What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Life and Death in Children's Books

This addition to the Alvin Ho series was really, really well done.  In Alvin Ho:  allergic to dead bodies, funerals and other fatal circumstances, Alvin faces something that is really scary for a lot of people:  death.  Alvin's gunggung's best friend dies and Alvin tells gunggung that he will go to the funeral with him. This spins Alvin into a grand state of worry  He is worried that his gunggung will die and, well, things get pretty crazy.
I am still feeling icky about number three, but this book was right on, a five of five.  So I would say, skip three and roll right on to this one.
