I have two children’s book reviews for you today from the same talented author–Julia Dweck.
Mr. McGranimals is no ordinary zookeeper and Zippity-Zoo is no ordinary zoo. A day at the zoo turns into a magical adventure for young Ryan when he finds out that the visitors can turn into any creature they choose. When Ryan wishes to become a giraffe, he doesn’t realize the challenges or rewards he’ll face. This rhyming romp will have young listeners reading and laughing along from beginning to end. Young zoologists will enjoy Mrs. Dweck’s true and amazing giraffe facts at the end of the book.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is just the kind of book my daughter would have devoured as a younger child. Imagine being able to become an animal at the zoo! The writing was fun, and the illustrations were exceptional. And the facts about giraffes are probably something that will even appeal to the moms and dads.
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.
Monkey Fun! proves that you’re never too young to begin your learning adventure.
It’s a barrel of fun and chock full of interesting monkey facts written in easy to understand rhyming verse for toddlers ages 0-4.
Bold, colorful illustrations by Aida Barba Flores will capture the attention of young readers and aid in story comprehension. This is an edutaining rhyming adventure that offers fun learning resources in the back of the book including, Mrs. Dweck’s monkey facts and a monkey counting game.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is so cute! I loved everything about it, and I think it would even appeal to young readers (in my opinion). Indeed, Julia has done it again with a great animal book that features what we have come to love about her books–clever writing, outstanding illustrations, and even some fun facts and activities in the back of the book.
