Terry Pratchett made footnotes into an artform, and ever since I've had a soft spot for them (when done well).

Book Review: The Little Red Hen Learns How to Ask For Help A fresh approach and a clever twist make this new version of β€œThe Little Red Hen” one that today’s children can enjoy and learn from.

In THE LITTLE RED HEN LEARNS HOW TO ASK FOR HELP, Jasmine Sears's fresh approach elevates this classic story to a satisfying new level with a surprising twist that teaches children kindness and empathy for others. Take a look!

I seriously love Eugenia Chu's books. Her stories unfold a vibrant culture before young readers that is both thoughtful and thought-provoking. #kidlit

To this day, my favorite Richard Scarry book is "Postman Pig" because of the hidden pickles on every page.

#ThrowbackThursday So, this book of mine is no longer in print. The publisher folded and then my energy was all toward family & friend needs. But! THE SQUEEZOR IS COMING remains so dear to me and one day I hope to resurrect it. Excerpt-> authorbeckyb.wordpress.com/the-squeezor... #kidlit #kidlitart

15.01.2026 21:20 β€” πŸ‘ 5    πŸ” 1    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Includes stories of:
A giantess who weaves dreams
A creature who delivers ideas in the form of flower
A mechanical jellyfish that loses its freedom to a greedy factory owner

- Okay, I'm hooked! #kidlit #kidlitart

How absolutely charming. I'd have loved this as a kid - and I love it now. #kidlitart

I so appreciate that! I have to think about it still - I'm only just edging back into this wonderful world after a hiatus. I have a lot of "want to," just have to balance the "have to" demands. 😏

Your description is the best I've read so far. "Gorgeously humane and furious" is so apt! "Feet of Clay" has been teasing at my peripherals for awhile, so I figure I'm about due for a reread too. Fortunately, you can start in the middle even as a new reader (I did). Pratchett was that good.

It really does. Even if you can't keep yourself from editing right after. πŸ˜€

Shout-out to the "Talking Tales" series by Erica Graham. These adorable books help children with #speechdevelopment, with each book focusing on sounds such as β€œr” and β€œr” blends, "p", and "ch". talkingtalesbooks.com #kidlit #kidlitart
