Babyliography CCXLII

Dr. Seuss, I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew

1965 / Library book / 64 pages

****

A silly Odyssey designed to trip up early readers with a good message all the same.


Raina Telgemeier, Ghosts

2016 / Paperback / 256 pages

***

Raina goes supernatural. I was concerned that the focus on death might make this a bit troubling for a six year old, but she's been into other morbid things like Monster High and the Bible for a while, so she rolled with it.


Mika Song, Donut Feed the Squirrels

2023 / Library book / 112 pages

**

Sparse and predictable fluffy comic caper.


Catherine Baker and Charlie Alder, Collins Big Cat Phonics for Letters and Sounds: Disaster Duck

2021 / School book / 24 pages

**

The kind of reading book that would have tricked me into thinking I'd lucked out with cartoon art.


Unknown, Weird But True! 2024

2023 / Hardback / 256 pages

***

Even as free charity shop surplus, I wasn't sure it was worth the shelf space, but at least we now have a book depicting elephant defecation.
