Welcome to Litsy!

First up for my #GNReadathon are 2 of the bad kitty graphic novels. I have a fondness for black cats because of my cat Chipper 🐈‍⬛ and I read some of these board books to Jace and thought they were funny. So I grabbed these 2 from the library. As a cat lover there is lots to relate to here about cats not wanting to take a bath 😆 These are great for kids 8+. 4⭐️

“We are both equally… NOT scared?”

This is a silly book that would be fun for young children to read to introduce them to chapter books.

Pizza and Taco: Dare to be Scared! by Stephen Shaskan (2013) is a silly graphic novel that is sure to have kids laughing! Pizza and Taco are a pair of best friends who try to be brave and prove it to each other. Shaskan uses the graphica format for these books and it is a fun way to introduce chapter books to young children.

This was a cute but not amazing easy chapter book about a very spoiled princess who adopts a pig for her birthday - except the pig comes with a pig boy who isn't very impressed by the princess's princessiness haha The drawings were the best part. Soft pick. (i.e. 3.5* It was okay 😂)

I'm a sucker for kids' books from the 50s and 60s, but this one was a dud. I don't mind a young character being kind of not-smart/ignorant so that the reader can learn alongside of them, but the girl in this book was so stupid that I worried for her overall survival into adulthood. I think it was supposed to be funny? But it was just annoying lol

I'm taking my just turned 9 year old to Barnes and Noble today to spend the birthday $ he got from the grands, and as luck would have it my IRS refund hit the bank today. So I need all the recommendations. Prefer mysteries and sci-fi and travel memoirs. I love long series I can really sink my teeth into. Don't care for romance or domestic thrillers, but I'm pretty open to anything else. Hit me up with everything you love!

These four Berenstain Bear Scouts chapters are in one binding for us. Having read through each other the last month with my son has been quite fun. I hadn't read the chapter versions before and enjoyed longer storylines with themes of problem solving, and bigger picture issues of morals than what we can find in the picture book versions. This specific story encourages us to do the right thing with the understanding that you can't claim...
