    Review: The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? by Mo Willems

    Willems, Mo. (2012). The Duckling Gets a Cookie!? Hyperion Books for Children. *Activity sheets at the end of this post! Ok. I had an ulterior motive for wanting to review this book, because, frankly, Mo Willems books don't really need to be reviewed. They are almost all, singularly awesome. And the Pigeon series...*chef's kiss* The real reason is, I found some cute activity sheets to go with it that I wanted to share with you all. So, those are at the bottom of the post but you get a […]

    Review: If the Moon by Matthew Burgess

    Burgess, Matthew. (2026). If the Moon. Stonefruit Studio If the Moon is a soothing poem spread across a picture book (Matthew Forsythe, the illustrator did Aggie and the Ghost, Adventure Time and more!), centered around the powerful word "If." What if. At first, it might cause thoughts of anxiety (which is my habit, and I read this on a particularly stressful day, so, yes, that was the first emotion that came up)... A child sailing in a colorful sea, under the moon and star lit sky, in a […]

  29. Five stars (with a caveat)

    The Skeleton and the Cat by Brandon James Scott (2026) is about about a black cat asking to be let into the skeleton's very cozy home. Reluctantly she says yes. What follows are five short stories about a bookish skeleton learning how to live with a cat.

    The blurb and the social media campaign is comparing the book to the Frog and Toad books by Arnold Lobel. I wish it didn't. Frog and Toad are queer icons; they have one of the healthiest, most charming, cozy, adorakable relationships in fiction. Scott's stories are about the cat distribution system and about an undead person learning about life from a cat.

  39. Jemima Parker – on becoming a children’s author

    The only thing that Jemima Parker regrets about the Writing Picture Books course is not doing it sooner! With a varied career that spanned law, communications and visual arts, Jemima knew she wanted to take a writing course ‘one day’. But it wasn’t until she was knee-deep in wedding decorations that she finally made the commitment to herself.
