Good as New & Time to Brush (Bernd Penners, Henning Löhlein):
The Blossoming Bibliophiles: “If you have a toddler, these books are sure to be a hit!”
Leo and the Octopus (Isabelle Marinov, Chris Nixon):
Liberty Reads: “I loved that I read this book with my children and could strike up a conversation about what children with autism deal with WITHOUT a list of impersonal terms in the book that defined who Leo was because of autism”
Millie-Mae series (Natalie Marshall):
Meridian Magazine, "Newton's Book News: Book to Celebrate Father's Day & First of Summer": “The colors are bright, and Millie-Mae is adorable!”

Never Show a T. rex a Book (Rashmi Sirdeshpande, Diane Ewen):
PSLA Literature Review: “[T]his imaginative book portrays countless if/then scenarios that will delight young readers–and maybe even encourage them to envision some scenarios of their own.

The Perfect Fit (Naomi Jones, James Jones):
PSLA Literature Review: “[A]n excellent addition to any elementary collection. … could be used to introduce geometrical shapes and patterns, or it could be used to initiate a discussion about acceptance and inclusion. Pair it with other titles that celebrate diversity and differences …”
What a Wonderful Phrase (Nicola Edwards, Manu Montoya):
