Emily Saw a Door by Mel Rosenberg

Robin and the Stick by E. B. Goodale

by Leave a Comment

Recently two books (one due mid April 2026, the other late February/early April 2026; both read via an online reader) I read did not “grab me” in the way I had hoped. They were nice, but I was not the audience for them. I figure that probably a toddler to about six or so would be a good reach. They would be good bedtime stories or just relaxing stories. Both have interesting concepts and deal with self-confidence and imagination. Both have their own distinct style […]

Recently I received an envelope from Barefoot Press. (I might have cackled, “MINE! MINE! ALL MINE!” I get emotional when my book dealer comes through for me with a fix. And what a fix it was.)

I went home, curled up on the couch and started with the board books. The first was Baby Play (Bilingual […]

Raise the spirits

Fitz and Cleo Put a Party by Jonathan Stutzman

by Leave a Comment

I am usually not a huge Fitz and Cleo fan, though I do enjoy them. And even though Cleo can have a lot of “muchness” to her, they are sweet characters that are familiar and cozy. However, even though Cleo is still unapologetically herself (a bit naughty, mischievous, and a smidgen bossy), this book, Fitz and Cleo Put a Party on It was terribly pleasantly sweet and the perfect amount of silly. It is probably my favorite out of the books I have read of this brother and sister […]

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 […]
