Whose Story Is This, Anyway? by Mike Flaherty and Illustrated by Oriol Vidal

June 3, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. Whose Story Is This, Anyway?  is a humorous jab at self-importance while tactfully suggesting that paying attention to those around us might be more of a win for everyone. A young boy has a wonderful story to tell us.  We’re going to love it — because it is all about him. He’s just starting to tell us about his cat, Emperor Falafel, when a pirate has the […]

BAH! Said the Baby by Jennifer Plecas

May 6, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

BAH! Said the Baby is about a family trying to […]
