Ms. Yingling Reads: Jenny Kimura
http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/jenny-kimura.html
Tuesday, August 04, 2015. Not only do I own a copy of this title, there is one in my school library as well! It's a bit worse for the wear, but like Butler's Light a Single Candle. It is one I remember from my own youth and I just can't part with! Cavanna, Betty. Jenny Kimura. William Morrow and Company, 1964. This gets a bit overly 1950s girly when Jenny starts thinking about being Jenny Carlisle versus Jenny Yamada. Argh. What I really think. Posted by Ms. Yingling. Because this blog is aimed at librar...

Ms. Yingling Reads: Cartoon Saturday- Tom Gates/ My Pet Human
http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/cartoon-saturday-tom-gates-my-pet-human.html
Saturday, August 08, 2015. Cartoon Saturday- Tom Gates/ My Pet Human. Tom Gates: Everything's Amazing (Sort of) (#3). September 8th 2015 by Candlewick Press. E ARC from Netgalley.com. Very light on plot. What I really think. It's organic mac and cheese out of a box. You know it's not any better than the bright orange kind, but it looks like you've made an effort. 400 and some pages long, but with literally two sentences on every page. Methadone for Wimpy Kid addicts. And they remind me of the drawings on...

Ms. Yingling Reads: Trouble is a Friend of Mine/ Captive Thunder
http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/trouble-is-friend-of-mine-captive.html
Thursday, August 06, 2015. Trouble is a Friend of Mine/ Captive Thunder. Tromly, Stephanie. Trouble is a Friend of Mine. August 4th 2015 by Kathy Dawson Books. And will Zoe survive both the investigation and her friendship with the quirky Digby? The mysteries didn't come to the most satisfactory conclusion for me, but by that point in the book, I was more invested in the characters than in finding out what had happened. What I really think. Butler, Beverly. Captive Thunder. June 28th 1969 by Dodd Mead.

Ms. Yingling Reads: Books with really long titles... then and now
http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/books-with-really-long-titles-then-and.html
Friday, August 07, 2015. Books with really long titles. then and now. Anderson, Jeff. Zack Delacruz: Me and My Big Mouth. August 4th 2015 by Sterling Children's Books. ARC from Baker and Taylor. When he and classmate José get a little carried away in the library, breaking into a dance while their librarian, Mrs. Darling, is on the phone (and who doesn't. What I really think. A good first try! Mr Anderson clearly did his research, and I did appreciate that the bullying was not stereotypical swirlies and t...

Ms. Yingling Reads: Slice of Life: Back to School
http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/08/slice-of-life-back-to-school.html
Monday, August 10, 2015. Slice of Life: Back to School. I am starting my 41st year of school. Some things don't change. We think of change as something negative. But if things never changed, I could still be wearing a heavy metal back brace for scoliosis. The worst perm of my life would never grow out. I'd still be wearing unfortunate orange mock neck shirts with Winnie the Pooh embroidered on them, and the mean girls in 4th grade would make fun of me every day. When I was very small, I would cry if my p...

Ms. Yingling Reads: #WeNeedDiverseBooks Wednesday- Bayou Magic
http://msyinglingreads.blogspot.com/2015/05/weneeddiversebooks-wednesday-bayou-magic.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. WeNeedDiverseBooks Wednesday- Bayou Magic. Rhodes, Jewell Parker. Bayou Magic. May 12th 2015 by Little, Brown Books for Young Readers. E ARC from Edelweiss Above the Treeline. This is a little slow, with the action building gradually. What I really think. Neither were storytellers as well; there was work to be done. The descriptions of the climate were also so vivid- all that mud, humidity and bugs- it's not a setting I find appealing. I feel rather like I need to wash th...Bayou...
