The Tunnels by Greg Mitchell

I love history, especially when the stories of the people affected are told.  With that said, I had a terrible time getting in to"The Tunnels" by Greg Mitchell.  Although I learned so much from the people portrayed, it was not a "can't put it down kind of book" for me.  I am glad their stories are told, though.

I was given a copy of this book from the publisher for my honest opinion.

"A Patch on the Peak of Ararat" by Gary Bower

"A Patch on the Peak of Ararat" by Gary Bower is a fun, catchy, little book.  Written in a style like "The House that Jack Built", kids are sure to love this "quippy" story that invites reciting some of the earlier lines with the reader that are repeated several times throughout.  The illustrations, by Barbara Chotiner, are big and bold and easy for little listeners to see.  An absolutely darling book!
