Two Knights Review by Sir Julius of Chick n' Pug Meet the Dude by Jennifer Sattler

Chick n' Pug Meet the Dude by Jennifer Sattler

Sir Julius's Review:

I loved this book, because I have a pug named Mia, and she is just as lazy as Pug! It made me laugh. The pictures in the book were great and I could read this book again and again. 

Mom's Thoughts:

When looking for a book to read, Julius tends to go for the books that will make him laugh or superheroes! Pug's cape in the illustrations really threw us off, but in a really great way! We were expecting a "superhero" pug, but was tickled to find out he was every bit as laid back as our own. The illustrations were wonderful. I really enjoyed reading this with Julius, and the story was adorable. This is one of those children's books that I would not mind reading over again. 

A Two Knights Review by Sir Isaiah's Review of City Chickens by Christine Hepperman

Title: City Chickens
Author: Christine Heppermann
Genre:  Juvenile Non-fiction


Sir Isaiah's Review:

 I love to read non-fiction books and research facts. We started raising chicks this year and I wanted to learn more about them. This book was about chickens who were rescued. Three facts that I learned about chickens was:
1) They like to eat plain spaghetti and lettuce.
2) When a chicken rolls in the dirt its taking a dust bath to keep its feathers shiny and clean.
3)  Chickens are the most abused animals in the world.

If you want to learn more about how to help rescue homeless chickens this would be a good book to read. 

Mom's Thoughts:

This was a really interesting read. I didn't realize that people actually drop off chickens to their local animal shelters. Sadly, most are put to sleep, because of their involvement in fighting rings. Mary Britton Clouse is awesome. She was able to get her city home permitted to house homeless chickens, and started the Chicken Run Rescue in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

What was really disconcerting was that most of the chickens were coming from local schools who hatched the eggs for a school project. When the project was done they would drop the eggs off at the shelter.  

Overall, this was a very informative read and promoted awareness of an inner city issue revolving not just around dogs/cats, but chickens too. 

A Two Knights Review by Sir Julius of Come Back Dear Sun by Geena Bean

Come Back Dear Sun by Geena Bean

Sir Julius's Review:

I really liked this book. It made me sad that the sun decided to never come out again. My favorite part was when the kids stayed outside at night to talk to the moon. I'm glad this book had a happy ending, and I would read this one again.

Mom's Thoughts:

This story touches on a subject that needs more attention. How many hours a day do our children sit before a computer, video games, television or on phones? The author does a wonderful job of giving us the sun's point of view and promotes awareness to children, as well as parents, about how much time is spent in a sedentary position. 

This story is unique, the first I've seen on the this topic, and is a must read. Well done, Ms. Bean!
