A Flash of Red ~Book Review~
A Flash of Red By: Judith Blevins and Carroll Multz 3 Stars This is a very cute, but odd book. One major problem is it has many words and references that children would not quite understand, but it's too boring for older children. Basically, I don't believe it fits an age range. I also completely despise the … Continue reading A Flash of Red ~Book Review~
