I loved the illustrations in this story.
I didn’t really understand the story.
I felt maybe I missed something.

This was such a great book. Myself, may daughter, my sister, my mom and my grandmother all suffer from stress and anxiety. I can remember as a kid having unrealistic fears and I now see them in my daughter. As she’s gotten older it has changed... it’s not better but she’s learning to deal with it differently. Books like this show kids who suffer that it’s hard, it stinks, but there’s hope.

As a parent I can relate to this story in so many ways!

A toddler named Ivan, who is as messy an eater as they come, accidentally creates a food monster when he keeps tossing food under the high chair. His brother and sister, Benjamin and Elena, are reluctant to tell their parents about the messy monster for fear of not being believed. In the end Benjamin saves the day in a clean cut heroic act.

This book was funny and entertaining. I liked the English/Spanish translations as well. Sometimes I found the pages a bit cluttered with words, however I loved that English and Spanish were in different colors and fonts to clearly decipher each from one another.

After reading this book I need to go check under the high chair!

Thank you to netgalley for an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

An adorable comic focused on the beauty and quirky side of that feeling that is love. I have followed the comic on social media for a while and just adore the style. In my own relationship I relate to so many of the panels and spent a considerable amount of time laughing out loud to this book.

This was a fantastic story to show children how normal It is to feel shame and guilt. The monster who tries to tear them down form the inside can be defeated by speaking up. Talking to parents. Friends. Teachers. Always talking and creating a positive feeling inside themselves.

I loved this book. It had a heavy topic but the message was clear.

I really enjoyed this book. I felt the giants representation of adults, corporations, etc was really great. The illustrations were really pretty and I thought that the message was important.

A beautiful way to send an important message.

I love the soft colors in the illustrations. The contrast between the innkeepers dreams and his awake states is beautiful with the monotone daytime and the colorful dreams.

The writing is simple and sweet. This innkeeper travels vicariously through his friends and guests. I thought it was beautiful the way he travels. This longing he has for far away places is a bit sad, but the opportunity is there and that’s so wonderful.

Who Will Ask the Four Questions is a sweet story about learning tradition, overcoming frustration and strength in confidence.

Eitan wants to sing “Ma Nishtana” on Seder night. His little sister Evie, being younger and keeping with traditions, is the one who has the home of singing it instead. Eitan struggles to deal with his emotions and Evie struggles to learn the song and deal with making mistakes.

This book is a great story. Cute illustrations. I learned a little about a new culture and I am always 100% into anything that shows us a bit more about one another.

A beautiful, artistically illustrated book about the boreal forest. Pretty pictures make learning about the worlds biggest biome calming and relaxing. It takes you in this beautiful learning journey and you can’t help but love the experience.

The very first thing I want to say about this is how happy I am that the little girl who is the main character has a disability. I think more books need to be inclusive and show us all of the different “normals” that there are. I honestly didn’t even notice that she had a disability, which I found beautiful.

This was a really cute book. I loved the artistic style used and the simple language. It would be really great for children to learn a bit about the ocean as well as inclusivity, change and paying attention.
