Lively and easy-to-read, they are sure to capture your imagination!

little red reads review

Hamlet Retold in Modern-day English was a wonderful tool in my classroom to teach about Shakespeare on a middle school level. My students really liked the illustrations, but did mention they wish there was more than just one splash of color added to the black and white pictures. While Hamlet is violent, it was tame enough for them to palate, and we even to used the book as a script to act out the play.

I love the book design including the raised cover florishes. The editions are sturdy, built to last for a long time.  The writing was true to the original play. I can readily recommend this to children and teachers as a modern day re-telling of a classic.

Once there was a redwood tree—one of the world’s largest and tallest trees, and one of the oldest. And once, born nearly a thousand years after the tree first took root, there was a girl named Julia, who was called Butterfly.

When exploring her beloved forest, Butterfly wandered into a grove of ancient trees. One tree had broken branches and a big blue “X” on the side. It was going to be chopped down. Butterfly climbed up into the tree. A tree wouldn’t be cut down if it had a person living in it. This is the story of Julia Butterfly Hill and Luna, the redwood tree she lived in for two years, never once coming down. That is, not until Luna's future was safe.

9 year old reader review

Luna and Me is a good book . It’s about a girl who really cares about trees. She discovers life inside this tree .when she finds a blue x on the tree she looks around and sees what it means it will soon be chopped down and harvested. That day butterfly set out on a journey to save the trees.  She stayed in that tree no matter what . That’s how we should all be about the  trees or even the environment.
