Look! Look! Look! at Sculpture: By Nancy Elizabeth Wallace

October 17, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

This is an awesome book! The story line is simple. A group of mice see a postcard from a museum advertising their new sculpture exhibit and go visit. The mice are then inspired to create their own drawings and sculptures of their own. I picked this book up randomly off the new books shelf at my library and I am so happy I did. It introduces my son (and me) to different types of sculptures in an entertaining way. We’ve […]

Whoa, Baby, Whoa! by Grace Nichols and Illustrated by Eleanor Taylor

October 14, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

I’ve been shocked and amazed by what my 26 month old child imitates. He’s recited verses from Iggy Peck, Architect, Barnyard Dance, and even Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin! So the first time I read through this book with him I was a little nervous that he would imitate some of the things that the child did. However, this has not been the case at all. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by this book and it has become one of […]

Cookiebot: A Harry and Horsie Adventure by Katie Van Camp and Illustrated by Lincoln Agnew

October 11, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

The Short: This is an awesome book. It is so much fun to read and I’ve read this book many times over. I love it, my son loves it, and my husband even loves it. We highly recommend this book.

The Insomniacs

October 10, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

By Karina Wolf and illustrated by The Brothers Hilts This book is amazingly illustrated. It has a Tim Burton meets Despicable Me feel to it but is still something unique unto itself. I was intrigued with it from the moment I picked it up off of the library shelf. This book is about a family that moves to a different time zone. At first they have jet lag, but they find that they are happier sleeping during the day and being awake […]

Great Book: Sneaky Sheep by Chris Monroe

October 10, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

I thought this book was a lot of fun. My two year old did, too. We read it several times in a row. It was fun to read the first time and each subsequent time. I also thought that the book was really funny. This book is about two sheep that don’t listen to the herding dog who is trying to protect them. They get into trouble, the herding dog saves them, and they learn their lesson — for […]

Shhh! by Valeri Gorbachev

October 9, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Valeri Gorbachev is quickly becoming one of my favorites. I randomly picked up one of his other books, Heron and Turtle, at the library the other day and my 26 month old son had me read it to him again and again. We’ve read this book every day for the past week. Today we read, Shhh! probably 5 or 6 times. It is about a little boy who has to be quiet while his baby brother sleeps. It is beautifully […]
