Diane's review of How to Eat Pizza
4/5: Everyone knows how to eat pizza, right? But what happens when you choose a pizza slice and it doesn’t want to be eaten? “Now, hold on a minute! You’re planning to eat me? Me?!” Are you really sure you want to eat its crusty bottom? (See the crack?) Why not have one of the other slices instead? Or an onion? Or broccoli? A humorous story that students should have a lot of fun with. Could be a fun kickoff lesson for writing…

Diane's review of Facts vs. Opinions vs. Robots
5/5: ‘You see, when we respect the opinions of others, we can all get along.” This would be a great read aloud for students to begin to understand the differences between fact and opinion, when they are learning how to do research (looking for facts, not opinions) and when they are starting to write their opinion papers. I also like that the text talks about if you don’t have enough information to know if it’s a fact or an opinion, you need to…

Diane's review of What Can a Citizen Do?
5/5: "So forget yourself for a second. Grab a shovel or a pen. Do something for another. Don't you dare doubt that you can!" "A citizen's not what you are -- a citizen is what you do." Such a great book to help explain citizenship to kids.
Diane's review of How to Make Friends with a Ghost
3/5: “If you’re a person who is sweet, warm and kind, a ghost may come out and find you.” This handy guide will tell you how to care for a ghost if one finds you. There are: Ghost Basics, Ghost Care (including feeding, activities and bedtime), and Growing Together. As you grow older, your ghost never ages. But when a ghost finds you, “you’ll be friends even after the end.” Interesting writing.
Diane's review of A Field Guide to Getting Lost
5/5: Sutton is very scientifically minded, realistic and logical. She loves robotics and is a budding coder. She is currently trying to program her robot so that it can travel quickly through a maze. It's all that she's focused on, really. She is currently living with Dad because her mother is in Antarctica studying penguins. Sutton is trying to maintain a positive appearance, but she's hurting that her mother won't be back for her birthday. And she's not sure about the fact that…
Diane's review of How to Grow a Dinosaur
5/5: "You're the perfect one to teach that baby EVERYTHING." There's definitely a learning curve to having a new baby dinosaur around the house. What can babies do? They're too young to play. How can you help the baby learn? Peek-a-boo is good. Roaring is good (as long as you do it softly.) How do you know what the baby wants? You have to do a lot of guessing. And don't forget, that baby is watching every move you make and copying what…
Diane's review of What Do You Do If You Work at the Zoo?
5/5: “Zookeepers also have more unusual responsibilities. You might find yourself playing games with a monkey, imitating a vulture, weighing a snake ... even tickling a tapir.” This book gives a lot of interesting information in a very kid friendly format. There is also additional information in the back to extend the reader’s knowledge on the different animals highlighted and zoos, in general. As always, the illustrations are wonderful.
Diane's review of How to Find a Fox
5/5: A little girl is so intent on finding a fox that she misses what's going on around her. "Be sure to look for fox tracks. They're like dog tracks, but sneakier."
