I love the show and I enjoyed this - but I don't think it translates well into book. I've seen the two episodes in question and vaguely remember how they went and it follows it pretty faithfully but I don't think this would appeal to anyone but fans. A lot of Liv and Maddie is very visual and very aural and saying what-what? or Bam. What?! has a much stronger impact that writing it. It doesn't really make much sense written. Like it does, if you've seen the show but it still feels kind of flat. And if you haven't seen the show, you'll be wondering what the hell is going on. Still it was a lighthearted read and a refresher for fans of the show. 2 stars for me, 3 stars for target audience.… (mehr)

This factual book provides great visuals and information on small animals. This book has many bright and colorful pictures on every page. This helps to visualize what you are reading about. It also helped to engage me in what I was reading about. The book is about small animals and some of the pictures compared the size of animals to a familiar object like a finger or a pencil. This enhances the idea of the animals being “Teeny Tiny” and pulls the reader into the text. The information in the book is easy to follow, there was not an overload of information on any animal. This helped me to focus only on a few things and still stay engaged. There were a lot of animals in the book, so if there was a lot of information too it would have been overwhelming. Also, the text focused on the size of the animals or appearance, which aligned with the title. It is important for informational texts to align with the title.… (mehr)
