Hey, Boy by Benjamin Strouse and Illustrated by Jennifer Phelan

September 3, 2017 by The Picture Book Review

Hey, Boy by author Benjamin Strouse and illustrator Jennifer Phelan is a poignant story about a young boy hurrying to grow up so that he can keep a stray dog he found and loves. An especially moving story for anyone who has – or has had – to be apart from someone they love and is waiting to be with them again.

Max the Flying Sausage Dog: Book Three A Scary Tail by John O’Driscoll and Richard Kelley and Illustrated by Arthur Robins

December 6, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

[Reviewed from copy received courtesy of Words in the Works] Max the Flying Sausage Dog is one of our absolute favorite book series. The subject, the humor, the prose, and illustrations are so perfectly and expertly done and so completely inline with our family’s sense of humor that we’re all enamored with books one, two, and now three. The hardest my eldest son has ever laughed was when we read the first book of Max the Flying Sausage Dog. He […]

Doctor White by Jane Goodall and Illustrated by Julie Litty

December 2, 2014 by The Picture Book Review

At the library last week, just as the baby started breaking down, my son grabbed this book off the shelf and asked if we could take it home with us. Considering my rule is to always say “yes to books” when we go to the library, I obliged and packed it into our already overstuffed library bag. I didn’t even look at the cover — it’s a picture book after all — there’s no harm in saying yes. This book […]
