Review # 1 was written on 2017-09-27 00:00:00 Larry Landrum Hank and Zoey set up their old kiddie pool in the backyard. Their older sister tricks them out of it and they spend the afternoon trying to get back in it. A fun book to read with toddlers.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-18 00:00:00 Ryan Costion This is a beautiful story told through poems by a 12 year old narrator who lives in the Dominican Republic. She watches as her happy existence and home are brought into the middle of a battle for worker's rights with her beloved brother as the leader. Through tragedy and triumph the girl learns what it means to live and to follow her passion to write in a country where there is no freedom of the press. This short book tells a big story and I highly recommend it. Possible themes to teach: oppression, love of writing, alcoholism, poverty, sibling relationships, leadership, Dominican culture, music, etc.
