Don’t Drink the Pink is a beautifully written and illustrated book about a young girl named Madeline and the wonderful relationship she has with her Grandfather Gilderberry. A magical man who each year for her birthday gives her a potion to drink, each potion a different color with a different magical outcome. Growing big, invisible, etc.

The cute rhymes made the story very enjoyable. We got to see Madeleine grow. By the third birthday I was preparing myself for the ending of the story, tissues and a chuckle got me through it!

A wonderful story to teach children about the magical relationships of family and how to deal with loss.

A Bird’s Eye View: the Natural World is a colourful and informatively book for children and adults alike. A birds eye view of our world: landscapes, animals and how things work.

I love this book. It was crammed full of information that was easy to understand and presented in a fun way.

My 17 month old son even sat through my reading it because the illustrations were so colourful.

Nature All Around: Bugs is probably the most detailed book about bugs for children I’ve ever read. It’s full of so much information without being convoluted. The art throughout was beautiful and made the creepy crawlies look so pretty, even the icky ones looked lovely.

I really loved how it went into detail about bugs during each season as well as the difference between true bugs, strange bugs and insect imposters.

I would love this book for myself and my kids!

What a cute story. The drawings were fun to follow from page to page. I loved how the animals and bugs were so fed up with the plant that they were turning into a mob to cut it down. Once they had a more positive outlook and thought about all of the wonderful benefits of the plant they realized they could not only live with the changes made but they could enjoy it.

I was skeptical about this story. I wondered how interesting the inventor of the popsicle and the story behind it could actually be. I will say I was pleasantly surprised. This story was well written, and very Interesting. I loved the messy style illustrations, with the vibrant colors. I also thought it was great to have the science experiments in there to let kids see how the process actually works.

Overall this was a great story and it goes to show you actually can’t judge a book by its cover or even its title. .

What a cute story. Mr Russett grew tired of picking up after everyone when a potato mysteriously appeared on the couch. After a few weeks he took matters into his own hands and made the potato disappear, to his family’s dismay.

This story was silly. I related to Mr Russett as well as the rest of the Russett family. Depending on the day I may be protesting the potato and the next I may be dressing it up as well. That little potato face was adorable.

Great illustrations and a twist ending that made me gasp and laugh.

A simple and cute story to teach children positional prepositions. Bright and colourful illustrations, as well as simple language make this story great for younger children.

One is a Lot (Except When it’s Not) explores the idea that depending on what you’re counting one may be enough, not enough or too much.

It was an interesting perspective I hadn’t really thought of and I like the explanations. It was easy to follow and understand.

I love a good Christmas story. This one was great! The illustrations were so bright and crisp. The animals were pretty funny together while they tried to solve their Christmas tree problem. I really loved the ending, everyone was happy and no one got hurt.

I am flabbergasted at how cute this book was. The sprinkle fairy was an interesting way to warn us when a big word was coming. A fun idea to teach children big worlds in an interesting way.

It would be a peccadillo if I didn’t give this book 5 stars.
