📚 DETECTIVE BLUE -Steve Metzger, Illust Tedd Arnold
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas So clever. Soooo many fairy tale references cleverly strung together. Can you identify them all? A thoroughly fun read and highly recommended. Unless you don't like fairytales cuz this is saturated with them. #kidlit #readingrecommendations

📚 LOVE MONSTER AND THE LAST CHOCOLATE -Rachel Bright
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.0 #KristiCocoas Besides the obvious love for chocolate, this book was cute because WE'VE ALL BEEN THERE! Oh, just me? This could be a biography of my life. The illustrations are also fun and add a lot to the story! Delicious book! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 + 🎨 LOVE BY SOPHIA -Jim Averbeck, Illust Yasmeen Ismail
☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas 📚 First, love that the teacher's name is Ms. Paradigm. Second, love the end notes and the way that information is incorporated into the story -it's fun for the adult reader as well as the shorties. Third, a fabulous art lesson and interpersonal relationship lesson on perspective. 🎨 ACTIVITY: collect a few familiar objects from around the house (pencil, mug, book, chair, etc) and draw them from one perspective and then change the object to draw from another. You might even make a guessing game and see if other family members can identify which two pictures are the same object! An easier version for your shorters is to take a photo on your phone of two different angles. You can also make this a guessing game with an unfamiliar perspective first with guesses as to what it is followed up with the photo of a more familiar perspective! #kidlit #recommendedreading 📚 YOU WERE LOVED BEFORE YOU WERE BORN -Eve Bunting, Illust Karen Barbour ☕️☕️☕️ 3.5 #KristiCocoas *In honor of my new nephew who I finally met!* As someone who had to wait a long time to adopt, I feel this story in my bones. The older siblings might especially need a book like this too. Plus, some fun design and colors. #kidlit #readingrecommendations 📚 WHEN STELLA WAS VERY, VERY SMALL -Marie-Louise Gay
☕️☕️☕️☕️ 4.5 #KristiCocoas Maybe the child in me still lives and that's why I love this book. It is so simple but so filled with true imagination and I absolutely love imagination. I think it's worth the read! #kidlit #readingrecommendations
