Karlie Lucas's children's books about Bob, a little dinosaur, are super cute and fun to read.
As the title of the first book suggests, Bob is a little dinosaur. Much smaller than all the other dinosaurs. And for that, they tease him, which saddens him. He wants to be big too. But along his journey to find a way to get bigger, he discovers something more important: just being yourself is not a bad thing at all. Big, small...it doesn't matter. I like that lesson for kids. It's a good one for them to know and understand.
In the second book, Bob has to try and find a way to bring back color to his world when a wizard steals it all. The color fairies refuse to help because Bob is different, but then he discovers a fairy who is different like him, and together they will try and bring back color to the now gray, bleak world.
Again, I liked the message of this book, proving that you can be different and that there's nothing wrong with that. Not everyone is the same, and no one should be turned away when help is required just because they might be different.
I enjoyed both books, and I thought the illustrations were cute. I'd recommend these stories to kids who are beginner readers and would like stories about a brave little dinosaur.
4 stars to each!

Ten Favorite desserts
1- Ice cream. Who doesn’t love ice cream? It’s like the standard go to
2 – Cheesecake. What’s not to love? Especially if it’s one of those Oreo ones.
3 – Coconut cream pie. I don’t normally go for coconut, but there’s just something about it in pie form that can’t be denied.
4 – Brownies. What can I say besides Chocolate?
5 – Blintzes. If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out. It’s like a crepe but not rolled, and it’s pan fried.
6 – Pudding, especially pistachio or cheesecake flavored, I mean, come on! It’s creamy. It’s rich. It’s prefect. And you can add in whatever you want.
7 – Cobbler, usually apple or peach. You’ve got that sweet crunchy stuff and that gooey filling. Yum.
8 – Chocolate Silk Pie. It’s Chocolate! In a graham cracker crust.
9 – Sugar Cookies, like the melt in your mouth coated with sugar kind, not the cheap tastes like flour stuff you get at the grocery store. Home made all the way!
10 – A Lie, if you don’t know what this is, you’re missing out. It’s a pie baked into a cake. (Some call it something along the lines of a cherpumpkin but my version’s better). Or if, you want to take it a step further, do a glacee pie backed into a giant brownie and decorate it like a cake to have a Conspiracy.)
