Here We Go Digging For Dinosaur Bones by Susan Lendroth, illustrated by Bob Kolar

Estimated read time: 1 minute

This engaging and colorful book features diverse illustrations starting from the front cover, including detailed dinosaur skeletons. It’s a fun sing-along story set to the tune of “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.” The book opens with the song lyrics on the first page, along with a brief introduction about the discovery of dinosaur bones—covering everything from construction workers to children playing in the field. Each subsequent page repeats the song and offers simple, accessible explanations about fossils and dinosaurs, making it both entertaining and educational. 

Perfect for young children interested in dinosaurs and fossils, this book combines rhythm, fun, and learning seamlessly. I’d give it a solid 4 stars for its engaging approach and vibrant illustrations.

Book Review: Wisdom Takes Work by Ryan Holiday

A Capstone in the Stoic Virtues Series: Wisdom Takes Work by Ryan Holiday Review by Charles Francis Advanced copy provided by NetGalley Estimated Read Time:  ~4 minutes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5 out of 5 stars) Epicurus understood something fundamental about the human condition when he wrote, "Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when they are young nor weary in the search thereof when they have grown old." Ryan Holiday opens  Wisdom Takes Work —released October 21, 2025—with this ancient insight, and what follows is perhaps his most essential book to date: a capstone that brings his Stoic virtues series into sharper focus. As an avid reader who holds authors to a high bar, I first encountered Holiday through  The Daily Stoic , a book I return to annually and one that continues to reveal new layers with each reading. That initial encounter sparked a years-long journey into Stoicism that has led me through the  Meditations  of Marcus Aurelius, the letters of Seneca, Epictetus's...

Book Review - Making the Best of What's Left: When You're Too Old to Get the Chairs Reupholstered by Judith Viorst

Image
I would like to thank NetGalley, author Judith Viorst, and Simon & Schuster for providing me with an advanced copy of  Making the Best of What's Left: When You're Too Old to Get the Chairs Reupholstered.  This review reflects my personal thoughts and opinions, independent of any influence from the author, publisher, or NetGalley.   Review Bestselling author Judith Viorst, at age 94, once again delivers an engaging, witty, and deeply reflective exploration of life’s later years in  Making the Best of What's Left.  With her hallmark blend of humor and wisdom, Viorst offers a compelling and, at times, sobering examination of aging and the inevitability of life's passage. While her humor shines, the book’s real power lies in its poignant reflections on embracing the twilight years with courage, grace, and acceptance.   Viorst’s sharp and entertaining writing stands out. She masterfully balances humor—often a much-needed antidote to life’s heavier realities—...
