Bug Juice by Diane Macioce


Bug Juice by Diane Macioce is an absolutely wonderful choice for toddlers and beginning readers.
From ants to worms, the author uses colorful rhyme to engage the young reader and even provoke a few giggles along the way.

Illustrator Larisa Anghelon brings the rhyme to life with her bright and happy artwork that can make anyone smile. Each insect's happy face makes the book even more fun to read, if that's even possible!

The simple writing style is perfect for beginning readers and the fun, smiling bugs are sure to keep their interest and keep them coming back . For a fun read about ants going bezerk and burping crickets, I highly recommend Bug Juice by Diane Macioce.

Author Spotlight.........Joshua Smith


I have received many requests for reviews, however there is one in particular that stood out. I received a request from a gentleman named Craig Smith to take a look at his son's work. I was extremely surprised and impressed to hear that his son, Joshua, is just 9 years old.




Joshua has been writing and illustrating books since the first grade and has written 26 books. The first that I read is Frog's Space Adventure, and one cannot help but be impressed by his artistic and creative abilities.




Joshua is a dedicated young man who appreciates and respects the arts and who surely has the potential to make great contributions as an author in the future.

Not Ordinarily Borrowable or Unwelcome Advice by Thomas Thurman





Imagine having the kind of day where a fiery dragon steals all of your books, ruins your studies and destroys the library! That is how the day starts for main character Maria in Not Ordinarily Borrowable by Thomas Thurman.






The story is an imaginative adventure from start to finish. Main character Maria is struggling with her courage as she considers confronting the supposed to be extinct dragon, and embarks on an adventure that keeps the reader entertained the whole way.





Not Ordinarily Borrowable is a colorful, imaginative story that had me laughing out loud more than once. It is a story that can be enjoyed by all age groups. If you are looking for a funny, and not so ordinary story, I highly recommend this book.
