The Tale of Peter Rabbit | Beatrix Potter

For #SeriesLove2025 , I have decided to read all the Beatrix Potter books. In January, I read The Tale of Peter Rabbit, which was like visiting a dear old friend, and The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin, which I had not read before. Although Squirrel Nutkin is adorable to look at, I was quite surprised by his rudeness of manner! 🐿️

Jess861 I definitely didn't remember how these books went as I went to read them to our 3 year old at the time a few years back 😆 😆....quickly realized - not appropriate! 5h

The Night of Wishes | Michael Ende

I was today-years-old when I found this monthly wrap up calendar option on SG. The January Pages Challenge was a good motivator for reading a little a day on the longer books. ❤️

Clare-Dragonfly Wow, I was today years old, too. Who ever would have thought of clicking on a dang dropdown 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1d

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage @Clare-Dragonfly To be fair, they‘ve had a ton of updates recently so maybe this is one of them? I‘ve looked at the cover collage before, but not the calendar 🗓️ 1d

DogMomIrene I just noticed this feature too. I wish the colors of the lines had better contrast. They kind of blend for me. But I could see them improving that, especially if this is a new feature. 23h

#childrensclassicread2025

First time reading this fairy tale. I didn‘t get to Grimms original tale but I read these two, the tagged one the better of the two as it felt more in the spirit of a Grimms tale. I enjoyed the illustrations more in the non tagged book but the tale was very simplistic and more cutesy.

Happy! | Pharrell Williams

so-so

3 ⭐ It‘s hard to call this a celebrity author or a celebrity picture because it‘s the song by a singer put in picture of a format. It‘s fine. The song was a hit for multiple years with the Happy Feet movie and yes this book was checked out like crazy. Is there still place for it? Yes… but I have a feeling this is one that when Library copies fall apart, they will not be replaced. I do like that they use real pictures in the book that are set to a

LibrarianRyan theme, and it all goes well together. And I think my favorite thing of this book is the letter from Pharrell to the kids in the back. I think Pharrell should try to really write a picture book instead of just putting his songs in page format.

Hilda and the Black Hound | Luke Pearson

pick

Absolutely love this series! This time Hilda joins the scouts and is distracted by little nissi (elves) that are getting kicked out of their houses. Also there is a big scary black hound terrorizing the neighborhood. Wonderful graphics, funny story and just love Hilda all around.
