Clap, Clap! by Madalena Matoso

June 8, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

I received a review copy from the publisher. No other compensation was received. Clap, Clap is the most fun I’ve ever had reading a counting picture book.  It has brought reading to an entirely different level and the giggles and enthusiasm my boys have when we read it is so satisfying. Clap, Clap has everything you need to keep a little one engaged:  there are bright, bold colors, happy faces, onomatopoetic jubilations, and then on top of that the reader actively […]

Yann and Gwendal Le Bec on Creativity and Doubt, Making a Picture Book, and What Makes Them Laugh!

April 13, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

Yann and Gwendal Le Bec, creators of the picture book Danny, were kind enough to talk with me about their picture book, a bit about their process, what their parents did to cultivate their creativity, and the importance of laughter. I reviewed Danny last year (here) and we’ve read it a countless number of times since then.  Danny’s subversive and playful humor paired with its bright and sophisticated illustrations make it a picture book that we happily come back to again and […]

The Dinner That Cooked Itself by J.C. Hysu and Kenard Pak

February 10, 2015 by The Picture Book Review

[I received a review copy of this book from the publisher.  No other compensation was received.] Everything about The Dinner That Cooked Itself  is delicious!  The story, the spellbinding illustrations, and its sweetly surprising ending are elegant and magical. The Dinner That Cooked Itself whisks you off to Ancient China and introduces you to concepts such as the five elements, Chinese animal archetypes, and identifying written Chinese characters.  Illustrated in predominantly browns, greens, and black tones with blue hues reserved for a magnificently magical […]

What a Treat! No Such Thing by Ella Bailey

October 17, 2014 by The Picture Book Review

Objects moving around the house or disappearing?  Snacks stolen from the fridge?  A smashed china vase? Georgia is one savvy sleuth! She can always explain random, odd things happening around her in a logical and rational way.  Or maybe she’s so sure that there’s no such thing as ghosts that she can’t see what’s right in front of her! Super-cute and friendly ghosts make mischief in this creative ghost story.  Watch your little one have fun finding hidden ghosts on each page. […]
