Five Little Monkeys Sitting in a Tree (Five Little Monkeys) by Eileen Christelow

Personally I don’t see the appeal of the Five Little Monkeys, I personally find every story repetitive and lacking in imagination. However, young readers love them. The sentences are simple enough that when they are learning to read they can put their skills to practice.

In this little adventure, the monkeys are sitting in a tree teasing an alligator. Personally I was rooting for the alligator to eat those annoying little monkeys.

The Dark Knight Returns: The Last Crusade by Frank Miller, Brian Azzarello, John Romita Jr. (Illustrator)

This book wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be. All this really do was cement that Bruce is a bit of an ass and Jason should know not to eavesdrop.

Imagina un Dia = Imagine a Day by Sarah L. Thomson, Rob Gonsalves (Illustrator)

I very rarely rate a book a 1, however, this book completely fell flat. The illustrations initially attracted the children’s attention. But, after a couple of pages even the art failed to hold their attention. The story was virtually non-existent and the prose was nowhere near imaginative enough to keep anyone hooked.

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed (Five Little Monkeys) by Eileen Christelow

Personally I don’t see the appeal of the Five Little Monkeys, I personally find every story repetitive and lacking in imagination. However, young readers love them. The sentences are simple enough that when they are learning to read they can put their skills to practice.

In this little adventure, the monkeys have to go to bed and end up with more bumps and knocks than if they’d been playing in the park.

Fortunately, the Milk by Neil Gaiman

This was a whimsical and extravagant tale told by a Father that spent a little too long chatting with the neighbor, instead of getting home with the milk.

He faces dinosaurs, pirates, gods and aliens. He travels through time and tangles with pirates. But, fortunately the milk saves the day every time.

Klaus by Grant Morrison, Dan Mora (Illustrator)

Oh my god! Grant Morrison outdid himself with this incredible and amazing tale of Santa Klaus.

You get a story of how Klaus became Santa and honestly the whole superhero like depiction makes him just so much more badass.

I will says I was hoping he’d end up with the girl, but either way totally amazing.

I can’t wait for the upcoming one-shot coming in December.

Five Little Monkeys Go Shopping (Five Little Monkeys) by Eileen Christelow

Personally I don’t see the appeal of the Five Little Monkeys, I personally find every story repetitive and lacking in imagination. However, young readers love them. The sentences are simple enough that when they are learning to read they can put their skills to practice.

In this little adventure, the monkeys go shopping and obviously get into a whole lot of trouble.
