Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog ReviewLike its predecessor--Traction Man Is Here!--this book is really, really funny partly because of its deadpan "show don't tell" delivery, typified by Traction Man's stoic yet somehow ironic facial expression. The Robin to Traction Man's Batman is his faithful pet Scrubbing Brush, but when Dad decides Scrubbing Brush is too dirty to keep, he doesn't bother telling his son (Traction Man's owner) about his decision.
A fancy new battery-powered gizmo called Turbodog appears to replace Scrubbing Brush, but he's more hype than help. His bark really IS worse than his bite, in fact. Just where is Scrubbing Brush? wonders Traction Man.
The brilliant blow-by-blow, comic strip-style descriptions of Traction Man and Scrubbing Brush's adventures are followed by the parallel, yet less successful, adventures of Traction Man and Turbodog. Ultimately, this book turns into a quest for the missing Scrubbing Brush (who manages to look like a dog while still being a scrubbing brush--yay, Mini!).
I can't even begin to list the myriad little in-jokes in this book, but a couple of them are hidden under the bed and between the couch cushions. Traction Man's quest builds up to his climactic exploration of the dreaded Bin and his rescue of Scrubbing Brush. I will not recount Turbodog's fate here...
Suffice it to say that the two Traction Man books are hilarious and appealing, dare I say tour de forces? (Yep, I guess I do dare!) What's more, they remind us that true play doesn't come with an instruction book. If I were in charge of the world, I'd give these books a Caldecott or two. Since I'm not, I'll settle for giving them each a Badge of Cleanness!Traction Man Meets Turbo Dog Overview

Jesse Steele and the Secret of Otherworld ReviewAs a middle school teacher I am constantly reading books of all genres and levels to discuss with my students. Reading the first installment of the Otherworld Series was an absolute joy! I had no idea of the ride I was in for. Without disclosing too many details, Jesse and his friends are in the Otherworld having one adventure after another trying to complete their quest. Completing their quest though, quite often becomes secondary to simple survival. This is a land of magic and wonder, but not the magic of Harry Potter which we have become used to.
The further I delved into this story the more engaged I became. I never "knew what would happen next." I cared about the characters and had to see them through their next conflict.. I am very excited by what this author, R.L. Brush has accomplished. This is the series to look forward to.Jesse Steele and the Secret of Otherworld Overview

Brush (Reading Rainbow 88) (Cranky Nell Book) Review"Brush" is my favorite "little boy" book, although it's perfectly wonderful for little girls too. I buy it in bulk when it's available in print (it's sometimes very hard to find) and give it as presents whenever I can. "Brush" reaffirms the magic of childhood and gently reminds parents that they really don't know it all.
When a little boy's naughty dog misbehaves, his parents insist he give it away (that is still the harshest part to swallow). Heartbroken, the little one searches for a replacement among his family funriture. He finally settles on an old scrub brush, which he adopts as his pet. He inists that it is real and takes it (on a leash) everywhere with him. The grown ups in his life balk at this charade and chide him for his frivolous imagination. But he does not despair. One evening when his family is in danger, Brush saves the day, proving that things are not always what they seem. Fortunately, the parents admit their shortsightedness and embrace Brush as one of their own. I love this book because it is at once kooky, sweet, funny, and poignant. We grown ups don't know it all. And listening to our children opens up worlds of wonder that we might never experience if we don't really listen to what they have to say.Brush (Reading Rainbow 88) (Cranky Nell Book) Overview
