‘Come out and Play’ follows three mischievous dogs and a squirrel. I really didn’t get the message for this book and I’m a grown up. It’s not one that would be easily read to a large group of kids but one on one with your child I think that they would find it quite funny. The illustrations are cute and quirky.

As someone who leads library story time sessions frequently I love a good book with a good rhyme. The rhyming scheme in this was perfect to be read aloud to a large group of kids. Alongside the funny and simplistic illustrations I think that this book would cause a lot of laughs.

The overall message is also heart warming, its not just a book that's funny, not everything has to be fancy embrace the inner messy dog. Great message for a super silly book. Great for families with a dog.

'Plastic Island' is a children's picture book that considers the affects of plastic waste on the environment, particularly bird life.

The words are simple but the illustrations are so complex. Beautiful in it's style the novel is executed in such a way that highlights the issue to children but doesn't overwhelm with fear. I do a lot of storytimes around climate and eco-issues this picture book would be a fantastic addition and would open up a lot of conversations.

Really hard to review because only the first really feels like a fully fledged short story
