This is a sweet book. It made me tear up and filled my heart with joy. Book 20 of the year.
Book swap presents for the little people in my life from earlier this month when I went to visit them on holiday on the central coast.

This book is a master class in wordless storytelling. This book is about a dog that needs to be walked, and the kid that doesn‘t want to walk them. Unlike some books where every single page is different this book both has one and double page illustrations as well as a page of graphic novel, like illustrations that move the smaller points of the story through faster.
pick4 ⭐ This is a wonderful look. It‘s about various types of plants and a little girl who receives new ones frequently. The rhyme that tells the story is well done and perfect for the audience. The little plant tags with the types of plants are a genius idea that goes perfect with the story.
so-so2.5 ⭐This book is half done. The author does a decent job rhyming and while this story has a cadence there was about four cadences that the author switches around. The illustrations feel old-fashioned but at the same time go well with the story. However, the story ends in the middle of nowhere. It feels like the book isn‘t finished. However if it were to get an ending, it would probably be too long.
pick3 ⭐ This book is long. It is about a grandpa bear and a cub. The cub sees the postcard that‘s always been on his grandfather ‘s fridge and ask him about it. And they decide they are going to train and get ready to go to Faraway Valley. Once they finally find faraway valley, grandpa decides to stay because the place is beautiful and he wants to help take care of it. This book is overly long for no reason.
