Little Koala gets lost in the forest and searches for Mommy Koala at bedtime. All the other baby animals are snuggling in for a good night's sleep with Mommy Wombat, Mommy Emu, and Mommy Platypus. When they try to soothe Little Koala with a hug or a lullaby, it just isn't the same as a hug or lullaby from Mommy Koala.

This picture book is adorable! Cute Little Koala is so sweet, and she's very polite to all the other animals mothers who try to sing to her or tell her a bedtime story. She says thank you, but thinks to herself that it isn't the same as a lullaby or story from her own mother. The whole story is just lovely!

The illustrations are beautiful with soft lines and gentle colors! Everything in the forest is winding down for the night, and the velvety illustrations are just right for a soothing bedtime mood. The story begins at sunset, and the illustrations show a golden sky gradually darkening until the stars are shining in a dark blue background.

Everything about this book is delightful!

This baby board book has over a dozen familiar bedtime rhymes, including "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star", "Jack Be Nimble", "Wee Willie Winkie", "Hush, Little Baby", and "Diddle Diddle Dumpling." There is one especially sweet poem that I had never heard before called "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear." The teddy bear touches their nose, touches their toes, turns around, turns out the light, and says good night. It's adorable!

The best thing about this book is the beautiful illustrations in soft pastel colors and a simple style. The drawings are so cute! I loved the designs of each little character snuggling in bed, sailing through the night sky, or being rocked to sleep by the moon.

This is the perfect way to share these famous bedtime poems with a new generation of babies and toddlers. The illustrations are sure to grab the attention of any young readers, and the rhyming text is soothing and sweet. Perfect for bedtime!

A mischievous crab snaps at the other sea creatures and surprises them. Crab meets a pink jellyfish, a seahorse, a blue fish, a starfish, and a sea turtle. They are all startled by the snapping sound. But when a big shark comes in sight, little crab decides to hide.

I love the die-cut openings in this board book! As you turn each page, the crab's pincers get smaller and smaller as the cut openings get smaller.

The artwork is very cute and colorful! Just right for little readers who are attracted to bright contrasting colors. The art style is cartoony and simple, with fun ocean floor backgrounds.

Another great thing about this book is that each sea creature is described by their color. The blue fish, the pink jelly, the grey shark, the blue fish, the yellow seahorse, and the green sea turtle. This is a great way to teach toddlers their colors!

The text rhymes with good writing and good rhythm. I am very picky about rhyming in children's books, but this one passes the test and has excellent rhymes that fit the story.

This whole book is adorable!

Harris is a young hare who is self-conscious about his very large feet. His grandfather helps him understand how useful large feet are for a hare. He learns to jump high, run fast, and even to dig holes in the ground.

I loved the sweet illustrations in this board book! The art is lovely in a watercolor and ink style, and done with earthy colors. Harris and his grandfather are so cute! You can really feel the energy in the illustrations when the hares run and jump.

This story has such a great message of acceptance and love! I love how the grandfather hare patiently teaches Harris about the world, taking him on adventures up the mountain and teaching him practical survival skills for a wild animal. The best part is the joy of running and the appreciation Harris has of the strength of his feet and how that enables him to explore the world.

This book has word searches, coloring pages, mazes, spot-the-difference puzzles, and dot-to-dot activities all with an ocean theme. Dozens of different ocean creatures are featured with some interesting facts about each kind of wildlife, including many endangered species.

Did you know that a stingray doesn't have bones? Or that squid swim backwards? And the sunfish is the heaviest fish in the ocean? There are so many cool facts in this book!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that this book has colorful artwork. I thought it would be all black and white on each page, but there are many beautiful colored illustrations and puzzles. The only black and white pages are the coloring pages, and even those have a colored-in box with factoids about the sea animals. I love how this book is designed and how the information is organized in a fun way!

The circus animals are getting ready to perform in the big top! The lion is the ringmaster. The dogs are clowns. Elephants play the drums while the toucans play trumpets. Kangaroos sell snacks and treats. The bears dance ballet. Eight tigers balance on unicycles.

This book has such cute illustrations! The animals are colorful and fun! I liked the crazy costumes and the energy on every page. The text has nice pacing and some good rhymes that fit the story.

I really like that the book counts from 1 to 10 as the animals prepare for the show, and then while they are performing in the show we count backwards from 10 back to 1. This is a wonderful technique of teaching children to count both ways!

A little mouse with a dapper hat counts up the numbers on his fingers in the corner of each scene. It's a cute little addition that makes the book feel special!

Maisy is going on a vacation, and she sends letters to all her friends describing the places she has seen and sending little gifts to her neighbors back home. Every other page has an envelope pocket with a letter and a small paper gift.

Maisy shops at an outdoor market and sends a beautiful paper fan to her friend, Ella. The book includes a real paper fan for the reader!
Maisy goes on a river safari, and sends Eddie a search-and-find game with animals from the jungle. The reader can play the game too!
Maisy rides a carousel, and sends a paper horse to her friends Tallulah. A sturdy paper horse is included with the letter in the book pocket for the reader to play with too.
The book even includes a REAL postcard for the reader to mail to a friend.

Each of the letters and gifts are made with sturdy, thick paper, which is perfect for little people who tend to tear everything. Hunting in the envelopes for the letters and little treasures is what makes this book so special!

I love the crayon art style and how simple the artwork is. It’s just right for little readers, with lots of bright colors to capture their attention. This book is so cute!

Maisy explores a variety of different ideas, like the weather, types of plants, insects that change from caterpillar to butterfly, body parts, textures from rough to smooth, sounds, colors, and everyday items. The only text is labels for each type of item, but the drawings show Maisy playing the drums, planting a seed, flying a kite, and painting a picture.

The board book is sturdy, perfect for little baby hands. The design of the pages has a little tab that sticks out for each type of location, showing a preview of one of the items featured on that page.

In this sweet board book, Maisy travels all over the world and interacts with animals in different places. The only text is labels for each type of animal, but the drawings show Maisy riding a camel in the desert, dogsledding with a husky in the Arctic, swimming with fish in the ocean, and feeding chickens on the farm, and putting out catfood for her kitty at home.

A young boy is confronted with a ferocious tiger, but buys time by telling the tiger a story about how he escaped from an angry rhino. During the ups and downs of the boy's story, the tiger is alternately glad or sad as the boy gets in and out of trouble.

The boy runs away from rhino, but rhino can run faster. That's bad.
The boy climbs into a tree to escape. That's good.
The boy throws a stone at the rhino. That's good.
But the stone doesn't hit rhino. That's bad.

The illustrations are so cute! The tiger's facial expressions and emotional ups and downs are really funny, as he becomes more and more involved in the boy's story. The art style is simple, but full of energy and bright colors.

I just love this sweet old story, and I can't wait to share it with the next generation of children in my family!
