Fate of Perfection by K.F. Breene

By
Brief synopsis (no spoilers):
The earth is run by 3 massive companies (conglomerates). The government is essentially powerless. People are bred to be certain types of workers. Most low-level workers are clones, most high-level workers are natural born, but all are genetically engineered. A group of geniuses is chosen to breed, in hopes that they will create a more evolved generation, with better natural tech integration. That happens, but Millicent becomes attached to her baby, and decides to fight to keep her. That's not supposed to happen- most mothering instinct has been bred out of workers.

Category:
Fiction, maybe Sci-Fi

Why I chose this book:
Kindle first from a while ago

My personal opinion:
This story started out fantastically. I loved the first half of it. And I would have loved the entire thing, but the second half was very disappointing. The constant sexual innuendo was cute and fun banter at first, and then became tiresome and then disgusting. The language started fine, but became terrible. I do not recommend this book to anyone! And I'm not going to continue the series. Side warning: when multiple people are involved in a spoken conversation, generally the participants jump around in time and context. The author remains true to reality in writing, so conversations are challenging to follow, but also more fun to wade through. Some might enjoy that, others might find it confusing.

Warnings
Language: Not until the last fourth of the book, but then yes, f-bombs a'plenty!
Violence: Frequent, and generally graphic
"Adult" situations: Two situations, both fairly graphic; innuendo absolutely rampant throughout
Death: Frequent, but not major characters

Movie rating equivalent:
R

Protagonist description:
Ryker was bred to be a Director in the security department, and is very muscular and adept at fighting. Millicent was bred to be a weapons expert- she's a genius and very fit, and also adept at fighting.

Point of view of story:
Third

Book length:
Medium-long

Story flow:
Excellent, very fast-paced

Grammar and spelling issues:
None

Character connection (no spoilers):
None

Tap the Magic Tree by Christie Matheson

By
Summary: Every book needs you to turn the pages. But not every book needs you to tap it, shake it, jiggle it, or even blow it a kiss. Innovative and timeless, Tap the Magic Tree asks you to help one lonely tree change with the seasons. It begins with a bare brown tree. But tap that tree, turn the page, and one bright green leaf has sprouted! Tap again—one, two, three, four—and four more leaves have grown on the next page. Pat, clap, wiggle, jiggle, and see blossoms bloom, apples grow, and the leaves swirl away with the autumn breeze. (Amazon) Attention Span/reading level: Perfect for my three year old. I would say that ages 2-10 would really enjoy something like this. It really keeps kids engaged and makes them feel like part of the story. There is one word to one sentence per page. Good uses for book in teaching: Interaction, that the reader takes part in making the story, what a tree can do (leaves, blossoms, fruit) Favorite part:      Child: The fact that ...

Balancing Act by Ellen Stoll Walsh

By
Summary: Two mice make a teeter totter. Soon a frog comes along and wants to join. Can the mice balance all the friends who want to play with them? Attention Span/reading level: 3-6 years old, usually 5 or less words on a page Good uses for book in teaching: Balance, science Favorite part:      Child: When the frog joins in     Mine: That the mice keep playing at the end  Least favorite part: None:   W arnings/negative feedback: None.  Review: This is a really simple but fun way to introduce the idea of balancing and weight to kids. It's fun to show them how it must be equal on each side to balance. Showing that size can affect weight is shown on the page where all the animals are on one side with the big bird on the other. This could be a fun activity to replicate with toys if doing a science lesson at home.
