I am Jim Henson (Ordinary People Change the World)

I don't technically own this book, but I've read it at the bookstore. This tells the tale of Jim Henson's childhood and all of his successful characters along the way. Jim has gone through a lot of rejection for his creations, but made a huge difference in kids' entertainment today.

101 Movies to See Before You Grow Up
By Suzette Valle
This book gives you summaries and facts about 101 classic movies. I really enjoyed reading about the first Muppets movie and other musicals. I also liked the animated movies, including the Disney ones. It's my second favorite of the series, after 101 TV Shows To See Before You Grow Up.
Adrift
By Paul Griffin
I found Adrift after a desperate search of my library for a book that might heal a bit of the heartbreak from the ending of the Throne of Glass series., and since it was short and had a decent-looking storyline, I grabbed it and started reading. You can't go wrong with a book about five teens stranded at sea with no hope of survival, right? WRONG. Don't get me wrong, I like a fast-paced book, but Adrift was had a blink-and-you'll-miss-it plot. It felt like the author just tossed the story upon you without a second thought for character development. It definitely would have done better as a longer novel. But I have to give Mr. Griffin credit; the story is what it claims to be and nothing less. It was realistic in gristly details and had an ending that just sums up how life goes: The main characters don't always get the girl, not everyone lives, and it's not always just forgive-and-forget. I found Adrift in the teen section, but anyone could read it. It's only 228 pages, so I didn't lose much, but this book didn't leave me feeling like I'd gained anything, either.
Monsters University Fearbook
By Disney Book Group, Calliope Glass
I got this book on amazon.com. It was an awesome find! The illustrations are pretty cute. I like the classes sections, including Art's philosophy class and side note. I also liked pages 60-61 with the college's events. There were also cute pictures of Team Oozma Kappa and Randy in there.
