Books Reviews

Curling up with a good book is a favourite year-round pursuit: in front of a blazing fire in January, in the park under a warm May sun, in a hammock lake-side in July or with coffee on the back porch overlooking brilliant fall foliage.

ChickAdvisor members love light reads like the wildly popular Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella or the more introspective romances of Emily GiffinHe's Not That Into You gives us food for thought, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series is a guilty little pleasure.

The Little Prince

True classic book Loved it when I was young. Still loved it when my kids were old enough to understand. Went to see the movie recently. You have to be open-minded about this book because it's different in every way.

I was grabbed by the first chapter - and an hour later was still reading. I was enchanted by Mario and Elizabeth's jetset life - they went into countries years before the Paralympics and Olympics came to town, in order to reorganize huge aspects of the cities the event takes...

I have had students of many ages over the past few years and only a handful have not enjoyed this series. I personally love it. They are well-written and engaging for kids and I love the use of their text and photos.
