The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore by William Joyce

November 2, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

At a Glance:  We love this book and highly, highly recommend it.  It is currently nominated for a Cybils and the short film version of this story won an Academy Award.  It is a beautiful, beautiful book.  It’s a book for adults that have gone through a very rough time cleverly disguised as a children’s book. The Longer Review:  This book is about a lot of things.  What do I think it is about?  I think it is about someone […]

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. […]

Milo’s Hat Trick by Jon Agee

October 31, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Highly Recommended!  This book is WONDERFUL! Wow, what a book!  I grabbed this book today at the library.  It was one of those random off the shelf grabs as I was exiting the children’s section of the library.  I had never heard of this book and I had no idea what it was about.  I really lucked out with this one. This book is about Milo the magician.  He isn’t a very good magician and his boss tells him he […]

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 […]

Baby Bear Sees Blue by Ashley Wolff

October 23, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Baby Bear Sees Blue by Ashley Wolff. This book has been nominated for a Cybils as well.  In our house, it has been awarded the most quoted picture book of late.  It is also in the running for the most reread picture book of October 2012. This is another random off the shelf library grab. This is a simple book about a baby bear asking his mama questions.  The mother then answers her cub.  All of the answers are followed […]

The Cloud Spinner by Michael Catchpool and Illustrated by Alison Jay

October 21, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

The Cloud Spinner by Michael Catchpool and Illustrated by Alison Jay. The Cloud Spinner was nominated for a Cybils this year.   This is yet another book that makes me happy to see nominated.  It is also a Kirkus Starred Review.   We’ve read it and read it and then read it some more.  It is one of those wonderful books that makes you happy while at the same time making you think. This book is about a boy who learns […]

Woolbur by Leslie Helakoski and Illustrated by Lee Harper

October 21, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

This book completely surprised me.  I checked it out from the library randomly.  To give a little background, going to the library with my son is a little chaotic.  He likes to run around and talk to people and isn’t all that interested in standing quietly next to me as I peruse through the books.  Fortunately, the librarians understand this to be true for children in general and in addition to the books filed neatly on the bookshelf, they have […]

Asiago by Adam McHeffey

October 18, 2012 by The Picture Book Review

Asiago is a fun and wonderful book for my son.  He loves it!  I love it!  Together we enjoy reading this book. About the book:  Asiago is a little vampire who lives with his uncle Gouda.  (Cute, right?)  One day Asiago’s non-vampire friends invite him to go to the beach with him.  Unfortunately, sun, garlic, and wooden stakes are the three things that are bad for vampires and Asiago has run-ins with all three at the beach.  Well, Asiago doesn’t […]
