so-so

One of these things is not like the other! Didn't notice the 'based on the character' on the Guinea Pig one until I already had it home from the library. 🤦🏼‍♂️
No Roses for Harry seems a little more pointless than the last two I read about Harry: style preference rather than perception check. Didn't like that the story didn't confront people laughing at someone for the clothing they wore or why male didn't like floral/feminine cloth? 🙄 1/2

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 There's definitely some 1958 publication date gender stuff. I'm hoping there's a more relevant children's book version out there that would emphasize a being's right to choose what to wear, whether or not they liked roses, no matter how they identify. 🌹Harry and the Guinea Pig feels too much like an amalgam of children's stories I've read before, the fuss over who gets attention mashed up with a contrived mystery/adventure. Lost the charm of the originals. 🤷🏼‍♂️ 7mo

Jack is left with the three eggs and his mouth is watering... soon after, CRACK! The eggs hatch, and now Jack cannot make these into his perfect omelet!? He tries to hide from them but realizes nobody else is there a=to take care of them. Despite their differences, Jack realizes he must take care of these babies. 2y

Just got this book from the library and read it to my baby. He really loved the pictures, so talkative. And I loved it; teaching new information about birds in a cute way and thus so easy to remember. #library #readtoyourkids

No Roses for Harry! | Gene Zion

It's Harry's (Harry the Dirty Dog) birthday. Grandma has lovingly hand-knitted him a sweater. Although it is cosy and snug, it's covered in roses, so Harry decides it has to go - with hilarious consequences….
A child favorite! #sweater #gratefulharvest @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
