pickMore Murderbot! While the first book felt like it could cryptically stand alone, this second story seems like a short episode on the way to something bigger. The new characters give brief glimpses into a larger, diverse world of bot and human relationship. And the locations and transport described seem like parts of video games I'd enjoy playing. A fun one-sitting read! #mommyreads #scifi #robots #novella #babyreads #tractors
pickThis book is adorable! Mostly without words, the illustrations play out like a comic with panels and dialogue bubbles (usually with an imagined language). I love the cross-species collaboration and the nod to Lascaux style cave paintings. Now I'm looking for everything else this author has done 😍 #babyreads #mommyreads #picturebooks
🎶Library Love! 🎶 starting our vacation off with a huge pickup from the library! 🎉 so excited about this mix of picture books, graphic novels, cookbooks, YA, and parenting 😍 #babyreads #mommyreads #picturebooks #ya #cookbooks #comics #graphicnovels #librarylove
Well, we rang in the new year with colds...all using separate screens, yikes. But this morning has been spent continuing The Witch Elm #ebook on my phone while helping the 2yo explore a stack of #transportation #picturebooks 📚 oh, he's moving on to potty books! 🚽 this year I'm hoping to review each book i read, ha! Fingers crossed. Happy new year! 🎉 #monmyreads #babyreads
These books ALMOST make me want another baby so that I could buy them all. #babylit #kidlit #babyreads
Book mail! 😍✨💃 I'm so excited to catch up with Prudence 💘 and I'm obsessed with all the food truck books 😂 there's one more on my mommy-toddler TBR, but for now we're lifting flaps and discussing ingredients 🍕🍧🍓 #mommyreads #steampunk #babyreads #foodie #boardbooks #bookmail
pickThese food trucks are super whimsical and full of little details. The style reminds me of Rocko's Modern Life. Each truck serves up a different cuisine, accompanied by factoids about ingredients or world records. The poems for each truck have great info, but I found them clunky to read aloud. Maybe I'll get better with the second read through. #babyreads #picturebooks #foodtrucks #transportation
pickRichard Scarry books are so fun 😍 I love how the illustrations in this one encourage counting strategies and addition. 1-10 worked well with the 2yo and the rest of the book gives us room to grow. Will be buying it for our library! #babyreads #picturebooks #counting
The toddler's new favorite bedtime expression is "one more book!" which is also one of his longest phrases so of course I'm chuffed and feel like we're related ? this is his stack this evening minus one he snatched off the top when I tried to get a photo. I'm so happy he'll finally sit for whole story books ?and all this on a day he's quite sick ? #babyreads #picturebooks #boardbooks #transportation #nihongo #japan
pickI had no idea what we were getting into when my toddler handed me this book at the library today ? and because it was in Japanese, i didn't get the true story aspect at first. Toddler grew alarmed when the sweet refrains of "mama!" changed to "mama?" i think i need to prepare for how to share this sweet story with him. Lovely illustrations and a great true tale but still sad. #babyreads #picturebooks #indonesia #loss
