This is a good book for our own bad days, or pretend ones (my son likes when my husband inserts things we do into the book instead of reading the words).

This is super cute and lovey.

Apparently I've never logged this one! We love this one over here. And now we're at the point where my son loves naming the colors and animals. ❤️

What a bizarre book. I don't know that I liked it, but it's interesting. I'm glad the afterword touched on the possible madness of Shirley because about halfway through I was convinced this was all a delusion. I'm not quite sure how this is somehow feminist other than Shirley is unapologetic in her affair/s. She's still so wrapped up in Coenraad and doesn't really know what to do without him... What a weird book.

Cute primer about atoms and energy.

About to start the American Girls podcast, so I'm rereading my AG books before I listen to the episodes.

This is a sweet Christmas story about what really matters. Felicity is a bit self-absorbed, but she's an excited nine year old. She matures a bit over the course of the book. It's quite sweet.

My husband picked this up just for the red pandas on the cover. <3 It's a really sweet little book and the illustrations are lovely.

This was really beautifully written, but the story was a bit thin and I felt like I never really knew the characters or their motivations. It was Ethel Wilson's first novella, and the afterword says she built upon this in other books, but it still felt thin. I really enjoyed the idea of it though, and I loved the descriptions, so I'll rate it generously. I have a feeling I'll think about it for a while.

This is a cute follow-up to Dada. We like naming all the pictures and saying Mama. :) (Don't know when we first read this, so setting it to today.)

Fun lift the flap book with Elmo. Big hit over here. :)

I'm not a super fan of this (too repetitive), but my kid loves it, so... :) (Don't know the date read so setting it to today.)

This was a cute, easy way to understand basic thermodynamics.

Cute primer to mass and space.

Cute introduction to programming.

Fun introduction to Newton's Laws of Motion.

Fun book of sounds.

This is a cute book and I love the classical music snippets. My son likes pressing the buttons on and off. (Don't know when we read this first, so just setting it to today.)

This is a cute little book. Nothing much really, but the sequins are fun for little hands. (Don't know when we first read this, so setting it to today.)

Cute Peppa Pig book (that goodreads actually has!) for my Peppa-loving son.

Finally pulled this one out again now that my son doesn't rip everything. He loves the colors and the flaps and the peekaboos. :)

I'm not sure if I liked this, but it was interesting. My copy had a transcript (or part) of an interview Waugh did with the BBC in 1960 about why/how he wrote this, and I thought that was interesting. The novel is pretty much what Waugh went through over a three week period, and so that helped me understand some of the book better (and that's why the book ends how it does too). It was still tedious in places and overly long, but it was interesting. I'm not sure if I'd reread it or not.

This is a cute little book. My son likes the flaps and tabs (too much! They're getting hurt). He loves Elmo and Abby and Abby's Mommy. :)

Apparently I never logged this one in the last couple years! I like the different alphabet books Paprocki does. They've been great for learning the alphabet.

This is a fun, lesser known (to me at least) Dr. Seuss.

Oops, apparently never logged this before. This is a cute little introduction to coding.
