Demolition by Sally Sutton and Illustrated by Brian Lovelock

November 7, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Demolition by Sally Sutton and Illustrated by Brian Lovelock. At a Glance:  “Grab your gear.  Grab your gear.  Buckle, tie, and strap.  Safety jackets, boots, and hats.  Zip!  Stamp! Snap!”  This is a fun book about a crew demolishing an old building and building a playground.  My son loves all things dealing with machines and construction.  He’s really enjoyed this book.  We happily recommend this book.  It is one that we’ve read and read and read again. The Longer Review: […]

November 7, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

See Inside How Things Work by Conrad Mason and Illustrated by Colin King. Ages 4 – 8. 16 pgs. Usborne. September 2009.  Nonfiction. The Short:  I was so happy when I found this book.  It enabled me to sit down with my son and look inside various things to see how they work.  It is well illustrated and well labeled so I could deftly answer his, “What’s that?” questions as they came in rapid fire.  I purchased this book from […]

Odd Dog by Claudia Boldt

November 2, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

At a Glance:  Great book.  We recommend it.  There’s nothing needed to edit for a two year old.  It has a nice ending and I really like the illustrations.  I think people of all ages will enjoy this book. The Longer Review:  This story is about a dog named Peanut.  Peanut is an odd dog because he doesn’t really like bones.  He loves apples.  Which is convenient because he has a wonderful apple tree in his backyard.  The biggest drawback […]

The Mighty Street Sweeper by Patrick Moore

November 1, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

At a Glance:  We’ve had this book for three days and both my son and I about have this book memorized.  There’s nothing to edit for a two-year old.  It is all about different kinds of vehicles.  I learned a few things about trucks that I never knew and my son asks for this book over and over and over again.  We highly recommend it. The Longer Review:  This book is pretty funny.  Here’s how it starts:  “The biggest, fastest, […]

Otis and the Tornado by Loren Long

November 1, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

At a Glance:  My son loves it.  We read it all the time.  Age appropriate.  No need to edit for a two year old.  If your kiddo likes machinery and animals.  They will most likely enjoy this book.  We recommend it. The Longer Review:  This is another book that my son LOVES.  We read it every day and sometimes multiple times a day.  I just noticed on Amazon that there is actually an Otis tractor doll.  My son would love this doll. […]

Hurricane by David Wiesner

October 30, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

First off, I hope that everyone affected by the hurricane is okay.  I’ve been thinking about the East Coast all day.  I’ve gone through a few hurricanes in my life and they’re pretty scary.  My dad has done a lot of recovery work with both Hurricane Rita and Katrina.  When I went to visit him, I was shocked to see houses in the middle of marshes, churches completely torn apart.  It is all very humbling. Coincidentally, we checked out a […]

Oscar and the Very Hungry Dragon by Ute Krause

October 30, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Oscar and the Very Hungry Dragon by Ute Krause. I think I almost have this one memorized.  We’ve been reading this book everyday for the past nine weeks.  I’m going to go ahead and call it an “instant classic.”  It is certainly loved at our house. My 26 month old son will consistently pull this book off the shelf and ask me to read it to him.  He has large portions of this book memorized and I can stop most […]

Bone Dog by Eric Rohmann

October 30, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Bone Dog by Eric Rohmann. This is a very sweet and very sad book.  Getting through this book the first time was a challenge, but after about the fourth or fifth time I was able to read it without getting choked up. This is about Ella and Gus.  Ella is Gus’s dog and one night under a full moon she tells Gus that she’s an old dog and will not be around much longer, but that she will always be […]
