Kids Books - Children

This book was just okay. I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. It did have really nice pictures. I would not read this one again.

my friend reiley (lol she has the same name, different spelling as the main character) recommended this series to me when i was eight, and i was captivated by the radiance (HAHA A PUN!! but a really bad one) of this series. it's actually decently interesting because you get to see how heaven is envisioned according to the author. recommended for girls, mostly (but boys don't let this review stop you from reading the riley bloom series), if you like books with an intriguing romance and a slow-moving plot.

This book was very exciting. I didn't know what was going to happen next. I really didn't like the wolf. I am glad that Peter got away.

This book was easy to read. I really liked the pictures. It was a good story that kept me entertained. I would read it again.

This book was very sweet. I really like the spider sisters. They are so kind to one another. I really liked that the words rhymed.
