Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-01 00:00:00 Alice Mcatee This book was about praying mantises. It was a non-fiction book and it was from the minute they hatched from their eggs to the minute the female laid more eggs for the next generation of praying mantises. I liked it. It was really educational and I learned a lot more about praying mantises. I do not think I will have this book in my classroom though.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-08-13 00:00:00 Ben Hampshire Now that see the illustrations (which are very nice) I think I read this one as a child. It's an earlier version of Rapunzel story, from Italy, with the same basic set-up (the stolen salad greens, the tower, the long hair) but a lot of differences, including omitting the pregnancy and blinding, and instead having the prince and prisoner make their escape together. Here a not-so-dumb Petrosinella is eavesdropping on the ogress as she discussed magic with her friend.
