When it's discovered, she is not part of the rainbow. What is pink, not a color? Another bingo spot. #ISpyBingoFeb @TheAromaofBooks

4 ⭐I love these books. They‘re sweet. They‘re funny. They‘re understandable and almost always have a lesson. But the nice thing is the lesson isn‘t browbeating the reader. It puts it in a way that kids will get and kids will want to ape. I get excited every time I see there‘s a new one so Ben Clayton, please keep them coming.

4 ⭐ This book was fun. It rhymes well, but the cadence is all over the place. It wants to be in a pattern, but it‘s not very good at keeping that pattern. However, the kids are going to love the story and will laugh at mom and dad or the storyteller as they trip over the lines. The illustrations are bright and fun, and a perfect match to the story. My one complaint is the letter at the beginning of the book. That should be moved to the end.

LibrarianRyan A letter in beginning of the book set up expectations of what is to come. I think letters work better at the end, so one see what the author was expecting the reader to find, instead of telling the reader it‘s going to be there. When you tell the reader it‘s there ahead of time and they don‘t find it or didn‘t feel the message came across, it becomes a letdown of the story. Overall, I like this book and it‘s not bad for a celebrity author, but I 1w
LibrarianRyan think they need a little more practice.

Madame Badobedah | Sophie Dahl

I‘m about to whistle through some picture books by celebrity authors for #BBRC. Count yourself warned.

This was gorgeous and gorgeously odd. One of those where the pictures couldn‘t be more perfect for the text. A tale to read aloud for older picture book readers (5-8 maybe).

A mysterious old lady comes to stay in Mabel‘s parents B&B. Despite a rocky start, they end up sailing pirate ships, meeting mermaids, and becoming firm friends.

rockpools Does Sophie Dahl count as a celebrity author? I knew of her as a TV chef & Roald Dahl‘s granddaughter. She used to be a model. She‘s done been a journalist and author for years, apparently. This definitely has elements of the Dahl weirdness, but is really quite touching. 1w
LibrarianRyan Lovely. I still have about 10 pages of reviews from last month on the same thing. I was just readying them to post after lunch. Hope you have been reading some good ones.

So many lovely, thoughtful birthday treasures from @LeahBergen 😍

I remember Calling All Girls!/Young Miss—it‘ll be so much fun to read one again. The vintage ballet book is adorable, and this is a BLWW I‘ve been wanting to read.

❤️ the goodies in the Betsy-Tacy pencil pouch! The Deep Valley card is absolutely frameable. I hope Nicky & Sadie don‘t get any ideas about cooking from the other cute card. 😹

Thank you so much for everything! 😘

TheBookHippie How. FUN! HBD!!!🎉 1w
