Review: Miss Fannie's Hat
Review: Diary of a Wombat
Diary of a Wombat by Jackie French
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Given the PandaBat's interest in all critters great and weird, we read and loved this. Not as much data as her inquiring mind desires, but all the cuteness you can stand.

Review: Fluffy chick
Fluffy chick by Catherine McCafferty
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Not going to recommend this, although it won't make your eyeballs burn if you have to read it. This series is way to pointed for my tastes.

Review: Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by Mo Willems
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mo Willems has breathed new life into the early reader field. If you don't have a child of the appropriate age you should go out and find one to read this to. Read it to yourself, and it's funny, but with a kid, it's something more.

Review: A Lot Like Christmas
A Lot Like Christmas by Connie Willis
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Yesterday (Nov 27) I was amazed that I hadn't read Miracle many times. But today I have no trouble believing it. "Miracle" I remembered only a few aspects of, forgetting most of the plot. "All About Emily" and "Inn" same. "All Seated on the Ground" I had confused with something else entirely. The only thing that my memory seems really valid on is how great these are: Willis is great at screwball comedy, at poignant drama, at empathy, really.
I figure it can go immediately on the Beloved shelf since I've read much of it already. But the newer material is really good, too!
***
Even though I have only managed to finish the introduction in a week of picking this up, and then having to do, or look up, something or speak to someone because the holidays are like that, I have managed to read several of the stories she lists in the beginning. Just now I finished Saywr's "The Necklace of Pearls," which doesn't have its own entry in GR, and thus, doesn't get its own review blurb.
