 Warmflash Rosenbaum, Andria. Big Sister, Little Monster. Illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham. Scholastic. 40p. 2017. ISBN 9780545831925 Ages (6 and up). An adorable story from the endpage to endpage! On the first endpage, we see a little red-haired girl who we later find out is named Mia, Mia is counting and jumping through puddles calling out to her sister. In typical little sister fashion, Mia follows her sister Lucy EVERYWHERE! Lucy feels as if her little sister is an annoying little monster and tells her to get lost. When her wish comes true, and real monsters want to keep Mia, Lucy gets monstrous too! With vivid colors spreading from each corner of the book, Fotheringham really showcases the love and nuisance of having a younger sibling. Through Rosenbaum's dialogue, the reader is shown how grateful they should be to having a younger sibling. Highly recommended for older siblings who need to be gently reminded that, it's not always so bad having a little sibling.

A fun storytime book about achieving and reaching for your dreams, Laden uses her illustrations to give even more details to the story and about the bugs Roberto is building for. Leaving off with an important message of being creative and follow your dreams this is a perfect story for young children.

Rotner, Shelley. Lots of Feelings. Millbrook Press. 22p. 2003. ISBN 0761328963. Ages (1 and Up) A great educational tool to teach and normalize human emotions. Each page shows multiple children expressing a simple feeling such as love, anger, sadness, shyness etc. The children are different ages, different ethnicities and races. Through the simple text we can show children it is okay to have feelings and that other children experience these feelings too. It is also an opportunity to expose them to new words, the bookends are covered in a multitude of feeling words that children may not have heard before such as zestful, vulnerable, rambunctious, etc. Ending the book with a question about feelings allows the child to open up and speak about their current emotional state.
