Misadventures of Salem Hyde

Spelling Trouble (The Misadventures of Salem Hyde, #1) by  Frank Cammuso Calvin & Hobbes + magic with a girl lead = this adorable book. So Cute! Would be perfect for my own 8 year old reluctant reader if I could get her to TRY it. (Sigh) - Miss Kelly #GraphicNovels #Fantasy #Elementary #Humor #MiddleGrade

Mythology for the littlest readers

Image
Mini Myths: Don't Get Lost, Odysseus! (Mini Myths)  by Joan Holub , Leslie Patricelli (Illustrations)   Accurate re-tellings of Mythology these stories are NOT. Super-cute and wonderful Board Books anyway? Why, yes! Yes they are!  Using the names and the core element of a classic Greco-Roman mythological tale, these Mini Myths talk to pre-schoolers. Odysseus gets lost, Pandora touches something she shouldn't, Icarus isn't careful. These tales are couched in terms the little ones understand. Then, at the back, a more accurate summary of the actual tale is given, again at kid level. HIGHLY recommend this super stinking cute series.  ALSO: diverse cast and characters through the series  #BoardBooks #FamilyTies #StoriesReimagined #WeNeedDiverseBooks
