Review By JENNIFER KALI This book by P.D. Eastman is part of the Dr. Seuss family. Similar in style to Go, Dog, Go, it’s an early reading book about two kids and their dog playing in the snow.

Charlie Parker Played Be Bop

Review By JENNIFER KALI There are so many things I like about Charlie Parker Played Be Bop. My daughter received it for her second birthday and really enjoyed the text and the images. Its simple, rhyming text really held her attention. It’s a book about jazz. It’s written text, but it sounds like jazz music. What an amazing feat [...]

Review By MAUREEN MCDOWELL What better way for baby to learn the colors of the rainbow than from the garden? What’s in My Garden?, a board book by Cheryl Christian, will entice babies with the illustrated, cut-out veggies that slide up from behind a garden scene. This simple book lacks a story, and instead invites [...]
