Jason M Burns

I received this book after reading The Young Despondents also by Jason M. Burns which by the way was terrific, you should check it out. Anyhow, I've hung on to Brunderfold because I don't read a lot of YA (fantasy) books and was afraid it would be to fantasy for me. But I was wrong! It was also a terrific read. I love Jason's prose and writing style. He really creates a great character in Aiden and his "adventure". I also thought Brunderfold was a great character in what drives him and keeps him alive. (I don't want to give anything away so I'm trying to be vague). I can't wait to have my 12 year old nephew read the book now that I'm finished!… (mer)

Sesame Street: I Is for Imagination is a children's book in the format of a graphic novel.

Presenting the very first adventure of everybody's soon-to-be-favorite hero, the monster who is more red than a tomato, more adorable than a basket of kittens, and funnier than a knock knock joke...It's SUPER ELMO!

My daughter loved this book. She is four years old and has never really bothered either way for Sesame Street but likes Elmo well enough. She loved the pictures and the story about Elmo the Super Hero, the Cookie Monster in space, and Oscar the Grouch and laundry day.

The Cookie Monster was her favorite of the three. Although, I must say, my different character voices were absolutely spectacular (cough!).

So, why is this good for your kids...
We learn about how being a hero begins in the heart.
we learn that the Cookie Monster loves cookies and milk (smile).
We learn about Oscar and his love for bad smells as he helps Telly help leila with wet socks from the laundromat.
Most important is the Hero story, the other two are just for fun.
I enjoyed reading this book to my daughter and acting out the story.… (mer)
