I Dissent – Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark Written by Debbie Levy and Illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley

October 10, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. While I Dissent may look a biography picture book about the Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg to any adult passing by, it apparently sends out a secret signal to children that it is actually a superhero book.  Don’t feel bad if you miss the signal.  It’s on a very unique and subtle frequency.   There are no lasers, no Star Wars, no Minecraft anything, no construction vehicles, […]

The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! by Mike Lowery

July 20, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. “The book that you’re holding in your hands right this second is different from any other book you’ve ever held before.”  –From The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs!
