Welcome to Litsy!

3 ⭐ I don‘t like that the illustrator does not get recognition on the cover. This book is too easy of a book for the illustrator not to get name recognition on the cover. You have various animals trying to get their child to say data and the animals respond with the sound you expect them to. That is it. The concept is cute, but by no means is this genius. The real credit in this book is the illustrator who makes this book worth reading.

I‘m not the biggest Fallon fan, but this is a good #PictureBook for a quick story time for really young kids, especially for animal sounds and identification. It‘s also pretty basic. I‘m not completely in love with the illustrations either. I had hoped for more. #BBRC #LetterY

I just thought this illustration was awesome & hilarious!

#SummerSpecial Day 11: This story is told in the voice of a young girl who proudly introduces her father to the reader #FatherDaughter; a father who often apologizes to her for activities they are unable to do together because he is not able to walk. While the father is shown in the first few pages as being in a wheelchair, other pages simply depict him as spending time with his daughter who enjoys his company. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-ppK

This story makes a difficult and tender subject more accessible to children with parents serving far from home.
Author: Melinda Hardin. Illustrator: Bryan Langdo. Publication date: 2010. Genre: fiction.

4 ⭐ This story was sweet. It‘s a great vocabulary lesson without being preachy or repetitive. Sam and Dad are a pair. But things happen and Dad wants Sam to consider if it is a “big” problem, or a “little” problem and how to tell the difference. The art work in this story is unique. The illustrator does a great job of portraying emotion and action in a still work. This book just works and would be a great edition to any library.

4 ⭐ I have been a big fan of Little Critter all my life. I can remember listening to the original 8x8 book and reading along to the record. Now little critter has entered the world of easy readers and it does work. It isn‘t as impactful or as charming as I remember, but it was still a lot of fun seeing Little Critter help out dad.

#SavvySettings Day 26: Fats‘ review: “In addition to the existing generation gap, Dad Runs Away With the #Circus illustrates the notion that everyone is entitled to dream and to make it come true. In Dad‘s case in the story, joining the #circus fulfills his lifelong dream.” Full review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-39U

#WishesAndBlessings Day 15: I still believe in #Magic - that much, is true. Anthony Browne approves.
