Review to come in August on blog/other places.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

The previous Itty Bitty Betty book was about being different, about picture day. Well, Bitty Betty Blob is back again! This time no picture days, oh no, it is time for afterschool activities! I was so excited when I saw this new book up on Netgalley, of course I had to request it, I really enjoyed the previous book and I was curious to see what would happen in this one. I knew it would be about diving, I mean the cover and the blurb are pretty clear about that, but what would happen there?

We see our tiny blob figure out what activities are best, she tries out for drama at first (after a whole lot of practising and stressing at home) … which yeah, don't end that well (not a spoiler, I mean it is obvious the diving team is where it is at), and then she ends up at the diving team and because of her very dramatic splash (not intentional) she gets selected to be part of the team! And we see there that Betty Blob is happy to be part of the team and make new friends, but there are elements she doesn't like. I could definitely imagine, I mean, OUCH, constantly flopping on your belly? That oughta be bad, even for a blob. I just wanted to hug Betty Blob and tell her to go for her own jumps. Her own dives. The ones she does with her little fluffy friends in the little water place near her home. I was rooting for Betty Blob and hoping that she would figure things out. Because she really loved the diving team. She loved the thrill. Loved the wins. Loved her team mates. She just needed to find her place. Thankfully, Betty Blob has her mom as a fantastic support, not to mention her fluffy friends. 

I would have loved to have a diving team like that. As it is when I was in elementary there were no activities after school. 

The illustrations were fabulous and gorgeous and colourful again! Be sure to check out the endpapers of the book, so pretty! 

All in all, another inspirational and wonderful book in the series and I am curious what is next for Betty Blob! I definitely hope there is more at least~

I LOVE Betty Blob...and this book!!! I already fell in love with Betty in the first book, and this book didn't disappoint at all! Betty is unapologetically herself, and she'll be a diver if she wants to be a diver! It was absolutely amazing how the author showed young readers that they will only be truly happy if they follow their heart, rather than doing what feels right, or what is expected of them. It is wildly important for young readers to see this message in the books they read, and it will serve them their entire lives. Lastly, the. ILLUSTRATIONS!!! They were so amazing I can't even put my thoughts into words. I'll just end my review with this: go read this book right now!!! It will actually make your day.

Super cute! I loved the art style and cute monsters. I had no idea this series existed, so I immediately placed a library hold on the first one.

SO CUTE! The idea of a team of belly flopping monsters being upstaged by a cute pink blob is fabulous. The illustrations are also gorgeous, I loved the mostly black and grey with the pops of color. And the end pages look so cute. Can't wait to see it in its printed form!

I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for a review. I loved this one! The artwork was really fun and I really liked the use of color.

My 5 year old says “I loved it because Itty Bitty Betty Blob was a silly name to say and why did she melt when she had a meltdown?”

Another Betty Blob book about being perfectly YOU -- this time instead of picture day, it's a school extracurricular decision - drama club or diving club. She chooses diving club and gets worried about the competition. Super sweet book. My kiddo loves these and so do I.

Our titular heroine from Itty Bitty Betty Blob returns in this wonderful sequel.

Betty joins the Devil Divers this year at Ghoulington Academy (still a great name!). As one expects in the upside-down monster world, the point isn’t a graceful swan dive but to make an enormous splash as one bellyflops. But can an itty-bitty monster do that? Maybe her mom has the answer?

As charming as ever, Betty will be loved not only by little monsters but by their adults too!

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley, Astra Publishing House and Hippo Books in exchange for an honest review.

Itty Bitty Betty already holds a place in my heart (not a dark corner, of course) since her first book, and this sequel is just as delightfully lovely. The encouragement Betty gets, the way it's never a problem to be herself, it's just up to her to believe she can. Love it!

Bright colors and cute characters make Betty Blob and her world welcoming and relatable, though the story is about monsters. Betty's fear of not being good at something and being shy about performing are relatable to both kids and adults, and her bravery shows audiences that fear can be overcome with a little support. The book presents a positive message about bravery through Betty's example.

Kids will definitely get excited to see what Betty Blob is up to as a new school year arrives. Although not as strong as the first book, those who know this character will be able to pull from Betty’s first story to get to know the character a bit better. The illustrations are the star of show!

We are and will forever be an Itty Bitty Betty Blob family. I love these books so much and the stories they tell about being true to ones self. I am obsessed with the illustrations of this series, they're so lovely. This is a series that I think every parent should have for their children.

Betty, the itty bitty blob, is back with another adorable adventure. This time, Betty is trying to make a splash on her first day of school. She follows her heart, even when she is nervous, and ends up having the time of her life! This is an adorable tale about trusting yourself and your abilities.

The illustrations in the book are amazing and Betty pops with her high contrast colors. Her bright design mimics her bright personality.

Precious! This is the perfect follow up to the original Betty Blob. It reads lyrically and I can’t wait to sell it in my store.

I loved the first Itty Bitty Betty Blob book, and I love this one even more! Betty is an adorably pink, happy-go-lucky type of monster (which, as we know, is not a typical monster.) When it's her first day back at school, everyone has a special club they're excited to join. Betty finds a way to pursue her dreams and, even though she's unsure and nervous at first, finds a way to make a huge splash -- in her own special way.

I can't wait for more Betty! Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

From the very first page of Itty Bitty Betty Blob Makes a Splash, I was completely charmed—not just by the story, but by the absolutely adorable illustrations that bring Betty’s world to life!

Betty herself is such a lovable little character. There’s a sweet message here about bravery and trying new things, but what really stole my heart were the playful, expressive drawings. Every page felt like a visual treat, bursting with personality and little details that made me smile. Betty’s big eyes and tiny blob body are just too cute, and the way she interacts with her environment, especially the puffs, is both funny and heartwarming.

The story is simple and light, perfect for younger readers or as a cozy read-aloud. I do wish there had been just a tiny bit more to the plot, which is why it’s four stars instead of five for me. But honestly, the art alone is worth the read. It’s one of those picture books that feels like a hug in paper form.

If you’re looking for something sweet, funny, and irresistibly illustrated, Betty Blob definitely makes a splash! Thank you, NetGalley!

Please say there will be more of Itty Bitty Betty Blob! What a wonderful story about just being you! Great for storytimes, silly bedtime stories, or a cute gift for the fall.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.

This was a fun story about being true to yourself, and even when you think you've achieved your goal, you can always improve or show your true colors within a group. The cute monsters and pops of color against a dark background made this a fun story to read.

I recommend this for schools and libraries
