Book Review: How to Teach Filthy Rich Girls

The Penderwicks was one of the young adult books I have been wanting to read. I  picked this one up at the library a few weeks back and it sat in my stack for awhile before I picked it up. Amidst reading a few nonfiction books, I had been itching for some fiction. It was [...]

Kids Pick

Here’s a book I checked out from the library last week that has been fun to read to Joey: A House Is a House for Me. It’s a nice little rhyming book. It’s all about the different types of houses animals, people, and things live in. Here’s a little tidbit: A hill is a house [...]
