Nice book but only 3.5 stars. I like the idea, but it seemed that the child felt too much pressure to “choose” their pronouns & words for the day. A better way the adults could have dealt with it is explained that the child was still valid even if they couldn‘t find their “words” for the day. Still, a good book for introducing children to the concept of pronouns. ⬇️

IriDas I should add that it was also nice for there to be an acknowledgement that pronouns are not necessarily a permanent structure. That they can be fluid and that‘s perfectly fine too. The kid‘s stress just stressed me out. lol. 6d

As I'm reading all this illustrator's work we have in our library, I'm just in awe of the art and the detail put into this book. With very few words, the picture really tells the story in this book. It's basically what happens outside your home while you sleep in the winter. Just beautiful.

This was a beautiful stunning book. Its the story of how an Inupiaq family survived on a boat trip in the Arctic. It explained how the mom sewn all the warm clothes for the crew and what they ate to survive in a cold unwavering environment. Artwork is just wonderful as the story itself.

Outside Over There | Maurice Sendak

💙 Indoors - We had elaborate Barbie play. Big family trees, backstories, lots of drama, VERY soap-operatic. Outdoors - CAPTURE THE FLAG! So many great memories of playing this in our neighborhood.
💙Book - Someone got me a copy of Outside Over There when my sister was born. It had quite an impact, but also creeped me out! Movie - The Wizard of Oz. I loved when it was on TV once a year - we always made it a big event.

Children plus dog explore the island in the cove where one of them lives and look for treasure.

Pure nostalgia with the book which is my earliest memory of owning a book. Read in memory of my uncle who gave it to me and who died last week.

Ruthiella Sorry to hear about your uncle. That is a lovely way to commemorate his memory. ❤️ 1w

Proud to share that I have a new reader in the house - Beatrice Lynn arrived on June 5 weighing 7 lbs, 13 oz. Am enamored with her and can‘t wait to introduce her to books! For now though, we‘re focused on basic survival of the newborn phase and I‘m on a reading hiatus 😅 Hoping to at least get through some audiobooks soon!

Reggie Congratulations!!! One time I babysat a 2month old for my friend who needed a date night with her bf. I took Wendy‘s cause I thought I was gonna eat it. 4 hours later that food was still there. My first thought was: keep baby alive. Like I couldn‘t leave him on their king size bed because what if that night was the night he learned to rollover off the bed. What if I stepped out and an owl crashed through the window and snatched him up. lol 👇🏼 6d
Reggie I could never be a parent. Good luck! She‘s a cutie. 6d
