This was a fun one, my mother used to do something like this to make us laugh as kids when we were having a bad day. It was a funny, silly book and I see lots of kids and their parents loving it

Thank you so much to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books and Susannah Lloyd for my copy of This Book Can Read Your Mind by Susannah Lloyd in exchange for an honest review. It publishes April 20, 2021.
This was such a fun and cute, sweet book in the same vein as The Monster at the End of This Book. My kids thought it was so funny that it "read their mind" and they were very interested in it! The illustrations were also very well done! This would make a great gift for anyone looking for a book that gets a kid's mind working!

A very funny book about the book reading your (prompted;)) thoughts. I think this book will be read aloud and received with many giggles from children.

My kids thought this book was hilarious! Cute illustrations and funny dialogue makes for a book that kids are going to want to read again and again!

This children's book is definitely cute with great illustrations. It leaves way for early readers to predict what will happen next by presenting cause and effect continuously throughout the book. I wouldn't say it adds any major depth to a child's learning but would be a fun read for beginning readers.

Thank you to the author, illustrator, publisher, and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for honest feedback. I will also post this review to Goodreads.

This short young reader's book is really cute! When I was reading it, I was thinking of how perfect it would be to read to a classroom. Actually, I pictured an experience that I had while volunteering with a literacy NGO where I would go into classrooms and read to children. They could pick a book or I would... and sometimes I was worried that I would pick something that wouldn't be fun. I think this is a clever book designed to be entertaining for kids. The pictures are good, the storyline is silly, and it's engaging. It allows for the reader to have a first hand experience with the storyline, as if they are part of the plot. I like that! Anyway, it's a short read best for the young kids probably, and it'll hopefully get a big laugh.

This book was so fun! I can just picture reading this to my class and them just giggling the whole time. I really enjoy this book of book where is it seemingly interactive. The illustrations were great and I think the children would appreciate that the scientist kind of looked like a Lego person. My only negative feedback is that it felt like the book should been longer.

I want one for Miss Indianapolis and another for Miss Cleveland! Their dads will go wacky reading it with them. The publisher's blurb about covers it, but the illustrations are just PERFECT!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook from Quarto Publishing Group – Frances Lincoln Children's Books/Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

This Book Can Read Your Mind by Susannah Lloyd is a fun, silly book that features a fantastic machine that will create anything children think of. As the book progresses, what comes out of the machine becomes sillier. There is some bathroom humor, which kids will love. Children who like books like Elephant & Piggie or Press Here will enjoy this one!

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group and NetGalley for providing this ARC.

I'm sure when I was a kid I had a trivia book for children that mentioned some adult club somewhere, somewhen, that had the entry qualification of standing in the corner of a room and being able to not think of a pink elephant. Don't ask me to back that up, as I can't, but it's a real thing, called the ironic process theory. Dostoevsky pointed out that if we demand of ourselves never to think of a polar bear it will be pretty much all we can do. And it's the sole reason behind this pleasantly silly book, which takes the idea and extends it ad nauseam.

A typical scientist in his typical white coat tells us not to mistreat the book, which is reading our mind, and therefore we should always operate common sense, and not think of something as daft as an elephant. Which becomes elephants plural, which gain a mouse, a song and dance routine and a lot more, both in our mind and on the consequent pages. Young readers will enjoy the level of our daftitude (my word, you can thank me for it later (unless of course something sensible is reading your mind)) displayed on the man's equipment, and also wondering quite where this book will be going. The fact it has a good level of childish wit might not counter the fact it does have such a rigidly linear structure, and so it might not be turned to as often as the classics are, but I still think this is well worth a look.
