I thought about how many people hear about banned book week and immediately think of 1984 or other classic novels. Most people don’t realize that there are MANY picture books being banned as well.

Why I Read Banned Books
I read banned books. You likely do too, whether or not you realize it. How do I know this fact?
Because most books are banned for the silliest reasons.
The Books We Donated for Banned Books Week
These books were Jelly Bean approved. But even if they weren’t, we still would have donated them.
What I Read in a Week
Please note that while I’m a fast reader, I did not complete all these books. I read (and listen) to multiple books at once, so these are the books I was reading.
Vlad is Mad!
Su Moon’s debut picture book VLAD IS MAD! is about a vampire kid who is a little too full of emotions.
As I Dream of You
Which book did I read on National Read a Book Day (Sept 6)?
Espiritu by Aiden Thomas
Read our review of the ARC of Espiritu, the much anticipated sequel to Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas.
Tiny T. Rex and the First-Day Oopsies
Tiny T. Rex and the First-Day Oopsies is the perfect first day of school book! Even if it’s the 21st day of school. :D
Sashimi and the Field Trip of Doom
Mr. Bookworm did his own review of Sashimi 2 (AKA SASHIMI AND THE FIELD TRIP OF DOOM) and he referred to Sashimi as a chaos engine. I would have to agree. Maybe he’s a chaos magnet even. But the journey with him is never boring.
Unboxing Pride and Prejudice
Which classic book would Belle read?
The Skull
The Skull is beautifully rendered in words and illustration. The pauses and subtext are spot on, a tale with an underlying lesson of acceptance and also friendship.

Hell Bent
“Alex approached Black Elm as if she were sidling up to a wild animal, cautious in her walk up the long, curving driveway, careful not to show her fear. How many times had she made this walk? But today was different.”
from Hell Bent by Leigh Bardugo
