The Kraken’s Rules for Making Friends by Brittany R. Jacobs

October 18, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy from the author. No other compensation was received.] The Kraken’s Rules for Making Friends is a playfully illustrated, gratifying, and thoughtful look at what it takes to make friends. Everyone needs friends — even legendary sea monsters.  The Kraken may be terrifying, but really, he is just like the rest of us and wants friendship.  It isn’t his fault that he’s a monster.  He is who he is.  But one day, Kraken starts to really […]

NanoBots by Chris Gall

October 11, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. Here’s what I imagine Chris Gall thinking as he sat down to write and illustrate Nanobots: What do I like better than robots?  Maybe a robot superhero?  But not just one, no!  A whole bunch of them!  Yes!  That sounds good!  And what if instead of them being big they’re super tiny.  So tiny you can’t even see them, but you know, they’re there and they can save […]

The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! by Mike Lowery

July 20, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. “The book that you’re holding in your hands right this second is different from any other book you’ve ever held before.”  –From The Search for the Slimy Space Slugs! It’s true.  How many books have you read where a duck informs you that you’re a recruit for a top-secret recon mission in search of slimy space slugs?  And you have to write in it in order to […]

The Gobblings by Matthue Roth and Illustrated by Rohan Daniel Eason

January 7, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy of this book from the publisher No other compensation was received.] The Gobblings is a very powerful book. The first message is that there is value in stopping and noticing what is going on around you.  The second is that you may be the only one who can avert certain disaster.  Then it shows, in no uncertain terms, that when this happens and you know what to do — do it!  Don’t stop and ask for permission. […]
