Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with this book for free in exchange for my review! All opinions are my own.

This book was fun and had a super important message that all girls and boys need to hear in this world. I absolutely thought that illustrations were fun and vibrant and the story seemed to be relatively easy for a child to follow. What a fabulous book, recommend 110%!

This was an enjoyable little book. I liked how there were people from different ethnicities included. The little girl liked to do many different things and seemed to have a lot of fun doing them.
The illustrations were very nice and well done. This book would be a great book for any child’s library!

Very simple story about what she likes to do! I liked the focus of family. This could work to give kids an idea for a writing prompt about things they like. Other than that, the story and illustrations were almost too plain and simple.

Adorable Cleo recounts some of her favorite activities — a visit to the beach, a science experiment, ice cream from the truck, and more — in this lovely picture book.
Marlon Huggins words are charming, but readers will love his illustrations even more.

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and BooksGoSocial in exchange for an honest review.

I love the diversity in this book, I know kids will be over the moon with seeing their own families in the pictures. A very cute day in the life of a lively little kiddo.

Thanks NetGalley for the e copy. Well this was an average book. The illustrations and colors are a bit industrial for my taste. It lacks the coziness and freshness of children’s books but I am sure it will be a fun book for many people.

This is a great little story with cute and simple illustrations.

It's going to be a great conversation starter for kids in the classroom about every day things they love to do with friends and family.

I'll definitely pick it up for my classroom!

Thank you to NetGalley, BooksGoSocial, and Marlon Huggins for the opportunity to read and review this advanced reader's copy in exchange for my honest opinion.

The book features gorgeously crafted illustrations that are vibrant and captivating. It takes readers through a typical day in the life of a little girl using rhyme. The text is simple to follow and holds the attention of young readers effectively.

Overall, this was a cute day-in-the-life story. The artwork was pretty. I just wish it had some sort of message to it.

I Like by Marlon Huggins is a cute story with a kid naming all the things they like about their life and their day. They like spending time with their parents, being outside and hanging out with friends. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and suit the affirmations spread throughout this book.

My kids and I enjoyed reading this and then taking turns naming all the things we liked about our days and our lives. Great reminder to practice gratitude.

Thank you to NetGalley for this e-copy of I Like by Marlon Huggins.

A sweet story about what the girl in this book likes and why. It makes a great starter to a conversation with children about what they like and why. It's cute and nicely made.

I found it very hard to rate children's books so everything is a 5 star read for me!!
I really loved this book, the illustrations are so beautiful and captivating that I found myself smiling through every page I read.

Pure cover request. Lovely illustrations throughout as well. But as a Black educator, smiling, joyful Black and brown kids deserve to be seen happy and upfront!

Miss for me!

I love life experiences that kids can connect with, however, I don’t feel like it will captivate my little learners. The descriptions of what she likes, lacks depth for me.

Thank you for the advanced copy!

Cute illustrations. Such a sweet short story. Very positive. When asked for an opinion on the book, my child said “check”, as it was apparently enjoyed.

I Like (Hardcover)
by Marlon Huggins

The story of a young girl and her activities . The book is a good social learning book. Teaching children positive behaviors and activities. Shows families and supportive relationships. The book also shows how to care for your self and sharing your feelings and activities. The book also helps with writing example allowing children access to a empathic journal narrative for Journaling.

Cleo goes on an adventurous day and has new experiences alongside her family in this sweet picture book written using a rhyming scheme. I loved that the family depicted here is biracial as it will be vital representation for some children. Cleo's day will encourage kids to have fun and to seek out the enjoyment in each day.

It’s a quick and fast read that will keep the kids engaged. I loved that the sentences rhymed and the illustration were great.
