The Adventures of Lilly Nilly Pardon My French It's the Language of Ballet
critique
What an introduction to the world of dance and the French language. Nancy Paris is the writer and illustrator of this children's picture book. This is the story of a little girl by the name of Lilly Nilly and journey in learning ballet as well as some of the French language. This is a beginning chapter book in a way. Nancy's drawings shows and tells what Lilly's ideas of learning what ballet is about somewhat. The sketches are drawn using crayons and made the pictures appealing to children. Some of the French language she uses could cause some misinterpretations but this story makes it fun. It is also a good story to create an interest in the world of ballet and learning a new language. Each of the short chapters gives each level each level that Lilly lives through from learning the basic skills needed to performing and even seeing and learning what makes a good friend using humor.

Stephen Seagull is Bad
'Stephen Seagull is Bad' is a children's picture book written by Dawn Lippiatt. Stephen Seagull teaches what is good and bad. Dawn Lippiatt has written this book about a seagull named Stephen to live up to what his father seems to think how a seagull should behave. Stephen wants to make his father proud. Will he do it? Dawn has written a picture book that is quite descriptive in and on various behaviors exhibited by the main character of Stephen Seagull. The artwork seems to give me the impression of watercolors or even the use of pastels to give the readers the sense of a seaside environment and how seagulls live and act around others. The use of boldface words for emphasizing various words was a good technical device for young readers to understand the story. It could also be a good story to share about various cultures just by seeing some of the human characters and how they look.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Venezuela
By Leavie “Soul on Fire” Scott Her name was Nava, a 23‑year‑old shopkeeper’s daughter from Tehran, though she didn’t feel young anymore. Not after the week she had survived. Not after watching the value of Iran’s currency collapse so fast that shop windows changed prices twice a day. Not after seeing her father stand in his empty store and whisper, “I cannot afford to open tomorrow.”
