[Review] Lena the Chicken (But Really a Dinosaur!) by Linda Bailey
A cute and educational story. I really loved the incorporation of evolutionary science into the story. It's a great way to learn.

I love this! This is a book about embracing your true self and not succumbing to the pressures of conformity. It's also an empowering message about the impact a single person can make when they embrace their differences.

A sweet book about loss, gardening, and friendship. I definitely recommend this for any kids that like gardening, or to any whose best friend just moved away.

This book addresses a tough topic—the loss of a loved one. A very sensitive handling of death and grief, told from the perspective of Mexican culture.

Lovely illustrations and a very powerful and important message. This is a great choice for teaching children about humility—something we can all use a refresher on every now and then.

There's a surprising amount of information in this book. It covers everything you could ever want to know when starting your first garden. There are also some fascinating tidbits to help inspire young gardeners and a couple gardening crafts to get them started.

Very informative and surprisingly technical for a children's book. Everything was well illustrated and explained. And this book covers a broad spectrum of information about mushrooms—everything from their grown and composition to all the ways that mushrooms are used, both by nature and by humans.

Absolutely gorgeous. The art in this book is a marvel. It's magical and upliting—a true celebration of the seasons. Like the art, the story is also a beautiful reflection of the changing of the seasons. But the art. Have I mentioned how much I love the art?! It really is exceptional.

Okay! Okay! There was a fun twist in this that I didn't see coming. And what a delightful surprise it was to find a twist in a children's book. Unexpected and smile-inducing.

I adored this book. It is so inspirational, with its overarching message about defying discriminatory gendered customs. Young girls need more books like this, to show them how much of a difference one girl's bravery can make.
