Children's book roundup for May

The Borrowers Afloat by Mary Norton

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


I wish I had known about this series as a kid. It is so much fun. I love the Borrowers' ingenuity, and I love the way they manage to turn small household items into really cool furniture and tools. Can't wait to see what happens in the next volume.

Nighty-Nightmare by James Howe

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Another hare-raising tale, this time of Harold and company lost in the woods on a night when spirits and devils are known to roam the earth. Nicely silly.

Bunnicula Strikes Again! by James Howe

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Chester finally comes around on Bunnicula. While the plot of this one is more contrived than any of the others, the conclusion is very, very sweet.
