Stacked: A 32DDD Reports from the Front by Susan Seligson

Stacked: A 32DDD Reports From the Front by Susan Seligson. The book is a series of chapters that deal with the cultural obsession with breasts, their size, the surgical industry that has grown up around them (generally to make them bigger), the porn industry, and last the cross-dressing and what breasts mean in that context. The author tries to be humorous throughout the book and generally the jokes are so corny that for a woman reading the book, they are a distraction. Even so, I like her approach and I liked the book. However, it is incomplete and the author acknowledges that fact because she concludes there are no easy answers as to why breasts are such an obsession.… (more)

Amos, Ahoy!: A Couch Adventure on Land and Sea by Susan Seligson

Amos, is a dog that literally does EVERYTHING on his couch. He runs into the neighborhood bully so he tries to run from by running through the hot dog stand and through the entire city. While running from Chops, the bully, he ends up on a bridge an unto a ferry. This book was not that great to me because it was just very wild. I think children would like it though.

Amos by Susan Seligson

Genre: This book is a good example of fantasy. The events in this book are not possible, like a couch being able to be driven. Also, the dog on the couch would not be able to mentally understand how to drive the couch or follow the owners without being seen.

Plot: 5 stars

Age: Primary
