This book fails to introduce the character to young readers in a meaningful way, nor does it have anything new to say about love. A novelty purchase at best.
These photographs of baby animals in nature have the charm, warmth, and comfort of Anne Gutman and Georg Hallensleben’s Mommy Hugs and Daddy Kisses and will have busy human toddlers slowing down for another read. Highly recommended.
Both metaphor and meditation, this touching, lovely story is a conversation-opener between children and caregivers dealing with loss; it recognizes the need to be alone, as well as the merits and comfort of finding one’s way to loved ones.
With rhyming text, appealing cartoonish dinos, and plenty of opportunities to build in movement, this dino dance book could be a hit at preschool story times, and it celebrates intergenerational relationships.
This charming-but-not-preachy story could be a real conversation starter for preschoolers and elementary students, and encourage budding environmentalists and climate activists; recommended.
