pickA super cute fantasy picture book with engaging page layouts and lots to discover. The story is fairly standard, but I think kids will remember the illustrations and comic-like layout. #PictureBook #Fantasy #Family

pickMy campaign to read all the robot books in my local library continues...🤪
Standouts here were the beautiful cut paper silhouette art in Can you find my robot's arm? The adventure montages in the very sweet The Little Wooden Robot and the The Log Princess, and attention to accuracy in depicting planets (see author's note) in The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot. 🤖
I'm excited, this got nominated for the 2023 Washington Children's Choice Picture Book Award. #WCCPBA #underthedustcover
so-soI love Tom Gauld's work for its style and wit. The style is here in spades but the wit is mostly missing, having been replaced by sentiment. If you're familiar with his previous work, you're going to notice a change.
pickBeautiful fairy tale with unexpected twists. Were the vignettes of side adventures possible sequels to come? I hope so! #everybodybooks #gazingbooks
pick@moll and I had to stop and read this gorgeous picture book by the great Tom Gauld on our Christmas foyles pilgrimage. This was cute, quirky, soulful and funny and had the most gorgeous illustrations - if I knew any children in need of Christmas presents I would absolutely get them this!

I leave you with the witch‘s home; thus concluding my posts about this delightfully whimsical book.
Here is one of my favorite illustrations: the royal inventor‘s workshop.
Nothing but love for this book!
The #EndPapers are giving me Waldo vibes.
pick1. I love picture books.
2. I love Tom Gauld.
3. This is the best picture book I have read in a while. The inside flap promised many adventures for such a tiny book, but Tom Gauld delivered in a very Tom-Gauldian way.
The story is so lovely! And the last illustration had me laughing so loud and for so long that @BookishMarginalia , who was trying to work, got a bit annoyed with me.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
