We love beaches! So my son and I had an enjoyable time following Lily and Milo's checklist for the beach. We followed their adventure and now my son cannot get enough of Lily and Milo!

Thanks to Netgalley, Pauline Oud, and Clavis Publishing for the ARC.

Summer with Lily and Milo by Pauline Oud. I love the adventures of Lily and Milo. I would definitely buy for my granddaughter as soon as she is old enough. Seen Texas summer are hot you could change the words a little to a story about going to the pool. I love the pictures and the interaction of the words such as what items would you take to the pool?

Absolutely  adorable story following  Lily and Milo.  As they get ready to have adventure at the beach. Liked the checklist aspect of the book. My children loved the characters and cannot wait to read more about Lily and Milo.

Lily and Milo are going to the beach because that is what you do when its hot outside. All the things you see and do at the beach becomes a new discovery. A discovery that you can go on with your toddler and bring back home.

Lily and Milo are friendly and will become a new friend in your household.

A Special thank you to Clavis Publishing and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review.

In this book, the toddlers can learn basic beach vocabulary, it's pretty simple and cute. 
The illustrations are pretty and fun. 
In general, the whole book is cute. 

The reason why it is a no, for me, is because the protection of marine life is very important, therefore, it is necessary not to change the ecosystems and Lily, taking the shells, damages an ecosystem that already has problems in their survival.

Really cute and fun book about summer! The illustrations are adorable. This book would help teach children what we wear as the seasons change. Also, it would help them learn what they'd need to pack on a day to the beach. This would be a great book to read prior to a beach vacation or any child who's favorite season is summer. Great for 3-5 year olds.

This is a book about the celebration of summer fun!  Lily and Milo slip into their bathing suits, pack their beach paraphernalia and off they go to the beach.  On the way there they gather juicy cherries to munch and view some very tall sunflowers.  

After they arrive at their destination they of course put on protective sunscreen.  As the day progresses they spot a school of fish and a little crab, build a sandcastle, and gather the prettiest sea shells to take home in their bucket.  They cap off the day by cooling down with their favourite flavour of ice cream.  Yum, then time to depart and go home!  

 The author ends this sweet story with a surprise which I think all little readers will get a giggle out of.  This is a simple interactive story about summer. It is intended for toddlers ages 24 months and up, with focus on the child's world.   I highly recommend it.

Lily and Milo go to the beach.  What a fun book to read in the summer!   The illustrations are bright, cute and very well done.  The story is easy to follow for kids.  I really liked that the author asked questions so that your child could point to items in the book to help with learning.  It would be fun to have a whole series of Lily and Milo adventure books.

Summer with Lily and Milo by Pauline Oud tells the story of two animal friends going to the beach begins with packing for the trip.  This was my favorite part because it gives a chance to ask questions about what the animals would wear at the beach.  The story continues and shows all of the fun that is had at the beach.  I think this would be a perfect book to share with little ones who are heading to the beach for the first time.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. 

This is a simple and cute book for young readers. The questions in the book allow young readers to engage with the story. Would be great as a bedtime story or to read before getting ready for a beach trip.

A cute story of two friends heading to the beach and the reader gets to help them decide what they need to bring. A good read aloud before or after a beach trip with little ones.

Summer with Lily and Milo is a cute book that teaches young kids how to prepare for the beach.  While reading the book, children will learn what they to take to the beach, what they may encounter on the way to the beach, and the things they can do at the beach.  The illustrations are also fun.  This book would be perfect for a classroom or library story time.  Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read this book.  (This review is also on GoodReads.)

This was a cute story with some fun artwork throughout. The first page of the book really threw me off though. I know Lily is a rabbit, but I thought it was inappropriate to have her without a top on. Inappropriate for the kids reading this and in front of her friend Milo! Maybe I am old school, but I thought she should have a shirt on! Other than that I really enjoyed this.

I received this copy from NetGalley, so I don't know if this is just a really early version of the book, but the actual execution has some issues--the format is wonky on Kindle, and there was at least one portion where the sentences were out of order.  Most picture books I read (and I do read a lot due to having kids under 8) and very few of them have separate text and illustrations--I do have my font set fairly big on this device so that may have led to some of the wonkiness.  It made the story a bit hard to read.

The story itself is very cute, and my girls enjoyed it.  They're like most little kids and love any story that involves anthropomorphic animals.  A good book for kids, but maybe pick this one up as a print edition instead of the kindle one.  I will definitely keep an eye out for more Lily and Milo books!

So cute! Bright bold illustrations to attract the littlest readers, and plenty of opportunities to ask interactive questions during story time. Definitely recommended, great for reading out loud, and the littlest readers will love it.

Thanks to NetGalley and Clavis Publishing for the opportunity to read this book in return for my honest opinion.

A very successful book to share with toddlers starts with lists of items of clothing this rabbit and mouse pair might have on to go to the beach, and lists of things they might take.  It then becomes a very quick adventure, as they have fun, lose sight of each other, and then give us a warm, funny ending to it all too.  It's full of charm, and every spread is successful in coaxing the adult into asking questions of the child about what they're seeing, and whether the critters need pack shampoo, etc.  For a way to build engagement with books early, this is most welcome.  Four and a half stars.
