Book Review: Be A Star, Wonder Woman!

Katie August 4, 2017 0 Comments

This is an adorable book that tells you that no matter how big or how small you are, you should always be a star. There is even a check book at the end of the book with what you need to be in order to be a star: Prepared, Kind, Brave, Honest, Strong and Heroic. Stars are not born, they are made.

The illustrations in this book are awesome – showing wonder woman as well as the super cute little girl wonder woman who is a star at school. So cute.

I absolutely love all the characters featured in Yarn Whirled: The Royal Family and one of these days I a really going to have to sit down and try to make one. The book has instructions on all of the characters and even has a family tree of the royal family.  There are various different outfits featured – Kate and Wills wedding, the Queen at 90, etc. There are step by step tips and techniques to help you make a royal family all of your own!
