Three More Cybils – All Good, For Different Reasons

First, Mr Putter & Tabby Spill the Beans is an easy reader that’s really, really easy. I tend to like these less than any other type of book and I felt the same way about this one except…. As Mr Putter and Mrs Teaberry are learning 100 Ways to Cook Beans, I began to think in my head “I bet there will be bean Jell-o”. I turned the page and…. Yep, Three Bean Jell-o and from then on, the book was a hit. That’s all it needed. Oh the real story about having to try new things (particularly things that don’t sound fun) because those new things will make someone else happy” is a good lesson and it’s told in a cute way. But really, if there had been no bean Jell-o, I’d have been bored. As it is, I’m thinking about buying this silly book. Heh.

Captain Nobody is a middle grade fiction that feels a little young for MGF but it certainly wasn’t an easy reader/early chapter book. Oy, genre classification is hard.  It started slowly but after The Big Tackle, it moved quickly and I was hooked. Captain Nobody became the town’s hero and his sidekicks get some of the spotlight too. Nice book. I liked it.

I’m a big fan of Roscoe Riley (and his rules). I particularly like #7 – Never Race a Runaway Pumpkin because it’s true! You shouldn’t. And I do not care what anyone says, bad stuff can happen if you break a mirror or if an evil black cat crosses your path (the problem is knowing whether a cat is evil or not, lol.)
