What people are saying...

Cover of the funny picture book Baby Worries shows a baby in a green long-sleeved shirt looking stressed

Every time my daughter sees this book on our kindle she says, ‘can we read this one, it’s sooo funny!’ It brings laughs and giggles every time.

 

If you don't laugh, it's time for a vacation. The illustrations are THE BEST EVER and drive the simple story right to five stars. I've often wished a baby could talk to know what they're thinking - here it is, the answer to all my questions. Funny stuff.

Cover of the counting Book “Dogs A Counting and Comparing Book” shows a variety of different drawings of dogs

This book is so well done! I enjoyed every aspect of it. It's cute and fun, with engaging illustrations and rhyming words. While there are a lot of counting books out there already, I appreciate how this author put a different spin on hers, making it stand out from the rest. Not only does it keep the attention of little ones, but I also found it fun to read aloud.

 

A very cute book, that will enable the 2-5 yr old to learn how to count. Well done to the author for a creative approach to learning.

Cover of the funny picture book A Dinosaur Came to my Birthday Party shows a cartoonish green tyrannosaurus rex

This book is perfect for little kids. My 2-year-old nephew is obsessed with dinosaurs and says, "No!" on a near-constant basis, so he was thrilled to repeat it back to me after each page. This book is super cute and has a surprise ending. Little guys laugh a lot through this one.

Cover of the activity book, “Awesome Facts About Tasmania”, shows a map of Australia, a Tasmanian Devil, some fruit, a penguin, some thongs, the Swift parrot, the Tasman Bridge and a eucalypt tree

I love this book!
I have passed on the link to a number of teachers who wouldn't have this resource at their fingertips. They will also love it.
This book is full of facts that are easily digested by young students. Very well done.
