Five Starred Reviews
From an award-winning author and illustrator comes this picture book biography about beloved librarian and storyteller Augusta Braxton Baker, the first Black coordinator of children's services at all branches of the New York Public Library.
Before Augusta Braxton Baker became a storyteller, she was an excellent story listener. Her grandmother brought stories like Br'er Rabbit and Arthur and Excalibur to life, teaching young Augusta that when there's a will, there's always a way. When she grew up, Mrs. Baker began telling her own fantastical stories to children at the 135th Street branch of the New York Public Library in Harlem. But she noticed that there were hardly any books at the library featuring Black people in respectful, uplifting ways. Thus began her journey of championing books, writers, librarians, and teachers centering Black stories, educating and inspiring future acclaimed authors like Audre Lorde and James Baldwin along the way.
As Mrs. Baker herself put it: "Children of all ages want to hear stories. Select well, prepare well and then go forth and just tell."

Keeps My Dog Busy and Happy
Great toy for active dogs! The motion feature keeps my dog entertained for a long time and helps with boredom. Easy to use and surprisingly durable.

Cute toy for the pets
A cute interactive pet toy. You turn it on by screwing off the top, and it has 3 different modes and flashing lights. The ropes are separate and you tie them on the top. It rolls and moves around on the floor at different speeds depending on which mode and flashes different colored lights. It seems durable. My cat likes it more than the dog, but my dog is an older girl who doesn't play much. Most dogs would probably like it. It's rechargeable, so no batteries, and you can apparently use a bluetooth connection to download more sounds, etc. It's basically just chirps now and then.
Overall a great toy for bored pets. Not a superlight toy- has a little weight to it so it rolls around, and the ropes flop around.

Durable Interactive Dog Toy with Bluetooth Sounds – Perfect for Dogs Who Love Cat-Style Toys
This interactive dog toy is surprisingly durable and very engaging, especially for dogs that love cat-style toys. My dog is obsessed with cat toys and also always wants to destroy something, so this toy is a perfect match. The Bluetooth sound feature makes it even more fun and interactive.
Pros
• Very durable main body made of hard plastic; my dog hasn’t been able to destroy it
• Great for dogs that like “mouser-style” toys
• Bluetooth feature lets you play animal sounds or music (I use Spotify dog playlists)
• Three different modes and very easy to switch
• Interactive and mentally stimulating
• Comes with two replaceable ropes, which I’m really happy about
Cons
• The ropes don’t last long for strong chewers
• The top part where the rope is attached can be chewed
Overall
Honestly, if there weren’t any parts my dog could destroy, he probably wouldn’t find the toy interesting. That’s why I’m actually happy it comes with two ropes that I can attach and replace. The ropes are inexpensive and easy to swap out, so it’s not really a downside for us. Overall, this is a fun and clever toy that keeps my dog entertained. 🐶

Great for 2 Days…see comments
So it’s great toy and had our dog entertained immediately. However probably won’t last very long with medium to large dogs that gets obsessed with killing every toy you give them. Our Pitt mix loved this until she ended it by chewing through the heavy plastic ring that keeps the ropes connected. Without the noted ropes attached, the toy cannot move around. Basically ending the fun. Would be great to start a puppy or smaller dog on. It has multiple modes and is noise and proximity activated. Our dog was obsessed but sadly it was no match for her. 3 stars only because it didn’t last more than two days with our dog.
