pickClever 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.

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?
pickTagged 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.
pick4 ⭐ 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.
Tomorrow I‘ll post my end-of-year reading brackets with my top reads of 2024. These are the ones that made the “top of the bottom” list.
pickGreat children‘s read about cryptozoology! The last section tells about various cryptozoology creatures from around the world!
