Caveboy Crush by Beth Ferry
This Caveboy has a crush. And boy does he have it bad! Neander is your typical kid: chases mammoth butterflies; plays with his pet rock, Rock; fishes and more. In fact, it is when he is fishing that he catches a glimpse of the most amazing, perfectly hairy gal. He would do anything to get Neanne’s attention. It is not until a comment from his mother to his father that Neander gets an idea on how to act on this thing called Crush. Caveboy Crush […]
Baby's First Chinese New Year by DK Publishing
Who Loves Boo? by Salina Yoon
When you have two books that are 14 and 18 pages long, you really cannot write a 250-word review for each one, even with a creative writing background and know how to be flowery! Therefore, a combination review: I am not a Valentine’s gal. I like Chinese New Years instead. I do not go “all out,” but like some traditions. In DK Publishing’s Baby’s First Chinese New Year we have an easy introduction. Normally I would not count this a book, as there is not a […]
L Is for Love: A Heartfelt Alphabet by Greg Paprocki
L is for Love: A Heartfelt Alphabet is one of those odd little gems that looks like it is from 1950 but is very 2018. The illustrations show you the alphabet of love and friendship.

In fact, the P is for Poetry shows the girl reciting “How do I love thee?” (Or I assume she is…. She is kneeling, with paper in hand, boy […]
Robot in Love by T. L. McBeth
Another Valentine’s Day book review with a few spoilers. Robot in Love looks like it might be a modern fairy tale. There is a Cinderella like robot on the cover and why not? However, it does turn into a story more about tolerance to love. The robot sees the loveliest creature for afar. As you go along, you learn they are shiny. The most lovely thing they have seen. And, of course, the robot is too shy to talk to her. The illustrations do show […]
Mirabel's Missing Valentines by Janet Lawler
This review will have a few spoilers. Best part of Valentine’s Day is the chocolate. And the books. In that order. (Priorities my friends; priorities.) If you are looking for an alternative to giving your sweetheart, child or classroom candy for this day, you can try this new story. This is an adorable book. Mirabel’s Missing Valentines is a sweet new story about friendship love, trying and doing your best. Mirabel is a sweet character. Not only is she a mouse, but a very traditional […]
Click, Clack, Moo I Love You Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin and your collaborations! Yes, this was a Valentine’s Day book, but if you are like me, you try and have fun with things during “not holiday times.” Like me listening to Christmas Carols in July. Or if January 2nd has gone by and I have not found my Halloween costume I am very late. And with Click, Clack, Moo, I Love You, you can celebrate love throughout the year. Plus, this is just a […]
