Mrs. Watson Wants Your Teeth

Mrs. Watson Wants Your Teeth by Alison McGhee
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a great book for 1st or 2nd graders. A young 1st grader hears on the bus that her new 1st grade teachers is an alien who craves baby teeth. This is particularly frightening to our young protagonist, who has a loose tooth that could come out at any moment. The story combines with the illustrations to create a really fun book to read. My 2nd grader loved studying the pictures and it really added to the humor of the story. I would recommend this as a great read aloud.

The Night Country (The Hazel Wood: #2)

The Night Country by Melissa Albert
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I did enjoy the originality and uniqueness of this sequel. I did not enjoy it as much as the first book in the series, but it was still good. It made sense that our heroine would be affected by her time in the Hazel Wood and would have to readjust to her new life. She seemed to make some really strange decisions, though, and several times I found myself wondering, "Why is she doing that?" All in all, I did like this book and would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoyed The Hazel Wood.
