It’s been a long while since I posted any book reviews here. The truth is, I’ve been having a bit of a hard time finding books that really make me happy. I don’t want to write these reviews with any book I fall on, and so it has been a bit of a dry summer. That being said, what a pleasure it is for me to share Grandes Oreilles by Julie Delporte with you! Dog lovers, you are going to love this one!

When I saw this book at the library, I just couldn’t resist the adorable bear on the cover of the book. Let’s see what he’s up to in Old Bear by Kevin Henkes.

One of the books I found during this time is It starts with a seed, by Laura Knowles and illustrated by Jennie Webber.

A few months ago, a friend recommended that I check out Britta Teckentrup because she thought I would love this illustrator’s work. My friend was right! I had the chance of receiving Home through the inter-library loans. Let’s jump in!

Ever since I found Chester by Ayano Imai at my local library, I’ve been obsessed with it. I keep borrowing it again and again, and looking for it every time I go to used books stores. So far no luck, but the interlibrary loans have come through again. This week, I received Forest Dream.

This week, let’s travel to the West Coast and it’s magical forests with the book West Coast Wild Rainforest, by Deborah Hodge and Karen Reczuch.

Last year, around this time, I shared a beautifully colourful and impactful book: Time Is a Flower, by Julie Morstad. I’m really excited to share another one of this illustrator’s book today. This time, let’s dive right in A Face Is a Poem.

Every time I pick up a book by Jan Brett, I am amazed at this author-illustrator’s work. Let’s jump right in The Three Snow Bears.

A few months ago, I backed Kriksis on her kickstarter campaign to bring her book project to life. Fast forward to a few days ago when I finally received the book. I’m so excited to share my thoughts on Birds in Colour.

I was so excited when this book arrived through the interlibrary loans because I’ve admired Cassandra Calin’s funny and relatable comics for years now. Let’s have a look at her graphic novel The New Girl.

Once in a while, a book makes its way to me through the interlibrary loans that I don’t remember ordering. It is part of the magic of libraries that just the right book finds you at the right time. This week’s book is one of those. Let’s have a look at The Wildwood Elves by Anne-Marie Chapouton and illustrated by Gerda Muller.

And the fascination with Briony May Smith’s books continues! I just love her work so much! Let’s dive right into Mermaid Moon.

Halloween is coming, and I couldn’t resist picking up this adorable book by one of my favourite illustrators, Briony May Smith. Let’s have a look at Witch in Training written by Michelle Robinson.

If you’ve looked through the different book reviews on this blog, you might have picked up that I love a good fairy story. Fairies are fascinating, and it’s wonderful to have so many different interpretations of them available in books and stories. This week, let’s have a look at Ella’s Night Lights, written and illustrated by Lucy Fleming.

I went to my favourite bookstore, Brome Lake Books, a few weeks ago. Of course, I didn’t leave empty-handed. Let’s have a look at Tiny Jenny by Briony May Smith.

I found this book at the online library, and it was such a fun discovery! Let’s have a look at The Land of Lines by Victor Hussenot.

A while ago, I read and reviewed Garlic and the Vampire by Bree Paulsen. I loved this cosy book so much! I was really excited to read the next adventure, and I finally got it from the interlibrary loans. Let’s have a look at Garlic and the Witch!

I love stop motion films because they are such a feat of skills and patience. From making the dolls, to all the decor pieces and animating everything: it just feels like magic! That’s why I was so excited to find The Making of Fantastic Mr. Fox from Rizzoli New York.
