Children’s picture book reviews part two 🪁📚🧸

B is for Belonging by Shannon Anderson (publish date August 5) This book teaches such a beautiful outtake on life and what is so important. “A is for when you accept others without judging them and don’t ask them to change” The concepts, the illustrations, the conversations to come from reading this book, and the takeaway was incredible. Every preschool should begin the year with this book. Phenomenally done! @teachercreatedmaterial

100 Words from the Street by Sesame Workshop (publish date is September 30) Such a fun interactive book, and wonderful for this key words to help your little one learn and express to you. My son loved the pictures, and has read it over and over! Highly recommend. @sesameworkshop

The World is Awaiting You by Marianne Richmond (publish date is September 2) It’s in my Amazon cart already for preorder. This book is so precious, and teaches kids to be themselves and have their own spark in this world! To shine bright, and never change what they love! I can’t wait to have this as a staple bedtime story in our home. This would make a beautiful gift! @mariannerichmondwriter @sourcebookskids

The I Can Say Goodnight Book by Stephanie Cohen (publish date is September 30) Created by a speech pathologist, this book is adorable and helps with early speech! My son loves this book. I always want to make sure we are introducing the right words, the right ways, and this is wonderfully put together! @learntotalkwithme @sourcebookskids

Pasta These are Fun Names to Say by Felice Ariana (publish date September 30) My kids giggled and giggled with this book! Such a fun bedtime story book. @felice.arianna

Athletes Who Changed the Game by James Buckley (publish date August 5) My son absolutely devoured this book! Such a fun book for kids to follow along with sports. A great book to hold their attention, and have fun conversations with. @buxtagram @sourcebookskids

A Little Extra Jayne by Summer Adamson (publish date September 23) Every girl needs this book. This is the most precious story, with the most quaint illustrations. The story was so heart felt. Beautifully done! @a_little_extra_jayne

As a pasta lover, this book is great! Love that it discusses all the kinds of pasta (there are so many). The illustrations are cute! Loved the pronunciation inclusion at the end if the book. And this book definitely makes you hungry for some pasta

PASTA! This gives "toddler coffee book" vibes and I love it. Tiny chefs will love hearing all the different pasta names. We'll be adding this to our collection for our toddler's kitchen play area!

As an Italian-American with little kids, I really liked this book. The illustrations are amazing, and the pasta names really are fun to say! I was hoping for a little more plot, but overall super cute.

(4/5 stars) This book is so cute! I love all the different types of pasta included in the book and I can imagine turning this book into a cute little song as a bedtime story. The art style and composition is so fun. I wish that each page had showed all of the specific types of pasta it referenced or that there was a bit of plot, but overall a cute book that would be fun to share with your carb-loving toddler.

First off, am I the only person alive who didn't know there were a bazillion different types of pasta? I love it when a children's book is fun to read but also educational, and this one helps us old folks learn something new too. The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching, and I love the rhyming and play on words throughout the story. I know our littlest library patrons would get a huge kick out of this book. I would recommend it to everyone.

Not my favorite. It felt like very little storytelling - only listing different pasta names. While I understand the sentiment it didn’t feel like it made a story.
