the 9-13 years of age category, but is a fun read for all ages.
In her latest adventure Tally finds herself in Whitehorse where the temperatures are at minus 25 degrees centigrade. Her dad has booked them a holiday at a retreat where they can learn how to cross the tundra with a team of sled dogs. Tally immediately notices how cold it is when her nose hairs freeze up so Tally and her dad have to learn to dress for the weather. This requires layering up on their clothing in order to stay warm. They then set off across the snowy tundra in search of adventure but get more than they bargained for when Tally’s dad is injured.
He is taken to a small, remote village to heal where the villagers do not leave because of an ancient curse. Tally’s dad is now in imminent danger and only Tally and Jophiel can save him by battling against Both earthbound and mythical creatures like gold hunters and mystical wolves. Tally is in a life-or-death situation as races against time to save her dad and rid the village of the ancient curse.
This book was wonderfully written with a great storyline, descriptive scenes, and amazing characters. The scenes were described so vividly that it immerses you into that place. Right down to describing frozen nose hairs with the cold temperatures. I understand completely how that feels because I live in a part of Canada where temperatures can sometimes get to minus forty degrees centigrade over the winter months. What a shock it must have been for Tally to go from India to the Yukon, yikes! The author did a fantastic job of describing the climate, the Yukon, and sled dogs. Tally and Jophiel both really grow as characters and the bond between them starts to forge as they spend more time together. Tally learns to be courageous in the face of danger in order to save her dad. This book was full of danger, suspense, mystery, action, and adventure as Tally went up against both real and mythical beings. A great read for all ages.

In the third book in the Tally and the Angel series, Tally, her dad, and her angel Jophiel, set off for Japan. Twelve-year-old Tally quickly gets wrapped up in an adventure involving some new Japanese friends. Japan makes for an amazing backdrop as Tally is faced with numerous challenges that include a cursed drum, a ghostly queen, mythical beings, samurai warriors, and long-buried secrets. While she is busy trying to solve mysteries her sidekick angel, Jophiel seems to be a bit distracted by a mysterious Japanese angel who may or may not have the have the answer about the curse from long ago. Tally becomes in a race against time, and she must be brave if she is to solve the mystery. She also must decide if she trusts her new friends.
This was a beautifully written book that immerses the reader into the modern world of Japan as well as its history, culture, and ancient traditions. As Tally becomes immersed in the culture of Japan, we are able to learn of its ancient traditions such as sumo wrestling, taiko drumming, and tea ceremonies. We learn how strong and courageous young Tally is as she tries to solve the mystery surrounding Miyu and Yoshi. Through her adventure Tally learns about friendship, trust, and bravery. This book is full of danger, suspense, mystery, intrigue, drama, and paranormal elements. A perfect addition to any pre-teen’s library.

Fee, Fi, Fo, Grow is a recreation of Jack and the Bean Stalk. Jacqueline is a little girl living with her mother and they have a hard time finding food. They own a cow named Bessie and decide to sell her so they can eat. On the way to market, Jacqueline trades for some seeds. Well, as you probably know the seeds grow overnight into a huge stalk with a Giant couple living at the top. The wife is very nice and wants to help the little girl out, while the husband wants to eat her. He chased her and then said he would wait for her to come back because she was bringing his wife beans. Jaqueline sneakily brought the wife beans and got a basket of golden eggs in return, which now makes her and her mother rich. This book is a Science Folktale but I didn’t feel it taught as much as in the other stories the author has written. I thought this one explained how growing food is profitable for the sustainability of life, but how one goes about was fiction. One could take a deeper meaning from it where when you are at your lowest, there are times that your luck can change for the better. Sometimes you just have to take a chance on something that seems unrealistic.
A Monster for Meg is about a girl who wants to understand why monsters are so scary. Meg is blind so she has her sister start to describe the scariness of a monster. The funny thing is Meg doesn’t find it so scary because everything being described reminds her of something her sister already does. It was a cute book. I like how they made it that just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean you can’t experience something. Also, the fact that although you may not see it doesn’t mean it is scary. It was a cute, inclusive take on a childhood fear for many.
