Dolly Parton's Billy the Kid Makes It Big | Erica S. Perl, Dolly Parton

Pickpick

4 ⭐ It should surprise no one that Dolly Parton can write an amazing children‘s book. This book is about a dog wanting to make music and finding their way in Nashville. But some other dogs are bullies and it‘s up to Billy to help save the dayIt was written by Dolly and you can tell. She is amazing and so is everything she puts her hands on.

Corduroy Takes a Bow | Viola Davis
Pickpick

4 ⭐ The Corduroy books were in good hands with Viola Davis. You can tell a little difference between the original creator and Viola Davis, but she gets to the heart of this beloved character. Altogether the book works the illustrations are fantastic and it‘s all very nostalgic. The story is a little long for my taste, but it mixes in with the Corduroy of old.

4.5 ⭐ My own little Desi and I had lots of fun with this. Between reading and talking about the characters and blowing the bad thoughts away this book just works. And even better for a celebrity picture book this sounds like Eva Mendez and sounds like a book kids would want to read more than once.

The Boy with Pink Hair | Perez Hilton
Pickpick

4 ⭐ This was a lovely book. It gets my three-year-old nieces‘ approval. The story is a little bit long, but a good storyteller could find the right places to shorten it as they‘re reading it. The message is great. The illustrations are fun and altogether this just works. And it even sounds like Perez Hilton.

⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐5 ⭐
This picture book is about standing up for others and wanting to change the world. How when you can‘t use your voice find other ways to do it until you can find your voice. This book is well written the illustrations are amazing and this is an altogether five star read. I will be picking up other books by Stacy Abrams .

3.5 ⭐ Jayme Lee Curtis is at it again. It‘s hard to be five celebrates being five years old. Both the things that you can no longer do as well as the things that you get to do now. This is a lovely book just like all her others. This is probably my least favorite of all her books I‘ve read so far. The illustrations are always just as perfect as the books are.

4.5 ⭐This book is beautiful. This is a book for a non-biological child. Reiterating that while they may not have been birthed but they were wanted, waited for, and anxious to be met in the world. The illustrations are lovely they go right with the story, and this is sure to be one kids will read and parents will read to their children for years if not generations to come.

4.5 ⭐ This book is lovely. It‘s simple but it‘s well done. It has a definitive pat pattern. It rhymes well and it doesn‘t try to be more than it is. The illustrations by Suzie Mason are wonderful and altogether, this is a pleasant work of art that sure to be on Library shelves for you to come.

3 ⭐ This book is fine. The illustrations are soft and dreamlike and while the story does rhyme and does have a cadence, that cadence is soft in areas. The story‘s about how everyone‘s different and that is perfectly OK because everyone is who they were made to be. I like the message in this book and overall it works well. But to me it‘s only so so.

2.5 To be honest I like Seth Meyers bio on the cover better than I like the book. This book is fine. It‘s about a bear that doesn‘t want to admit they are scared while their rabbit friend is adventurous. Bear eventually overcomes their fright when a friend needs help. I wish the story might have gotten into everything that bear did to go on an adventure while not going on an adventure was an adventure.

LibrarianRyan But getting on a bus and a train and a helicopter was a type of an adventure. So I think the book missed the mark pointing that out. This book is also overly long. And it does not sound like Seth Meyers. Parts of it that I‘m not scared you‘re scared sounds exactly like him. But the rest of the story does not have the way with words we see him using his show. The book is nice and kids are going to like it, but I think it‘s a one shot and 2d
LibrarianRyan should stick to late night. 2d
