Happy valentines day to all of you here. Hope you all have a special day
4 ⭐I love these books. They‘re sweet. They‘re funny. They‘re understandable and almost always have a lesson. But the nice thing is the lesson isn‘t browbeating the reader. It puts it in a way that kids will get and kids will want to ape. I get excited every time I see there‘s a new one so Ben Clayton, please keep them coming.
4 ⭐ This book was fun. It rhymes well, but the cadence is all over the place. It wants to be in a pattern, but it‘s not very good at keeping that pattern. However, the kids are going to love the story and will laugh at mom and dad or the storyteller as they trip over the lines. The illustrations are bright and fun, and a perfect match to the story. My one complaint is the letter at the beginning of the book. That should be moved to the end.

Thank you to @Texreader @TheBookHippie @FromMyLectory @Pogue and @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks for the holiday joy! Mail is slowly getting back to normal 😁
I‘m about to whistle through some picture books by celebrity authors for #BBRC. Count yourself warned.
This was gorgeous and gorgeously odd. One of those where the pictures couldn‘t be more perfect for the text. A tale to read aloud for older picture book readers (5-8 maybe).
A mysterious old lady comes to stay in Mabel‘s parents B&B. Despite a rocky start, they end up sailing pirate ships, meeting mermaids, and becoming firm friends.
So many lovely, thoughtful birthday treasures from @LeahBergen 😍
I remember Calling All Girls!/Young Miss—it‘ll be so much fun to read one again. The vintage ballet book is adorable, and this is a BLWW I‘ve been wanting to read.
❤️ the goodies in the Betsy-Tacy pencil pouch! The Deep Valley card is absolutely frameable. I hope Nicky & Sadie don‘t get any ideas about cooking from the other cute card. 😹
Thank you so much for everything! 😘
I was delighted to pick up this lovely hardcover/library discard edition of this book, which is the sequel to The Alley. Both written and set about 8 years after the original story, the main character is one of the younger siblings of The Alley's characters. This one was a little more implausible, but still a super fun story and one that I would have LOVED as a kid. These are both fabulous read-aloud books and as cute as they can be.
I have a lot memories of Dad reading this one out loud to us when we were growing up, but I don't think I had read it since! It's a pretty adorable story about a group of kids who live in a little cul de sac alley neighborhood. The main story is that there is a robbery, but there are a lot of little side stories and it's all such good fun.
