A QUICK LOOK AT SOME OF OUR MOST RECENT REVIEWS (UPDATED 10/8/2021)
Beast Feast (Emma Yarlett):
Kids Lit is Lit: “Beast Feast had my kids laughing from the first pages! …I love that this could easily be used in a Halloween collection but is still not so spooky that it’s appropriate year round and not just seasonally.”
Dragon Post (Emma Yarlett):
Kids Lit is Lit: “These are the kind of stories that if you have limited shelf space… you make room for in your permanent collection.”
I Can Do It! (Patricia Hegarty, Hilli Kushnir):
Big Books for Little Hands: This book is perfect for building self-help and fine motor skills.”
Little Cub Literacy: “Kiddos eager to showcase independence will love this book that allows them to learn and practice five different types of fasteners! PERFECT FOR PRE-K!”
Leo and the Octopus (Isabelle Marinov, Chris Nixon):
Unpacking the Power of Picture Books: "This story has so much going for it in fostering empathy and awareness of neurodivergent children, but it is much more than that. Even with the neon orange color accents, the tone and pace of the text and the images create a subdued, supportive, and engaging structure for readers of all kinds to dive right in to the story, and into the discussions it could spark."
Storymamas: “This sweet book gives readers a different perspective and shows them how sometimes what is ok for some might not be for others. I read this book with my own kids and we had a great discussion about how we all feel differently in typical day to day situations.”
Luna Loves Dance (Joseph Coelho, Fiona Lumbers):
Storymamas: “[A] celebration of movement and giving all you got!”
Mom Read It: “Facing fears, embracing joy, and knowing that you are good enough are beautifully conveyed. … Embrace joy and read this one to your little ones.”
Perfect Fit (Naomi Jones, James Jones):
Unleashing Readers: “I love so much about this book! … Math AND SEL?! What a wonderful combo for an elementary classroom!”
What a Wonderful Phrase (Nicola Edwards, Manu Montoya):
The Blossoming Bibliophiles: “I love that in addition to their English translations, all the phrases are also written in their native language along with a pronunciation guide. … What ultimately makes this book really shine are the gorgeous illustrations that accompany each phrase, bringing them to life!”
