Not an easy choice because both books are unique in their own ways, but this one stands out.

On Wednesdays I take my littlest to the library whilst his big brother is at story writing club. They always have a communal puzzle anyone can help with, and today Fox decided he could help. I always feel so lucky when I‘m in a library. We also read the tagged book which was a lot of fun 😊

4 ⭐Jane Yolen is a master storyteller. Along with the illustrator in less than 20 words, they can have a book from beginning to end. It‘s a perfect book for bedtime for that last push right before sleep.

Clever mouse. 😏 I can definitely see why it's a classic. I'm a sucker for a rhyming tale with good illustrations, especially when the protagonist succeeds by outwitting those who thought they had the upper hand.

Cathythoughts I love this book. 1mo
SarahBookInterrupted One of my kids favourite books when they were young. It‘s my go to gift for toddler birthday party‘s or baby showers. 1mo

Such an intriguing book, and an intriguing theory. A good time to be reading books that help me understand monsters of the human variety.

This was the #QueerBC book from, what, October? Also my choice for “featuring a cryptid“ for @Faranae's #URC. I can't imagine a more interesting cryptid!

Word of the month #reflect
Leo makes a decision.
Illustrations in kid-lit are often described as simple (condescending?). The concept of reflection is not simple. In drawing, gesture is the technique used to convey meaning, but we don't label illustrations like we name literary devices. Maybe if we did, educators would teach more using graphic novels. What would you call them though?

Tagged is a low pick. It is billed as reverse harem with sexy superpowered faery suitors, and honestly it needed more smut 😂
so it lost out to a YA fantasy for #weeklyfavorites25 🙃 @Read4life

Opened my #LittleChristmasSwap this morning. Thank you @kspenmoll !! - I‘m glad I waited until the opening date. There was a gift bag inside the box, but it was outside the bag, how silly!

One of my most anticipated books of 2024 - and I actually read it in the same year it published!! A rare feat for me! I really enjoyed not only the story but Wiswell‘s writing style, I look forward to whatever story comes next from him.

The audiobook was excellent.

Andrew65 Good choice. 2mo

Poesy the Monster Slayer | Cory Doctorow

4 ⭐ This book was a little long, but it needed to be. This is for an older kid at bedtime. Posey loves the story of monsters read to her every night by her dad and she knows exactly how to take care of them. If only her parents could get her to stay in bed. But can pose defeat the zombies? This book was a lot of fun and the illustrations are fantastic.
