Book Review: Terry Treetop and The Bear

Katie May 2, 2015 0 Comments

This is another book with Terry Treetop – the boy who got his name because he likes to climb to the top of trees and look around. In this book, it is the first day of Spring and Terry is very happy about that. He sees a bear cub walking around and then sees that it got stuck in a hole. Terry decided to go and find a ladder to help the bear get out. The cub’s mother was nervous about Terry because he was a human but realized that it was him who saved the cub and that children can be trusted. Terry ended up naming the cub Barry Treetop because he likes to climb trees, just like Terry!

If you are looking to take a trip to Las Vegas and are looking for all the greaty naughty hot spots – then this is the book for you.  It starts out with the history of Las Vegas and how it became one of the naughtiest cities – how it used to have brothels, and now burlesque shows and strippers.  It helps you plan for your trip with what to pack and which hotels are the naughtiest to stay at and even how to participate in naughty meet ups.

While being naughty isn’t my thing, if it is yours then this is definitely a book you’ll want to check out – it has all the info you’d possibly want on where to go in Las Vegas to be naughty by day, naughty by night, shop, hang out topless at a pool or even fully nude.

John Smith Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars

John Smith: Last Known Survivor of the Microsoft Wars is a story about John Smith being interviewed about how the world was before the microsoft wars to a reporter.  It is written entirely as an interview which is a different approach than I’ve seen.

This book definitely made me think – what if these technological advancements we are making to make things better and easier for ourselves end up backfiring and ending the world as we know it?  Has it happened already and everything is just cyclical?

This book is fiction and sci fi but you never know…

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for this review.

Book Review: What’s Great About Illinois?

Katie May 1, 2015 0 Comments

What’s Great About Illinois is a book geared towards Children to teach them about the state. (I’ve previously reviewed the book about New York) The book is broken down to various points of interest – such as museums, state parks, ball parks, etc. The book closes with a map, facts and a glossary.

I’ve never been to Chicago aside from being in the airport for a layover (several times) so it was nice to see a bit about what I was missing and what else the great state of Illinois has to offer. There is the TRex Sue, some baseball, Route 66, Lincoln, a giant superman and much more!

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about Illinois or what to check out on your visit, check out this book! (I now need to get to Metropolis IL!)

I received a free e-copy of  this book in order to write this review.

Book Review: Key Discoveries in Engineering and Design

Katie May 1, 2015 0 Comments

Key Discoveries in Engineering and Design is a children’s book to help introduce them to engineering. It focuses on various elements of engineering and design such as arches, print, steam, and evolution in inventions that led us to the computer.  The book is short, but focuses on a lot of the key elements and expresses them in such a way that it is easy for a child to understand and hopefully get excited and interested! There are also some great photos throughout the show what the book is talking about from counting machines, various buildings with arches, etc.  Great for any kid looking to find out some more about history, science and engineering.
