Loved it! The overarching message was heartwarming and I adored the sweet surprise at the end. Also, the attention to the details of the illustrations was so charming. Highly recommend to little readers!

My daughter loved this book. I read it to her for bedtime and she loved looking at the pictures, she loved the colours and the fruit!!

This was a short and sweet story about kindness and friendship. It does a good job incorporating colors and fruits that children can learn in a fun way! I adored the colorful illustrations! I would absolutely read this to my toddler.
I read an online copy but I know the physical book would be even better with the scratch and sniff element.

Strawberry’s Sweet Surprise is a short book for ages 0-4. It’s a scratch and sniff which I would have loved to experience. I used to love the smell of these characters when I was a little girl. It shows the importance of friendship. While the friends were picking things from the garden to make something special for Lemon Meringue, who couldn’t be there with them , Lemon Meringue was building a table for the friends to sit together at to share their treats and picks from the garden.
It was a sweet book teaching kindness, thoughtfulness, friendship, remembering your friends. I loved the colorful illustrations. It was very nostalgic since I loved Strawberry Shortcake and her friends from childhood till now.

Thank you #netgalley

This was such an adorable story!! My only complaint is that I wish it would be longer ☺️ These types of cute stories are exactly what I want for my future children!

I received a complimentary arc copy from NetGalley and Tommy Nelson. All opinions listed are purely my own.

I was given an ARC of this book on Net Galley in exchange for a review. This was a very cute story and was so nostalgic!

My 4 year old says “5 stars! I LOVED it! But I didn’t really like the outfits.” Apparently they were princessy enough. 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

A pretty cute, pretty standard Strawberry Shortcake story! I really like that they went with the classic style for the illustrations!

SO ADORABLE!!! I already love Strawberry Shortcake so much, and this book was not a disappointment at all! The story was very simple and to-the-point, while still being exciting and fun, which makes this an utterly perfect pick for so many young readers. However, in my opinion, the area where this book truly shined was in the illustrations. The color scheme was somewhere between vibrant and pastel (BEAUTIFUL), no detail was left out, and each character had their own unique look, which is what I love to see.
All in all, I loved this book!!!

Adorable sweet story for toddlers to learn about kindness and friendship. Loved the artwork in this book and the sweet story teaching kids about kindness.

I love Strawberry Shortcake and this was such a fun story! I love that we're getting new stuff for this IP, I'm excited for kids who may not know about her to get to see new stuff!

This book was a very short and sweet story among friends. I loved that the friends all cared so much for each other. It was a thoughtful book and had a great lesson to learn! KINDNESS!

I got to watch the Strawberry Shortcake series for a very short time when I was a kid, and it became a core memory! I absolutely loved the stories and the art so much! It was so wonderful to see this picture book up for review. It's equally beautiful and the story is so adorable, about friends supporting each other and the importance of community. The illustrations are gorgeous! Reading this made me so nostalgic and I had a great time!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved Strawberry Shortcake as a child. This book filled me with so much nostalgia. Both the pictures and story are so adorable!

I’ve been a Strawberry Shortcake fan for my entire life and Strawberry’s Sweet Surprise doesn’t disappoint. Thomas Nelson’s latest installment in this much-loved series is filled with all of our favorite characters and an extra cute message about friendship. My kindergarten class would be thrilled to listen to this and they would adore the beautiful illustrations.

Thank you to Thomas Nelson and Netgalley for allowing me to read this in exchange for an honest review (unpaid).
This was a cute, quick book with an easy to follow story. The way the text and pictures interact would be extremely helpful for early readers. Also a huge fan of using the original character designs.

Adorable read! The story incorporated colors and fruits to help children with labeling items. The pictures were very colorful and popped off the page! I love that the story incorporated a recipe and used new vocabulary for children to learn. The story showcased friendship!

Beautiful illustrations of Strawberry Shortcake and all of her friends. A fun book about friendship with characters that we all know and love. My daughter would be THRILLED with this book. Every page had detailed, colorful illustrations with a lot of attention to the characters. An absolutely gorgeous book that I would be proud to give to my daughter and friends' kids for birthdays and Christmas.
