My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My favorite part of this book is the illustrations!! They are bright, colorful, and very eye catching! Kids will love learning more about everyone's favorite rare little "water dog", the axolotl. This book teaches counting skills and it can also be used to teach colors, words, and concepts.

A great book for several age groups, depending on reading level/skill.

This is a great book to share with young ones in your life. Curl up together and read about different home structures, both physically and from within. Learn about where different people can live and how they may set up their homes. The illustrations are very well done and vibrant. They will engage the youngest of readers learning more about homes.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Another really cute book in this series. This time, sea turtles are being featured. There is a cute little rhyming story to go along with counting the sea turtles on each page. There is even a little song at the end of the book that can be listened to from a QR code.

I love the very vibrant colors in the illustrations!! A couple of pages almost look 3D because they are so well done!

A great addition to any library where youngsters will have access!

Quick Affirmations for Children: A to Z of Easy Motivations for Creating Better days - Positive Affirmations for Happy ChildrenQuick Affirmations for Children: A to Z of Easy Motivations for Creating Better days - Positive Affirmations for Happy Children by Kim Ann
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sometimes we need to be reminded of positive things to say or think about ourselves or others. While this is a children's book, I thoroughly enjoyed it as an adult.

This book would make a great teaching tool, not only to add more positivity into a child's life, but also to teach them the alphabet, colors, different ethnicities, etc. There were several golden nuggets in this short read.

The illustrations are also extremely well done! The colors are vibrant, the pictures are relevant and engaging, as well as inclusive of different age groups and ethnicities.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a cute little book that will be great to teach a little one how to count. The illustrations are very vibrant and can help to teach colors as well. The story is narrated by a crab and tells about various aspects of starfish. At the end of the story, there is a brief activity to reinforce learning, as well as a song that can be downloaded to sing along.

This book would make a great gift, be an amazing find in a library (personal, public, school), or even in a daycare setting.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The first thing that caught my eye about this book is the excellent graphics!! They are so clear and colorful and I young readers will love them as well! This book is great for beginning readers as they are very short sentences but this book could be enjoyed by all ages!

Have you ever wondered if pirates take vacations? Or, are they happy where they are on their ships? This book explores some of the possibilities for pirates and their leisure time. It opens doors for discussions about vacations taken or desired to be taken with the reader(s). Keep exploring and one never knows what they may discover!

This would make a great gift idea for an elementary education teacher, daycare, preschool, family library, and more!
