review:
'The Toys' Christmas' by Claire Clement with illustrations by Genevieve Godbout is a charming picture book about the job of old toys at Christmas time.

Noah's toy Elephant, Fanfan, goes missing on Christmas Eve. We follow Fanfan's journey to the North Pole along with all the other older, well-loved toys. They have special messages to pass along to Santa Claus.

This is a cute book that I should have reviewed way before the Christmas season. The story is warm and wonderful and the illustrations by Genevieve Godbout are wonderful.

'Friends Change the World: We Are NASA Scientists' by Zoë Tucker with illustrations by Amanda Quartey is a picture book about two of the scientists who helped get astronauts in to space.

Mary Jackson was really good at math. So good that she got a job at NASA, but she worked there during segregation. She met a scientist named Kaz Czarnecki and they became friends and helped each other at work. Their friendship lasted for decades because of mutual respect that crossed any racial barriers.

I loved this story which tackles a difficult topic, but shows how friends can help each other out. The illustrations are just fantastic, too!

'Michael Jordan' by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara with illustrations by Lo Harris is an ebook in the Little People, Big Dreams which features biographies for young readers.

As the 4th child in his family, little Michael Jordan was always competitive, especially with his older brother Larry. His parents encouraged their kids to play all kinds of sports. When he didn't get a spot on his school basketball team, his mother gave him some good advice and the rest is history.

As a Michael Jordan fan, I'm familiar with much of his story, and it's distilled nicely here with some encouraging words for young readers.

'Timothy Top Book One: The Green Pig' with story and art by Gud is a graphic novel for younger readers about a young boy and a tree that is in danger.

Timothy Top lives in a house with parents who argue. He's also a bit of an outsider at school. Every day on his way to school, he passes a park with an old tree. When a rich businessman wants to reinvent the park and cut down the tree, Timothy Top has to find a way to stop him.

This is kind of a weird story, but I liked it. The main character has a pretty odd sense of imagination, which probably helps his cope with his world. The art is decent enough and I think young readers might be able to relate.

This is a really fantastic story and I really liked getting an inside look at this particular job. The art is also fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this!

review:
'When I Grow Up: The Lost Autobiographies of Six Yiddish Teenagers' with editing and art by Ken Krimstein is a graphic novel of stories of six Eastern European teenagers right before WWII.

In 2017, a trove of lost Yiddish writing was found in a church in Lithuania. Ken Krimstein, a New Yorker cartoonist, selected some entries in a contest by Yiddish teenagers. The rules stated that the contestants had to be anonymous, so with the exception of one entrant who broke the rules, no one knows what happened to these young writers on the eve of World War II.

There is poignancy and humor to be had here. The promise of futures that were cut short or tragically changed. The art works here and there are lots of words in the Yiddish language to pick up along the way.

As in the first volume, this book contains a series of unlinked stories, but by different artists. Milo goes on a camping trip and find a hungry sasquatch. Milo's dad is in a fighting contest. Milo's weird wizard friend does weird wizard stuff. These are just a few of the stories.

As in the last volume, things get a bit weird, so I'm not entirely sure who the target audience is. It seems like a kid's title, but I'm not so sure. The various artists are fun, if a bit uneven.

I did end up liking this but the art was kind of similar and I had a hard time telling characters apart. It got easier as the book went but took a while. There are also some pages with way too many panels on them to get the whole story in. The art is good and this graphic novel includes the author's character designs and a cover gallery.

I liked this visceral, violent story about a man trying to find himself. The art is really great, especially how they make the main character look like Keanu himself. There is a cover gallery showing some great variants, too.

When a horrific accidental tragedy occurs, the demon of vengeance, Pumpkinhead, is released and goes after those who did the deed. There is no judge or jury here, only execution, but the next concern is how to kill or corral Pumpkinhead so it stops killing.

I remember watching this movie on video, so I'm familiar with the character and it is treater pretty well here. There is the main story and a backup story and the art varies, but is good for both.

She is joined by an oddball group of friends, including a vegan owlbear, but what will happen once she finds what she thinks she wants?

This is a good story about finding yourself and the right group of friends along the way. The illustrations were good as was the feel of the D&D lore. All I know is i now want an owlbear for a friend.

I liked this interesting mix of a SF story with the fantasy twist of cursed artifacts. The art has an angular almost manga twist to it. I'm interesting to see where this story goes.

'The Last Stand of the Tin Can Soldiers' the book by James D. Hornfishcer with adaptation by Doug Murray and art by Steven Sanders is a graphic novel adaptation of a non-fiction book about a World War II battle in the Pacific.

In October of 1944, Allied forces were landing on the island of Leyte near the Philippines. A small task force called Taffy 3 made up of a handful of destroyers and escort ships and planes finds themselves squaring off against the Japanese Center Force and finding themselves extremely outgunned. They make a stand that made the history books.

This is a really good adaptation. Doug Murray keeps the narrative concise and doesn't overload the frames with prose. The art is also a nice crisp style. Do be warned that it is suddenly quite graphically violent at times.

It certainly works in the format designed. I don't know how much a small child would retain, but it's a nice book.

This summer for camp, Phoebe chooses drama camp. Marigold is also going to meet up with her sister, which leaves Phoebe feeling left out. Phoebe for her camp project decides to write a musical and Marigold's sister lets her in on some secrets. Phoebe learns some lessons about friendship along the way.

I liked the lessons and story and the longer connected story. I felt like the original musical segment went on a bit too long for my tastes, but the story bits around it were nice.
