@Chrissyreadit thank you so much for the FIVE bookmarks! I love the leaf and old world map! And the turtle has a super cute look upon his face! You did great with picking “moody” bookmarks!

My son brought this one home from school. A story about a boy who gives lots of reasons why it would be good to take his pterodactyl to school. #wintergames #TheFilthYAnimals

“I am only trying to win the bet.”

I loved the use of watercolors in this picture book. Some strokes were simple while some were quite detailed, I enjoyed the combination.

The message this story reveals is that even people with the most power can‘t always win. Beatrice outsmarted the powerful giant with her knowledge and knowing he would rather pay her than risk his reputation.

“She was little, but Beatrice loved riddles and tricks, and she could think fast on her feet”

This was a fun read that teaches the lesson that what‘s inside will always overpower physical traits.
