I received an ARC of this book from Net Galley in exchange for a review. We love Strawberry Shortcake! The pictures were very cute and this seems like a great gift book.
My 5 year old says “My favorite part was when they used silly words like berry instead of very!”

Such a sweet story! I loved the dear messages and the illustrations. I’d definitely recommend it to Strawberry Shortcake fans or little readers.

Thanks to netgalley and publishers for this ARC!
Unfortunately, I did not love this like I was going to. This felt like a children's book that is really more for the adults that will be reading it. Children cannot understand puns like "bake me happy". Cutesy is fun, but literacy needs to be considered!

I absolutely loved Strawberry Shortcake as a kid, so I was really excited to have the chance to read this advance copy to my niece. We both loved this book. It has all the wonderful elements that I remember from childhood!

Thank you to Tommy Nelson and Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review (unpaid).
As a Strawberry Shortcake lover since childhood, I loved this book. In fact I might read it to myself everyday as an affirmations type thing. Perfect for kids especially those who love Strawberry Shortcake and fitting for springtime daycare activities.

This is such a cute book!! It’s perfect for any little girl who loves Strawberry Shortcake as much as I did when I was young 🍓 🍰 I would definitely buy this book for my daughter if I saw it in a store!

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

A very short and sweet book for children. I loved reading it to my nieces and giving them words of affirmation as their bedtime story with one of my favorite childhood characters.

You Are Berry Special is a five page board book for ages 0 to 4. The book has simple sentences that rhyme in the end of the sentences. It uses gardening and baking images. It teaches how loved and special a person is. It uses classic artwork of Strawberry Shortcake and her friends.
I absolutely love Strawberry Shortcake and her friends from childhood till now. I used to read books of them and play with toys of them so I was so happy to be approved for this book. It was nostalgic for me. I definitely approve this simple book for a young baby/child. It gives a beautiful message of being special and appreciating someone such as yourself, a friend or loved one.

Thank you #netgalley

I grew up in the 80s and love Strawberry Shortcake. So excited to see she is making a comeback! I read this book with my almost 3 year old daughter and we both loved it! She loved the graphics and characters. I appreciated how many items we could name and count on the page. This book would be a great baby gift! It kinda reads like 5 beautiful cards, full of jope and love.
