'Bats and Their Homes' by Deborah Chase Gibson Book Review

 

'Bats and Their Homes' by Deborah Chase Gibson is a book about the furry flying night nymphs that grace our world.


This is very much a book for those who no very little about flying mammals. I've read books on bats and watched videos about them many times so this book had little information that was new to me. Then this book wasn't written for grown men. It was written for children who need to know more about bats and we should all know at least this much about bats.

All and all, this was an informative book. I'd say this is a fine read. 

Who should read this book? Everyone

Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown


'Flat Stanley' by Jeff Brown is a fun little book about a boy who gets
flattened by a bulletin board and lives a cartoon like life after that. He goes through the mail, gets flown like a kite, and becomes a hero.

One way of looking at this books is that it is something of a comparison to an injury like a broken arm. You have a cast and that makes you different.  The thing to do is make the best of it however you can and that is what Stanley does. 

Children will never have so whimsical an experience as but they will feel the truth in this book. They will understand the sibling rivalry and the humanity of this book.

Christina Aguilera (Famous People) by Wendy Tokunaga

Christina Aguilera (Famous People) by Wendy Tokunaga is a book about the rise to fame of the titular star. It delves into her early love for music and how she rose to fame. 

There are a few details about her life in the Micky Mouse Club and her early work with Disney. The book brings you up to her second album and some facts about her fashion and family.  

To be honest, I have no idea who this is, and her music is something that I'm sure I've heard, but never had all that much interest in. This book is for young fans of hers that need a simplified version of her life. Me, I would need a great deal more to be interested. 

Who should read this book: Young fans of this woman.

Remarkable Animals: Killer Bees By Kathleen Davis

 


'Remarkable Animals: Killer Bees' By Kathleen Davis is a book that teaches you a good amount about bees. I had no idea their genetics were so complicated and I didn't know they could cross breed on their own. 

Further, I now have a greater understanding of the so called 'killer bee'. This is a good thing to have if you fear bees or have an allergy to their sting. There isn't much to know in avoiding them. They are a little smaller than normal bees and if you see any kind of be swarming you should avoid them. Still, this was a very informative book

Who should read this book? those who want to know about bees.
