S.O.S. Meteors: Blake and Mortimer 6 (Adventures of Blake & Mortimer) ReviewFinally, after many years after Comcat put out a couple of Blake & Mortimer albums, someone is putting this series out in English. I've long heard about this series, but had never read it. It's great that they have, and I plan on getting all of them.
If there is one issue I have, its that I wish they had reprinted them in their original order. This is NOT the sixth B&M story, but actually the eightth!! Cinebooks is including a list of all the B&M books in order, showing which ones they have reprinted, and the next ones. At least this is one done by EP Jacobs, B&M's creator, as will the next one. I do hope they reprint the first story (a three-parter) and the last 2 done by Jacobs, as well as the 2 reprinted by Comcat. While I enjoy seeing the later non-Jacob albums, I wish they'd focus on him AND step up their reprint schedule with this series. 2 per year is just too few.
This story is another class B&M 'science mystery'. Mortimer is in Paris (that's actually the subtitle "Mortimer in Paris"), helping with the wild weather plaguing France and all of Europe. As its a B&M story, you know we'll be dealing with intrigue, weird science, and of course, Col. Olrik will be behind it somehow.
I look forward to the next album, "The Necklace Affair", which is another EP Jacobs tale.

What Makes the Seasons ReviewI think this is a nice book for toddlers and preschoolers. It is a nice read-aloud, with a cute rhyme and I think it does a pretty good job answering the questions it raises.
An example of what you will find follows:
The colored leaves dance all around.
But WHY do leaves fall to the ground?
In all the leaves on all the trees
Are tiny tree food factories.
Leaves use sun to make the food.
When there's less sun, leaves com unglued.
Four Stars. [B-]. Artwork is bright and attractive. Nice rhyme makes for a good read-aloud. The book provides a nice introduction to the why and wherefore of the seasons: earth's movement around the sun; rain freezing to make snow, etc.What Makes the Seasons Overview

The Sisters Club: Cloudy with a Chance of Boys ReviewIf I had to limit my review to one word, I would say this book is "cute." It didn't do a whole lot for me, but it was still an enjoyable read. Obviously, I am way out of the intended target group to find much in common with this book, but I can see why my students held it hostage for so long. I haven't been able to read it until now because it was constantly going missing off the book shelf.
Basically, you have three very chumming sisters who wish for something "amazing" to happen on a stormy night. Since the ages vary, the "amazing" thing also varies for each sister. I loved how the youngest sister, Joey, was disgusted by boys. Her wish was to see a rare blue tree frog. Stevie, the middle sister doesn't have a clear idea of what she wants, so she just wants something new and exciting. She doesn't count on that including a new boy that has a crush on her. Alex, the oldest, is already interested in boys and wants to get her first kiss. You can guess what her wish is.
It was pretty straight forward and predictable. I liked the little sketches added in by Joey. They were a funny addition. I also liked the fortune telling sock monkey. Those conversations were pretty funny-- perfect for a tween's sense of humor.
This book fits in well with a 10-12 year old girl's reading. I know for a fact that this particular age group loves this book. I've witnessed that first hand. It was a good, clean book. Two simple (and hilarious) kiss scenes are about as "trashy" as you'll find.The Sisters Club: Cloudy with a Chance of Boys Overview

Four Seasons Make a Year ReviewThis book follows a little girl who lives on a farm through the four seasons. It starts out in spring and the little girl plants a sunflower seed by her door. She tells us about Spring turning into summer. In summer on her fam her family has a roadside stand where they sell corn and squash. September rolls around and fall comes to the farm. Pumpkins are now he crop of choice at her family's stand. December comes soon and it's winter on the farm. She has saved the sunflower seeds from the flower she has planted and feeds then to the birds.
I liked the illustrations in the book. They were bright and colorful and added lots to the text.This is a wonderful picture book for kids and a great resource for teachers when teaching about plant life and the four seasons.
