I love The X-Files, and this children’s book is a fun foray into kid-sized Mulder and Scully adventures.
The illustrations by Kim Smith are adorable. Little Fox and Dana are cute, but the aliens steal the show as far as I’m concerned. I love Little Green Men!
I’d recommend this for adult fans to read to the littles in their lives. Kids will like the surprise ending, but this longtime X-Files fan loves it for its kitschy appeal.
My stack of summer reading books is about 7 or 8 books deep and it’s stayed that way all summer. Every time I’d get through two or three books, three or four new ones would find their way there. It’s a good thing I like reading.
It’s a good thing I like reading good things.
Cue this adorable children’s book, A Reel Cool Summer, written by Martha Rodriguez and illustrated by her son, Joey Rodriguez.
It captures the wild imaginations of three adorably charming siblings, Joey, Danny, and Jacqui, and their brilliant plan for getting a swimming pool on a hot, boring day.
And it involves pirates, aliens, princesses, and…broccoli. Broccoli?! Well, it turns out Danny isn’t a fan of broccoli, either.
It’s perfect for a hot day, a rainy day, a snowy day, and especially, a boring day.
Kids will not only pass the time with a fun story, they just might get some creative ideas of their own.
