Title: I loved it!
Review: I love this series! Seriously, completely, infatuated. Not only are the characters delightful, but they are genuine and not afraid to be themselves. The plots in these short stories are simple and yet profound. I'm always amazed when authors can tell stories of depth in so few words and in this case, mostly through text. In this, the third book in the series, Gollie and Bink face some interesting dilemmas. First, Gollie discovers she is royalty and decides not to fix pancakes any more which shocks Bink. And Bink decides that she isn't sure about being friends with a 'queen.' Can their friendship survive? And what about when Bink thinks she's found a way to make herself taller but things don't quite work out they way she hopes? Can she handle the disappointment. And can Bink and Gollie really set a world record? I laughed my way through this book. The writing and illustrating compliment each other perfectly. The words are fabulous and the illustrations really bring home the humor and good spirits of Bink and Gollie. This series is great for early readers, but older children will enjoy it too and it would make for a great shared read. Highly, highly recommended.

Title: I love that she can read it all on her own ...
Review: My 6-year old loves this series. I love that she can read it all on her own and because it is longer than many of the early readers, she doesn't finish it in a matter of minutes. She loves the stories and the pictures make it interesting for her.

Title: Noah approved
Review: While not quite as joyous as the first one, this kept Noah happily occupied reading it himself for a good hour.

Review: Goofy, silly girls with vibrant personalities, and real emotions. I love to read them to both my boy and girl, and let them see examples of girls with interesting personalities, who find the world an interesting place to be.
