Duchess Wigtower is fed up with her new kitten. It claws and scratches and destroys everything in sight. The Duchess leaves the kitten at the doorstepDuchess Wigtower is fed up with her new kitten. It claws and scratches and destroys everything in sight. The Duchess leaves the kitten at the doorstep of Princess Magnolia, and the princess tries to make the kitten comfortable and happy. Princess Magnolia must disguise herself as the Princess in Black to battle against an evil monster who is threatening the goats. While she is away, the kitten gets bored and starts scratching at the wallpaper and clawing the pillows and tearing the curtains. Can the princess discover why the kitten and monster are both behaving so badly, and find a way to stop them?
My favorite part of the book was Princess Magnolia trying to figure out a good name for her new pet kitten. She tries Plumpkins, Picklewink, and Fitz-Kittikins. The names keep getting more and more silly and hilarious as the story continues, with Whisker-Disker-Doo, Meow Loaf, and Macaroni-and-Sneeze, Putter-Puff, and Tippy-Toe-Beans. And worst of all... Binky Sprog-Tot! haha! That one had me laughing!
I love the colorful illustrations that bring all the comedy of the story to life! Every page is bright with laughter and fun!

They know they are different from the consonants and they don't want to be teased. But Y encourages the vowels to join in and celebrate their differences. After all, consonants can't make any words without a vowel to help!
The illustrations are colorful and bright, and all the little alphabet characters are so cute! I loved how the artwork really brings the characters to life and shows their personalities.
This would be such a great book for a little reader who is just learning to spell!

The poems are lovThis advent calendar book has a lift-the-flap surprise illustration for each day until Christmas as well as a poem to read each day. The poems are lovely selections from poets like Thomas Hardy, Christina Rossetti, Ogden Nash, and James Pierpont, as well as several that are the lyrics to traditional Christmas songs like Deck the Halls and Here We Come A-Wassailing.
The book folds out into a long display with illustrations of nature and animals on the back. The artwork is absolutely beautiful! I love the soft colors and cozy winter designs.
The lift-the-flap illustrations are so cute! If the poem mentions ducks, then there will be a duck hiding behind the flap. If the poem mentions a cat or a robin, there will be a cat or robin hiding behind the flap. But sometimes, it is nothing to do with the poem for that day. It's just a little surprise that adds to the beauty of the artwork.
This makes a truly special gift to share with your family each day during the Christmas season. I think books like this can foster a love of poetry in children and create quiet cozy moments for the family to enjoy together.

If it's Christmas and you know it, pick a tree, give a gift, bake a cake, and sing carols. You can also scan the QR code to hear a recording of the song and sing along.
I love the bright illustrations on each page, but the best part of the book is the sliders that you can push and pull to make different things appear on the page. You can close the oven door to bake the cake. You can open gifts, and point out the tree you want to decorate. You can open the front door to see the carol singers outside. And there is a special wheel on the front cover that makes the tree lights twinkle in beautiful colors!
This makes a great Christmas gift for little ones, because you can sing together and they get to push the sliders back and forth!

After many months, she has a ripe pumpkin to turn into pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving! At the back of the book, there are instructions and a recipe to make pumpkin pie from scratch. There is also information about pumpkins and how they flower and grow.
The rhyming text uses a poetic scheme similar to "The House That Jack Built". I really loved the repetitive nature of the text, but at the end it branches off into new rhymes describing people gathered to give thanks. It fits beautifully with the story and flows with a nice rhythm as you read aloud.
The illustrations are so beautiful! I love the warm art style that perfectly captures the crisp autumn weather.

Pero ¿se queda atascado alguna vez? ¿Se ensucia todo el traje con el hollín? Tal vez pueda aplanarse para deslizarse por debajo de la puerta. ¿Y qué pasa con los perros en las casas? Tal vez Papá Noel lleve golosinas para perros, para que no ladren. ¿Usa gafas de visión nocturna para ver a su alrededor en la oscuridad? Sea como sea, ¡estamos contentos de que Papá Noel venga en Navidad!
¡Este libro es divertidísimo! Me reí mucho durante todo el libro. ¡Las ilustraciones son tan lindas y divertidas! Adoro todo sobre este libro. No puedo esperar a leerlo con mis sobrinas, porque sé que se reirán a carcajadas.

They tag along in the sleigh on Christmas Eve, helping Santa to deliver presents, making messes, and getting up to all kinds of wild shenanigans. They drink the milk and eat the cookies set out for Santa. They narrowly miss crashing the sleigh. They watch a movie in someone's house, eat the Christmas candy, get soot all over the carpet, and climb the Christmas trees. These bunnies are crazy, but eventually all the presents have been delivered. Santa and the bunnies go back to the North Pole for a well-deserved snack.
I loved this hilarious book! You have to read it slowly so that you can stop and look at the illustrations. The bunnies are doing all kinds of crazy things in the background of each page! I loved the cute artwork, and the rhyming text. The text has a lyricism and rhythm to it that is really fun to read out loud. So much Christmas fun!
