Perfectly Percy by Paul Schmid

  Difficulty:

★★★☆☆ - Moderate

Illustrations:
★★★★☆











Thoughts:
Again, my cousins found this book enjoyable with the cute illustrations and the simple storyline.  They have enjoyed books from the same author, which got them excited to read this one.  Not only have they read this book once, but they have taken it off the book shelf several times to re-read this book.  Not only was it enjoyable for the two, but I have enjoyed both the storyline and the illustrations myself.  My cousins are looking forward to reading books similar to this.

Kid's Thoughts: Review of Peanut & Fifi Have a Ball by Randall de Sève, Illustrated by Paul Schmid

Difficulty:
★★★☆☆ - Moderate

Illustrations:
★★★★☆







Thoughts:
My cousins enjoyed the book, with its amazing, yet simple, illustrations.  This book was perfect for them to read, with the simple words that were sometimes repeated, in order to remind the child what each word meant or how to pronounce it.  This book also teaches kids that the best way to gain more friends (and toys) is to share.  Not only does this book have a moral to it, it also has a nice and simple problem.  The pro about that is the fact that you could let your kids think of a better solution for both Peanut and Fifi.  For example, they could suggest that they share the ball with each other instead of having to let Fifi try to get the ball from Peanut. (If that made any sense anyways)

Kid's Thoughts: Review of Eager Eaglets: Birds of Play by Ben and Angela Muse, Illustrated by Ewa Podleś

Difficulty:
★★★★☆ - Hard

Illustrations:
★★★★★











Thoughts:
Like the other The Bee Bully, this book had many words that were too difficult for my cousins to figure out/sound out.  Although it is difficult, it is an enjoyable book, something you could read to your child/children during bed time.  This shows the determination that kids could have, it also teaches them to dream big.  My cousins have enjoyed this book and has taken it out of the shelf a few times to try to read it themselves (although they would just give up and end up looking at the pictures instead).

Kid's Thoughts: Review of The Bee Bully by Angela Muse, Illustrated by Ewa Podleś

Difficulty:
★★★★☆ - Hard

Illustrations:
★★★★★











Thoughts:
This book has been difficult for my cousins to read on their own.  The book contained big words like "exclaimed" and "scowled".  This book is recommended for children who are 8 or 9 years old.  Although there were many difficult words, my cousins and I enjoyed the illustrations.  The colourful drawings brought life to this book.  If this book had easier words, this book would be much more enjoyable.  Although we do not rate the book with posts labeled "Kid's Thoughts", I think that this book deserved a 4.5.

Kid's Thoughts: Review of Chalk by Bill Thomson

Difficulty:
★☆☆☆☆ - Really easy

Illustrations:
★★★★★










Thoughts:
My cousins, who are 7, really enjoyed this book.  Even though it had absolutely no words on it whatsoever, I think that this sparks the creativity in children.  It gives them the time and space to slowly create their own story with their imagination while looking at these colourful pages.  This book is different from other books and would be recommended to children around the age of 5.
