Review
February Friend is the second Calendar Mysteries book, a quick and cute Valentine's Day story involving a mysterious bunny. Like its predecessor series, A to Z Mysteries, it's a book set in the fictional town of Green Lawn, a place where 1950s small town charm meets the modern world. There's really not much to the story and it's not fascinating literature by any means, but I definitely enjoyed it (though I'm sure it helps that I have such nostalgia for the Green Lawn universe).
I definitely recommend the to young readers and parents reading with their children who aren't quite yet ready to tackle chapter books on their own. If you have a young child that you're thinking of introducing to the Green Lawn universe, I'd say that's the biggest difference between whether you should start with Calendar Mysteries or A to Z Mysteries: how prepared is your child for chapter books? If they've been reading them for a while, I recommend starting with A to Z, which was published first. If they're new to the format, however, I recommend Calendar, which has shorter and tamer mysteries aimed at slightly younger children.
