Playing with Boys

by Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez

A sort of Sex and the City (similar but not quite the same feel) featuring Latina women. Very entertaining. Its was fun to read about people in a whole different world. But didn't like all the disapproval of stay at home moms (for obvious reasons).

She's an entertaining writer, not appropriate for the prudish though too much sex and fantasy sex.

The Calvin and Hobbes 10th Anniversary Book

by Bill Watterson

Its Calvin and Hobbes. Need I say more? Hilarious. Makes me miss finding them in the paper.

Frangipani

Sequel to Breadfruit. This one focuses more on the mother daughter dynamic. Excellent again. Lovely. Wonderful.

Breadfruit

by Celestine Vaite

Excellent. About a Tahitian woman (told in a similar way to the No. 1 Ladies Detective Series book) and the people in her life. Wonderful, charming. A definite keeper.

Scandal of the Season

by Sophia Gee

Takes place in early 18th Century London about the characters in the Alexander Pope poem "The Rape of the Lock." Liked a lot, for one thing I've read a lot about the French during that time and it was interesting to read how the English lived then.

The Great Dog Wash

by Shellie Braeuner

The dogs in the neighborhood get bathed by the kids in town. Fun for the dog loving kids out there.

Very clever. Andrew loves it and pretends to read it by himself. The rhymes make it easier for him to remember what comes next.
