My rating: 5 of 5 stars

My kids love the Porter and Midge books and this one was no exception! They love the pictures and the rhyming words. The story is super easy for them to follow but also teaches them in a very easy way about taking care of and interacting with pets.
In this one, we learn how to make safe doggy treats. There are even recipes in the back! Once we get our own pet, they will definitely want to try them.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Word play: This was such a cute read! Very simple and a quick one. Little Joe is excited for school because he gets to learn how to read, but is disappointed when they don’t dive right in to reading! He actually leaves the school and walks around town looking for someone to teach him to read! Joe is found, goes back to school and happy endings all around.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Puppy Adventures of Porter and Midge: Out and About was such a cute book but also very helpful and informative! Porter and Midge are going to be out and about on adventures, leading up to the Independence Day parade in town. The book walks through the steps on acclimating a dog to loud noises and large crowds, how to teach them to sit and listen and reinforcing good behavior while also covering the importance of vaccinations for dogs. My littles have been asking for a dog so this has been very helpful for them in learning that it’s a big responsibility.

Oscar and Emmy Weather a HurricaneOscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane by Terri Sabol
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oscar and Emmy Weather a Hurricane by Terri Sabol is such a cute book despite the topic! Terri takes something that is normally scary for children and makes it less so. From the start of the hurricane to losing power and sleeping in the bathroom, to evacuation, Terri makes this an easy to understand learning lesson for the kids. By taking out the scary part and focusing on what-to-do in this event, the story helps take some of the fear away. Great read!

The Glow in Loretta’s Garden is another hit by Lois Wickstrom. As always, my girls love the stories and being able to learn something new. They’re fascinated by fireflies so I knew this one would be a hit. I love reading her books to them and I love that we are all learning new things while we enjoy the read!

My girls and I really enjoyed this book! The rhyme of the words makes it almost hypnotic for my toddlers and they loved learning how they can play with puppies safely and how the puppies can have more fun. It’s a really good read for adults as well, who are wanting to get their dogs thriving and trying new things.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

My girls and I loved this Porter and Midge book! My toddlers are 4 and 3 and absolutely LOVE animals, but are still learning how to respect their spaces and how to approach strange dogs. We’ve been working with them, and this book was a great visual reminder for them. Some of it was a little above their ages, but overall was still important information for them to learn in a fun way.

Would definitely recommend if you have pets or if your littles have a love for animals and just not quite sure how to show it in a gentle way!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Hand of God: From Oppenheimer to Hypersonics – A Crash Course on Nuclear Weapons and Humankind’s Most Dangerous Game by Paul McCarthy is DEFINITELY a crash course on physics! I am absolutely not a science person and this book was way out of my normal genre. I wanted to try something different and so glad I did! I learned so much in this book. But the way the author explained everything was really clear and easy to understand! I was a little worried this would be boring and hard to follow but it wasn’t. I was actually truly captivated and intrigued the whole time. Try it!

Ladybugs for LorettaLadybugs for Loretta by Lois Wickstrom
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was so interesting! I learned many new things about ladybugs. I really love children’s books that teach as well as entertain. I thought I knew about ladybugs. Turns out that there is always more to learn about anything. The words had me interested and the illustrations had me amazed. The illustrations were different than I have seen lately but so beautiful!! Will definitely be recommending, even gifting if possible.
