I received a complimentary copy of this book from Reedsy Discovery.  I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.

 

Family vacation prep can be stressful. There’s finding a pet and/or house sitter, packing, getting to your departure place on time, and remembering your identification and tickets. Mama Sheep has the fix to ensure everything goes off smoothly and nothing is forgotten; she’s created “The Big Cruise Day Checklist.” Mama Sheep methodically goes through the list with her family, making sure nothing is overlooked. Pack something special. Check, even though one child’s choice was a risky item for a ship! Put the suitcases in the taxi. Check! Deliver the pet and plants to the sitters. Check and check! Make sure you have the tickets! Check! Mama Sheep checks the list more than once, and everything seems to be in order. Now, it’s smooth sailing from here, right? Wrong!

No matter how well families prepare for a vacation, there’s always that one thing they forget. Maybe even a multiple of things! Ask your kid(s) to guess what they think the sheep family forgot before the story’s big unveiling. Teachers, also ask your class to share if they or their family ever forgot something for a trip. Mama Sheep took the missing vacation item(s) rather well, but it prompted her to add a new item to her vacation checklist: a very important item no one wants to overlook! (No spoilers!)

Mama Sheep and the Big Cruise Day Checklist was a fun read. Kids will enjoy watching the Sheep family prepare for a cruise. Parents and Educators will love that the story offers opportunities for group discussions and is also pleasing to the eye. The various animals in human clothing were cute, and so were the sheep’s heart-shaped noses. Kids as young as 2 will love the illustrations, but 3- to 7-year-olds will be more inclined to guess what was left behind and share their own vacation mishap memories. I encourage you to read Mama Sheep and the Big Cruise Day Checklist and Mama Sheep and the Mysterious Cup!

Bunny – Inspired by Lulu

(review request submitted by the author for an honest critique) 

 

Bunny and Fawn are back, embarking on an exciting adventure to solve a great mystery: what creature lurks in the forest? Put your thinking caps on and join them on this thrilling journey!

The story begins by giving readers a recap of The Adventures of Bunny and Fawn, explaining how the friends came to live close to a brown bear named Bear. The three animals loved being neighbors. The drawing of Bear playfully tossing Bunny into the water was both cute and funny, and so was the one where Bear tossed the “creature” into the water, too.

The creature’s identity was a great mystery. I had an idea of what it was going to be before opening the book, but I was in for a surprise. Have your child or class guess its identity and see if their guess is correct. Ask your audience if they have heard of the mysterious creature’s name before, and then explain its meaning. It’s not a simple, common name like ‘Bunny’ and ‘Bear.’ (No spoilers.)

The Adventures of Bunny and Fawn beautifully illustrate why it is crucial not to make assumptions about someone. Instead of judging someone by how they look, take a moment to get to know them. You might learn something new or even make a new friend!

Join Bunny, Fawn, and Bear as they embark on a quest to discover who left the hoof prints, made the strange noises, and also had glowed like a flashlight in the night. Laugh as you watch Bear poke his head out from a fall-colored tree top and see Bunny holding tight to Fawn’s neck as they poke their heads out from the middle of a bush.

Great mystery. Funny illustrations. This story is sure to be a hit with family and educators. It did have a couple of hard-to-read spots, but other than that, it was picture-perfect and very entertaining.

Recommended reading age is 3 to 8 years.
