Paw Patrol - Five Puptacular Tales! by Step into Reading, Nickelodeon

  I am not a Paw Patrol fan; I think the concept and stories dumb down the reading experience. That said, 3, 4, 5-year-olds love it, why, only a child's mind can know.    The book is five compact stories written by 3 authors.    Why this is important: I think the entire Paw Patrol enterprise shortchanges young readers. The stories, as usual, is about the saving of hapless, dumb witted town folks by Ryder, the super, privileged looking kid, and his mighty trusted pups. Really, give me a break. Oh, I digress. Don’t let your little one start with any of the books, movies, TV series, or games. If they have, work to break them from this dribble. If I could give this book, like all the others, zero stars, I would. 

DC Super Friends - Batman's Hero Files by Billy Wrecks

  Book is about Batman's files on his super friends. Good for a 4-year who is getting into the superhero genre.  Book is very rudimentary, brief snippets of Batman's friends - Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Batgirl, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Cyborg, and Aquaman, and their crime fighting abilities.  Art work is okay, it depicts the super heroes in DC form, and the characters are diverse, which is good. If your child likes reading about super heroes, this is a good entry level book. 

Me & Mama by Cozbi A. Cabrera

This is a good solid read for pre-k and kindergarten age.  The story is about the day of a little girl and the special relationship she has with her mother, the bond they are creating, one that will last a lifetime.  The writing is easy to understand and the book comes in audio read-along. The illustrations are vibrant and colorful.  A good bedtime book for your little one.  A little about the author. Cozbi A. Cabrera received a BFA from Parsons School of Design.
