The Penderwicks: A Summer of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy – Jeanne Birdsall
With summer vacation quickly approaching, I wanted to revisit this favorite. It is an excellent summer read and the firstbook of a five book series. This review was originally posted on June 22, 2015.
The Penderwicks series was a delightful recent find during a library visit. This series which features the Penerwick sisters reminds me a great deal of Little Women. The stories focus on the adventures of the girls and their very distinct personalities. There is a wholesomeness about these books that is really refreshing.

Can I Tell You a Secret? – Anna Kang
With summer vacation quickly approaching, I wanted to revisit this favorite. This review was originally posted on August 19, 2016.
Can I Tell You a Secret is a precious book that features a little frog with a big secret – He is scared of the water and cannot swim! This would be a problem for anyone to be sure, but it is a huge problem for a frog. Ultimately, Monty the frog learns that conquering your fears is a lot easier when you have the help of a friend. Can I Tell You a Secret is a darling book that would make a terrific read-aloud.
