It’s time for longer days and brighter skies and hopefully those Spring showers don’t catch you while you’re out! Spring time can be a really exciting for little ones; aside from egg hunts and eating chocolate, there’re a lots of things to do and see when you’re out in the Spring! Gardening, watching flowers bloom, seeing little baby animals… There are simply too many opportunities to explore the world outside, as well as the one in your books!

I remember getting very excited for Christmas every year as a young kid - and I still do! There’s something about the cheery atmosphere and all that delicious food and meeting family and friends. We’ve compiled this list with short summaries on books we recommend for Christmas.

Toshio Fukuda created a lovely series out of a simple and fun guessing game that’s suitable for beginner readers and very young children. The book is lovingly and thoughtfully designed. From the large, easy-to-read font to the soft cartoon drawings of all the cute animals, each book delivers a engaging experience for parent and child.

Overall, Lü Jiang has pieced together a wonderfully imaginative commute - if only commutes were so fantastical and enjoyable! It does a great job with an impressionist art style and a simple story while conveying the dream-like imagination of the child narrator. We have certain reservations about the art style and some of the more fantastical parts of the story, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that this is a beautifully and thoughtfully crafted book!
