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. They run, throw snow balls, build a snowman, ski, make an igloo. It’s a simple book with simple pictures [...]

The Giant Book of Giants
December 22nd, 2011 · No Comments · Books
Review By KRISTIN WALD Some stories can be told and retold ad infinitum, and they will continue to entertain and delight – or terrify. The Giant Book of Giants has managed to stuff six such stories centered on giants into one book that will delight any giant-lovers you know, and they haven’t sanitized the stories for [...]

Charlie Parker Played Be Bop
August 27th, 2011 · No Comments · Books
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 HOMA WOODRUM This is one of those books that I knew I had to review for Vegbooks just to share it with others. It is one of the first nonfiction books to truly capture my daughter’s attention right away and keep it. The illustrations are beautiful and on large, expansive pages and the [...]

Come and Eat!
August 11th, 2011 · No Comments · Books
Review By HUYEN MACMICHAEL Come and Eat! is a delicious banquet of food photos and cultural eating customs around the world. It brings to mind Time Photos of “What the World Eats” (Peter Menzel’s book Hungry Planet) except Come and Eat! serves to children with less of an agenda towards changing what’s on the reader’s [...]

Gracias, The Thanksgiving Turkey
November 20th, 2010 · No Comments · Books
Review By CAROLYN M. MULLIN Where in the world do I start with this book? The Latina in me loves the fact that this holiday tale is about a Puerto Rican family living in a bustling, close-knit burrow in New York City, but the animal advocate is frustrated at the blustering disconnects within the text. [...]

Harry by the Sea
November 12th, 2010 · No Comments · Books
Review by SANDI LANCASTER At first glance, I thought that Harry By The Sea would become a favorite in our house, but after reading it once with our daughter, I quietly stuck it in our basement storage, hoping that it would soon be forgotten. The story starts with Harry the dog going to the beach with his family. There’s [...]

Sally’s Great Balloon Adventure
June 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Books
Review By JESSICA ALMY This beautifully illustrated book by Stephen Huneck follows Sally the black dog as she accidentally embarks on a hot air balloon adventure. It’s hard not to fall in love with Mr. Huneck’s technique, which he describes in detail at the end of the book. Kids will also love Sally’s unflappable demeanor [...]
