The Berenstain Bears Color by Sticker : Create 12 Pictures with Stickers, Plus Games, Activities, and More! by Mike Berenstain

by Leave a Comment

HomeI am probably the only person who would write a review about The Berenstain Bears Color by Sticker : Create 12 Pictures with Stickers, Plus Games, Activities, and More! book for this group. Mike Berenstain has created an activity book that includes stickers, word searches and more. I am not sure how the final book will look (how large, quality of the paper) or what the stickers are like, as I found (of all things) an online copy of it. However, the activities seem right up the […]

The Baby-Changing Station by Rhett Miller

by Leave a Comment

Forty odd years ago I was asked if I wanted a baby brother or sister. I said sister. I named my new baby doll Baby Sister.  I was into it.  Few weeks after the ol’ sibling came I looked at my mom and said, “Send her back. I want a brother.” I was informed it didn’t work that way. But if I had The Baby-Changing Station like our character in this Rhett Miller book, I would have picked the guitar. Whatever do you mean? You […]

Words of Wonder from Z to A by Zaila Avant-Garde

by Leave a Comment

When you want an alphabet book but not a traditional one you need Words of Wonder from Z to A by Zaila Avant-Garde and Keisha Morris. This book is terribly sophisticated and not easily read in one sitting or if you are not in a quiet, comfortable setting. If you are looking for a modern read that does not do A is for Apple, or O is for Olive the color and food, this book by Avant-garde works well. Of course, you must wait until […]

Stepping Stones: A Refugee Family’s Journey by Margriet Ruurs

by Leave a Comment

While the story presented in Stepping Stones: A Refugee Family’s Journey, is fantastic it is the art that really blew me away. It is an experience book that you must experience on your own, without any real background, to fully understand the delicateness of it all.  Margriet Ruurs found the artwork of Nizar Ali Badr online and found the artist after a lot of twists and turns. Long story short (you can read the story in the book), they collaborated. And Stepping Stones was born. […]

I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story by Mark Pett

by Leave a Comment

You might not want to recommend this book out loud in a group of mixed company as you will get a few looks, giggles, and teasing. I Eat Poop: A Dung Beetle Story is your “kid eats an odd food, is afraid he will be teased like (you will learn as we go along) his ex-best friend, and the lesson he learns about being himself.”  This time it is just with a dung beetle and other creatures. There is kid humor, and at the end […]

You have to pick a book or two

Wombat Said Come In by Carmen Agra Deedy

Two White Rabbits by Jairo Buitrago

by Leave a Comment

Picture book round up time! Both these books can be for any age, however, there are sensitive issues that might not be for everyone. Wombat Said Come In is a multiple layered story. It is about friendship, loss and even about limits. Wombat is sitting down when he hears a knock, a friend is in need. The land is on fire and one by one the knocks on the door find another friend in need. Of course, maybe a bit hesitantly (especially when the house […]
