Babyliography XXVIII

Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, Tales from Acorn Wood: Opposites

2019 / Library book / 20 pages / UK/Germany

**

Her Yes No book again, overcomplicated with some semblance of plot.


Eric Carle, A Day on the Farm with the Very Hungry Caterpillar

2021 / Library book / 16 pages / USA

*

Introduces animals (or some of them at least – she was confused about the duck not getting any credit on the horse page). That's it. They're milking this a bit, aren't they?


Barroux, Where's the Starfish?

2016 / Library book / 32 pages / France

***

Mostly wordless (until he explains what it was that he was doing there in the postscript), she was a bit young to comprehend and appreciate its ecological message even with my commentary, but I enjoyed it.


Mark Sperring and Sam Lloyd, I Love You, Dino-Daddy

2015 / Library book / 32 pages / UK

**

Another Father's Day type book, mostly relatable for humans, apart from the specific part where he's an amateur magician. Who am I kidding, I'll be desperate to impress.


Louise Forshaw, Find Out About Feelings: A lift-the-flap book of emotions

2019 / Library book / 18 pages / UK

**

A bit advanced for now, unless I'm holding her back. Though I'm not sure whether encouraging young readers to recall traumatic and embarrassing experiences from their past is a great idea. It's all a bit social services.
