Lots & Lots of Really Big Trains: Giants on the Rails!
The prime audience is three to five years old, but other enthusiasts will certainly be entertained and enjoy learning how trains operate. A good addition to public library or school library collections.
Lots & Lots of Trucks Songs for Kids: Sing-a-long Truck Fun!
This DVD is a standalone addition to the series for public library or school library collections.
The Murderer's Ape
This is a beautifully written book with exceptional narration. Fans of Lemony Snickett's A Series of Unfortunate Events will enjoy meeting Sally Jones.
Wave: A True Story of Hip Hop
While this film provides an interesting look at one hip-hop icon's rise to fame and his views on grassroots leadership, it does not provide a comprehensive overview of hip-hop.
Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir: Be Miraculous
Positive messages and minimal violence make this suitable for younger audiences. A fun addition to public library collections.
The Reader
This best-selling debut is sure to keep readers clamoring for the second installment in the "Sea of Ink and Gold" series.
Craft in America: Teachers
A great addition to public libraries with homeschooled populations as well as to school libraries. It also has a multicultural component, as the episode highlights several Native crafts.
The Rose & the Dagger
Recommended for libraries where the first book is popular in audio. For others, this may be best in print form. ["A first purchase, especially for fans of lush retellings": SLJ 5/16 review of the Putnam book.]
H.E.A.R
Limited character development and occasional plot stagnancy keep this book from earning a glowing review, but it will appeal to teens and adults who are fascinated by the possibility of ESP. ["The flawed characters, unlikely alliances, and fast plot twists make this volume a page-turner that will have readers anticipating a sequel": SLJ 11/15 review of the Soho Teen book.]
