February 18, 2014 By Jessica Filed Under: Book Review 4 Comments

If Dr. Seuss had ever written a chapter book, it would have come out like Fortunately, the Milk.  The illustrations were fun, detailed, and slightly strange.  The story was quirky and imaginative. It made my kids giggle a few times.  There were aliens and dinosaurs and a lot of other crazy characters in between.  It ... Read More »
