Good for the prek set, probably especially helpful in a group care setting for teachers to go over safety rules.

Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Such promise in the setup! But the plot unfortunately went downhill from there. Still, I would give it to children looking for a soft and hopeful dystopia. 

Not great as a book on it's own, but certainly helpful fodder for an important conversation. 
informative inspiring medium-paced

Important history that i had never before heard about! 

Sweet story about feeling down, doesn't quite stick the landing but I'll forgive it. 

Very needed body positivity, this time in board book form

Leaves me with warm feelings, and has suitable complex characters. I'm not a huge fan of this version of time travel, where it feels like it's for demonstration rather than for plot reasons, but I still enjoyed it.

Leaves me smiling. Also had me real scared this would be not the happy ending type of book, but luckily it is. 
funny lighthearted medium-paced

Cute, solid early chapter book.

I can see this plot a mile away, and I'm already bored of it.
