Luca Magoo’s imagination runs wild when he asks himself “what would really happen if I tasted some of the glue?” this story was funny and engaging with silly ideas and great pictures. Would recommend this book for any kid or classroom

It’s art day and the teacher lets the kids use their imagination to create whatever they please. Luca gets the glue and then wonders what would happen if he ate the glue. Definitely shows the creativity of young minds and what kinds of things their imagination can come up with. Such a great easy read with excellent rhyming words and illustrations. Definitely a book to read to my littles before bed.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This book is such a lovely way to teach kids that “home” does not mean the same thing to everyone, and each one looks different. This is the kind of thing my daughter knows, but probably didn’t have much awareness of and I liked the fact that this book allowed for that discussion to occur naturally.
The illustrations really helped to bring this book to life. They are what really got both my kids interested in the story and kept them invested the whole way through. We have read a few books by this author now but I think, overall, this is one of our favourites. This is a fantastic book that I would highly recommend for young children.

Definitely a 5 star read for the kiddos. They loved it. Funny, sticky things can happen by eating the glue and Luca thinks about all the things that will happen if he does. Cute rhymes that the kiddos giggled about while I read it.

We read this book tonight before bed and we all enjoyed reading it. The book is both engaging and educational, making it an excellent choice for early readers and families. The illustrations are colorful, engaging, helping children visualize the different settings and experiences of the words described. It introduces the notion that home can mean different things to different people, encouraging empathy and understanding because people enjoy different settings at home . The book’s descriptive text and fun font make reading each page enjoyable. Can’t wait for more from author Kim Ann.

Cute book, sweet story. The artwork is beautiful. I love where Luca’s mind goes and what he thinks could happen if he were to eat even just a drop of glue. He would stick to everything, and so he decides eating glue would not be the best idea. Very imaginative book for kids.

Porter and Midge are back and today they and their owners are stuck indoors and what better way to spend the day is by baking!
This, however is no ordinary baking day, it’s a day for baking dog treats and there are a lot to choose from, but will Porter and Midge like them and how do you use treats with dogs, how many is too many?
This is a great way to involve children in learning about pet care and kitchen safety all in one go, especially with the recipes included, this is a great book for everyone.

This is an adorable book for young children about all of the different kinds of places that people call home. The illustrations are well done and colorful, and the story is easy to understand and digest for youngsters. I would definitely recommend this for parents and teachers of preschoolers or early elementary age children, and possibly even those who are going through an adjustment at home, such as a divorce or moving to a new location. My children are a bit old for this one, but they still liked looking at it with me. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a way to speak to their child about how families and their homes can look and feel different, but still make them happy.

“Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat the Glue!”
Five stars, no doubt in my mind! This book was absolutely adorable! As an elementary teacher who spent a little time in the world of kindergarten this book had me cracking up. I loved the creativity and imagination and imagery in this book. I also really enjoyed how it flowed and rhymed throughout. It was catchy and hilarious. This would be a fantastic read for back to school week. Even though my elementary kids are on the older side, I know they will enjoy this book and find it hysterical. Great job Megan, I can’t wait to see what other books you come up with!

I read this book with my two sons – D (age 6) and S (age 2.5). This book takes a look at the frequent thought of “I wonder what would happen if I did ___” that every child has (and maybe some adults too ha!).
A review from an actual kid:
D (age 6) – ”He was thinking about what would happen if he ate the glue and it was all silly.”
S (age 2.5) – “The glue is sticky and yucky!”
We gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.

I read this book with my two sons – D (age 6) and S (age 2.5). They were super excited to try out some of the recipes in this book. We made Plush’s Fruity Yogurt Treats and Mercy’s Frozen Peanut Butter Yogurt Treats.
A review from an actual kid:
D (age 6) – “The puppy dogs were sitting at the gate waiting for their people to make them some yummy treats.”
S (age 2.5) – “Our puppy dog likes treats too!”
We gave this book 5 out of 5 stars because both of my boys and our puppy dog loved the treats that resulted after reading this book!

This book is great for younger children. I’d say first libraries, bedtime stories, and kindergarten classes is where this book belongs! Super cute and the illustrations are wonderful! This book takes you through the many places where people and animals live. Each unique, but all homes. From big cities to countryside homes. Each has their own special qualities and all have love within them. This book reminds young readers that it doesn’t matter where you live, but that home is where all love begins. I really enjoyed sharing this book with kids. I would have them point out different things on different pages. Find who lives in hills on the ground, find who lives in cozy dens, and so on. I love making books interactive along the way. This was such a cute and wonderful book.

The Places we Call Home is a wonderfully illustrated children book. It is easy to read and rhymes and flows. It is a good reminder that home can look very different to each person. This book would be good for our youngest readers (preschool). The illustrations are bright and colorful and assist the story. I like that the author included animals homes as well.

What a cute and useful book. Baking with children is the best. But making dog treats is so much more to discover. The book not only talks about baking, it also touches on what food we can feed our furbabies. This author opens so many doors with this story. Baking, science, math and working together to name a few. The story is easy to follow and the recipes at the end sound so yummy for our dogs. Children will love baking for their dogs as well as their friends’ dogs. I love this book and my grandkids can’t wait to try more of the recipes found at the end of this book. What a great story!

I really loved the concept of the story because who, as a child, hasn’t really wondered what would happen if you actually ate the glue??? This book is so entertaining that your littles will be laughing all the way through.

Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat the Glue by Megan Delgado is a fun children’s story, with some valuable life lessons on offer. The illustrations really brought the whole story to life, spurring the imagination with their cute, colourful, and engaging scenes.
Luca Magoo loves being creative, so when art class rolls around he is excited for a chance to let loose his artistic flair – but what happens when he is tempted to taste the sticky glue? This fun story takes us through all the ‘possible’ consequences’ and what Luca imagines might happen. This teaches children about curiosity, temptation, creativity, self-control, classroom etiquette, following rules for safety, and making sensible choices.
This was a great little read, my grandson loved reading this with me and caught on very quickly that Luca was not meant to eat the glue lol.
Looking forward to seeing what Ms. Delgado does next,
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Megan Delgado!

G is for Gossamer by Miss Whitaker labels itself as a sophisticated and smart alphabet book. The words used are indeed larger than your average ABC book. They are also accompanied by detailed and beautiful images. The end has a glossary so parents can explain the words to those curious Littles.

What is that saying, “Curiosity killed the cat”. Luca Magoo is a typical boy who is full of curiosity and wonder and definitely someone who needs to be watched. Wherever he goes there is mayhem and madness especially in the classroom. However, he does learn some valuable lessons about is inquisitive nature. Not only does Luca learn but his teacher does as well.
Luca Magoo, Don’t Eat The Glue is a wonderful and colourful picture book that is good for school but also for everyday life. Kaylee Hawley fun pictures bring the story to life.
