Interest Level: K-3; Reading Level: 2.2

Do you have a special talent? One that could win you a school talent show?
Well, Penny sure thought that she knew her talent, but boy was she wrong. Penny started making a list of her talents but as she tried each one she had to mark them out because she wasn't quite as good as she thought. After tuba playing, juggling, yodeling, baton twirling, and jump roping didn't quite work out she had to become even more creative. When her next fifteen choices didn't pan out, Penny got a little upset and went to hide in the closet. She was not alone though, her dog, Jelly was there for her and they sat and sang together. Right then, Penny knew what she wanted to do for her talent, and it included Jelly. Will they win the talent show? Read this fun book to find out how this ends.

I love this book because it shows that it is okay to try different things and it's okay to fail. Penny learns not to give up even if you get down. Penny also learns what it means to have a best friend!

5 out of 5 Stars!!!!!

Have you ever wanted something so much that you would do just about anything to get it? Have you ever had a secret that you just didn't think you could share with anyone? In the second book from Jennier Weiner's amazing series, The Littlest Bigfoot, this is exactly what is happening with Alice and Millie. Alice needs to find out what and who she is. She has never felt like she belongs anywhere and now she wants answers as to why that is. Millie has always felt trapped and when she get her one chance at fame, will she have the nerve to take it? And then there is Jeremy. When Jeremy finds out the truth about Alice and Millie, will he do what is right or will he use it to make himself famous?
As expected, I couldn't put this book down. It is such an exciting continuation of the first book that you just have to keep reading to find out what is going to happen next. Warning: this book does keep you hanging and wanting the third book to read next. I can not wait for the third book to come out in this series.
