I like this book because it's funny.

I like fox

They learned how to defeat the goldfish.

A short, sweet book about the power of a pet to draw an old person back into the will to live. Sometimes funny, always heartwarming.

I like the giraffes dance

I loved this book and thought it had a good plot and it was packed to the brim with stories inside stories inside stories, which I loved.

It’s a good book. It’s funny. The egg cracked.

The butterfly didn’t give up!

A beautifully written book about Shakespeare's family and the era in which he lived. The title refers to his son Hamnet who died of the plague and inspired Shakespeare to write Hamlet. But the main character is really Shakespeare's wife, a woman who does not fit easily into the norms expected for a woman in those days. She is independent and a healer who is more comfortable in the woods than at the hearth. Great book!

This was a brutal portrayal of life in the Italian courts in the 1500's when daughters were groomed to be acceptable matches for other high-powered men. The main character is smart and wily but deeply hampered by her circumstances. There is redemption at the end of the book and, after reading, I was very grateful not to live in that era!
