Ninja Red Riding Hood Review by Josie, age 10
"I liked this book because the wolf practiced to get better at karate (I practice karate too) but he wanted to do karate to fight (I do karate for self-control). Then he went to grandmother’s house and pretended that he was grandmother but Riding Hood came in and did very good karate and the wolf couldn’t beat her. I thought it was funny that they wrecked grandmother’s house. Then grandmother came in and gave him pie. Then he did yoga. That was funny. I liked the pictures and that it shows karate is better when you control yourself." The Count of Monte Cristo |

"Being Frank is a good because Frank says things that he thinks are true and hurts everyone's feelings. He finally learns to say the things that he likes about things without hurting people's feelings." -Sydney C., age: 7 and 3/4 |
"While Being Frank is a children's picture book, it's great for adults, too! I don't care who you are, it's funny." -Rachel Welch, Artist/Musician |
"Allow me to be frank: Donna W. Earnhardt wrote a remarkable book!-- It's incredibly relatable and I love how there's a message snuck in between the hilarity. Being Frank is an instant classic." -Ashley Bohmer, Children’s Writer |
"I think Wonder was a phenomenal book because he has a face problem and people were mean to him and he still was kind. He also has some great friends." -Naomi C., age: a decade (and 28 days) |
"I really liked the book Wonder because it has a happy ending and it's all about a kid who gets teased a lot because his face is misshapen. Then at the end his friends stand up for him and it makes him feel very good. It's just a heartwarming ending." -James C., age: 11 |
