My Pet Human Takes Center Stage
A recommended purchase for most chapter book collections. Hand to readers who love animal tales.-Kathy Kirchoefer, Henderson County Public Library, NC
Resentful when his "pet human" fosters a shelter kitten, feline narrator Oliver (My Pet Human) tries to regain her attention, which culminates in the cats' participation in an animal talent show fundraiser and--predictably--Oliver's new affection for the adorable interloper. While a bit low-energy, this early chapter book/cartoon hybrid will appeal to new readers with gentle humor, spacious page design, and pet-owning wish-fulfillment.
Beautiful Blue World
Dark, complex, and highly discussable, this novel would be a strong pairing with Sara Pennypacker's Pax, another work that contemplates war and its effects.
Inspector Flytrap
This quirky series debut will amuse and intrigue young readers; a series sure to "fly" off the shelves.
