Words I didn‘t expect to read in a picture book in general and in a Snow White retelling featuring minature ponies in particular : “I‘m a tax attorney” 🤭
pick3 ⭐When you have a kid that won‘t go to sleep, and you tell him to count sheep this is the book you get. Our little person is determined not to go to sleep, and their mom says count the sheep. When they get to 68 the sheep does not want to be counted. And the kid gets to experience what mom experiences when it‘s time to go to bed. This book was fine.
pickThis adorable little book is about a little girl who goes out one night with her grandmother to see the moon. They blow kisses to it, and when it begins to snow, the child thinks the moon is blowing kisses of its own, back to her. A magical, lighthearted book for anyone who loves the cold, snow, and moonlit nights. 🌨️🌚❄️

Two bunnies, one named Pip one made named Bun are outside. Pip wants to read, and Bun wants to play. But stories are boring, so Bun doesn‘t want to read with Pip. But Pip is a smart bunny and finds a perfect way to convince Bun that stories are fun. Altogether this was a perfect read. The story was lovely. This is a book librarians will read over and over again.

This is a sweet book. It made me tear up and filled my heart with joy. Book 20 of the year.
Book swap presents for the little people in my life from earlier this month when I went to visit them on holiday on the central coast.

This book is a master class in wordless storytelling. This book is about a dog that needs to be walked, and the kid that doesn‘t want to walk them. Unlike some books where every single page is different this book both has one and double page illustrations as well as a page of graphic novel, like illustrations that move the smaller points of the story through faster.
pick4 ⭐ This is a wonderful look. It‘s about various types of plants and a little girl who receives new ones frequently. The rhyme that tells the story is well done and perfect for the audience. The little plant tags with the types of plants are a genius idea that goes perfect with the story.
so-so2.5 ⭐This book is half done. The author does a decent job rhyming and while this story has a cadence there was about four cadences that the author switches around. The illustrations feel old-fashioned but at the same time go well with the story. However, the story ends in the middle of nowhere. It feels like the book isn‘t finished. However if it were to get an ending, it would probably be too long.
