Scribble Scrabble: A Board Book of First Words and Shapes for Growing Minds (A Wishy Washy Sequel) by Tabitha Paige M.S. CCC-SLP and Paige Tate & Co. (Producer)

by 1 Comment

Combining the usual suspect shapes (circle, square) with more unusual ones (diamond, hexagon) Scribble Scrabble: A Board Book of First Words and Shapes for Growing Minds (A Wishy Washy Sequel) is a fun combination. Tabitha Paige, M.S., CCC-SLP and Paige Tate & Co. (Producer) made an overall toned story that is sweet, silly, and educational. It is all compacted into a smaller picture book that is good for smaller hands. The images are delightful and have a humor that adults can appreciate. I read via […]

Carrots Give Me the Hiccups (if I eat them too fast)

Carrots Make Me Suspicious by Robin Mitchell Cranfield

by Leave a Comment

Carrots Make Me Suspicious by Robin Mitchell Cranfield is about how the picky eater of the rabbit family finally finds a way to like carrots. Our picky eater is probably autistic, due to how sounds and textures affect them, but honestly it can be about anyone who is a bit worried about trying new foods or is in general, a cautious, or picky, eater. There was not a “wow” factor, so I never really fell wildly love or anything, but I enjoyed it. Things are […]

What Rhymes with Pterodactyl?: The Worst Rhyming Book Ever by Raj Haldar and WeLove Studio

by Leave a Comment

October 2026 will see What Rhymes with Pterodactyl?: The Worst Rhyming Book Ever by Raj Haldar and WeLove Studio. This is the latest book in the P Is for Pterodactyl: The Worst Alphabet Book Ever series. The alphabet book is still my favorite, but this time we have another fun read that is not your everyday, basic rhyming book. Ptolemy the Pterodactyl loves poetry and rap and combines the two by using slant rhyme and internal rhyme to make things like orange actually have a real […]

Nature Adventures with Bompa V02: Bompa's Intertidal Adventure by David Suzuki, Sarika Cullis-Suzuki, Tanya Lloyd Kyi, and Qin Leng

by Leave a Comment

I went to copy and paste my (if I do say so myself) fantastic review of Nature Adventures with Bompa V02: Bompa’s Intertidal Adventure by David Suzuki, Sarika Cullis-Suzuki, Tanya Lloyd Kyi, and illustrator Qin Leng (read via an online reader copy, due in September 2026). And because my hands were not working/I  was not completely ready to do so, I deleted my entire review.  My last review for Bingo and POOF! Away it went!  Now, the good thing is I got to read it […]

Baby University: Black Holes for Babies by Chris Ferrie and Julia Kregenow PhD

by Leave a Comment

Black Holes for Babies by Chris Ferrie and Julia Kregenow PhD (read via an online reader and due in November 2026) would be great for up to second grade or to help an older student organize their thoughts and understanding on the subject. However, if it is like others I have seen in the Baby University series, the slightly oversized board book format might turn those older readers off. However, I am not positive of the final form and hope the adults (parent, teacher, aunt, […]

Twelve months and Cornbread, the turkey friend of November

Meet December by April Martin

Meet July by April Martin

The Calendar Kids Meet January  Meet February Meet March  Meet April  Meet May  Meet June  Meet July Meet August:  Meet September  Meet October  Meet November Meet December When I first started to write a review for the The Calendar Kids series, I hadn’t read Meet November. (One would think finding 12 books by April Martin would be easy, but nope!) But right before I posted this review I read November. I think Cornbread is my favorite named friend, but I still lean towards that February […]
