The Wild Robot Protects – by Peter Brown

Posted on December 2, 2024December 2, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

This was written by Niko, my 8-year-old son with a just a teeny bit of editing by me. Yesterday, I finished The Wild Robot Protects because you know it’s a bestseller and that’s not a joke. It’s the best book in the series and the best book I have ever read. I am going to…

The Wild Robot – by Peter Brown

Posted on November 13, 2024November 13, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

Niko’s teacher has been reading this book to the class, and last weekend, we saw the movie. This is the first time Niko has seen a movie based on a book, and he was impressed on how the movie portrayed some of the events from the book. I did tell him that books are always…

Whale Done (FunJungle, #8) – by Stuart Gibbs

Posted on October 4, 2024October 4, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

We have finally finished the FunJungle series. For this last book, Niko read a little bit on his own, and it was actually a very climatic part where Teddy Fitzroy solves a crime and tells us who did it. It was funny because Niko kept telling us about it! I truly enjoyed reading these books…

Bear Bottom (FunJungle #7) – by Stuart Gibbs

Posted on September 19, 2024September 19, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

On Tuesday night, I finished reading this one to my 8-year-old son, and just like the previous 6, he really enjoyed it. He pays attention to the book, and several times throughout the book, he predicted what would happen. His favorite character was Morton, a tourist and a moron; and called a touron in the…

Tyrannosaurus Wrecks (Funjungle, #6) – by Stuart Gibbs

Posted on September 7, 2024December 8, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

I have been reading this series to Niko, my 8-year-old son, and he absolutely loves them! I won’t spoil anything, but he figured something out in the beginning of the book and he was correct. Sometimes at silly parts (or scenes of chaos), I have to stop and repeat it so he can understand it….

Lion Down (Funjungle, #5) – by Stuart Gibbs

Posted on August 16, 2024August 16, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

So far, of all the Funjungle books I have read to my 8-year-old son, this was his favorite. He liked the excitement, the adventures, and all the funny things that happened (especially, the wheelchair rumble towards the end)! His favorite phrase was from J.J. McCracken when he said, “Crap on crackers!” Last night, we were…

Panda-monium – by Stuart Gibbs

Posted on July 24, 2024July 24, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

This is the 4th book in the FunJungle series, and I just finished reading it to my 8-year-old son. He really likes the characters, the animals, and the surprising plot twists. A few weeks ago, we went to IKEA and he saw a Koala stuffed animal, so, of course, he had to have it! He…

Big Game – by Stuart Gibbs

Posted on July 7, 2024July 7, 2024 by Mark Lieberman

This is 3rd book in the Funjungle series and I have really enjoyed reading them to my 8-year-old son. He listens and asks a lot of great questions. Sometimes, when something suspenseful happens, he gets excited and has to immediately tell Nina! He also loves the funny hijinks that happen throughout the book. Did you…

This is the 2nd book in the Teddy Fitzroy Funjungle series, and I just finished reading it to my 8-year-old son this morning. I really enjoy reading to him, and he understands everything and sometimes we have to stop to discuss what just happened. Last night, he told me to stop reading because he had…
