pick4 ⭐ When reading this book out loud, you can tell it was written by a singer. The book follows the same ups and downs one normally finds in a song which makes this book work well. The idea is why not you if other people can do it? Why can‘t you do it too? This book is telling you that you can do it, you just have to try. I like everything about this book.

so-soI was going to say this may be one for the Kelly Clarkson fans. Then I read @LibrarianRyan ‘s review. So maybe not.
The illustrations are lovely - lots to explore in each one. But both the story and the storytelling are just… there… really. I‘m afraid it felt very much like what you‘d expect a celebrity picture book to feel like. #bbrc
so-so3 ⭐ I question how much help Kelly Clarkson had on this book. One it does not sound like Kelly Clarkson. Except for the lullaby. The lullaby sounds like Kelly Clarkson. This book has a decent cadence and rhymes well, but it does not sound like Kelly Clarkson. I especially say this because of how big they‘ve written Grammy award winning artist on the cover and how her biography lists all of her accolades in the music business.
pickI love the character of Doctor Strange. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the plot of the book. I rated this a 4 out of 5 stars.
Not the best brain book I‘ve read recently. Not the best book about dreams I‘ve read. I feel like the author might be trying to dumb down the info and the writing is boring.
pickMy little dumpling takes a literal turn. It reminded me of Into the Night Kitchen.
pickI liked this one, with a message of following your dreams. Yamaguchi‘s text has a cadence to it that flows very well for a read aloud. The illustrations are delightful. The end had me chuckle a little. #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterD
so-soClarkson‘s rhyming text is represented beautifully by the illustrations. While the text does rhyme in most cases, there are moments when the rhyme is broken throughout the narrative—I found this to be a little odd and broke the rhythm of the narrative. I did not listen to the song featured in the book, but there is info provided to listen to the lullaby. #PictureBook #BBRC #LetterR
pickBook read to Henry - I‘m aiming to read books to him until he can read books himself.
panIn which Chast recounts her dreams. That's it. There's no through line or point to any of it. Tedious and self indulgent.
