My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I would have given this a higher rating, but the font of the title makes it look like “Dotty Star.” It took me a minute to figure out what the book was about.

I think this is a great book for those stubborn potty trainers. It explains a little more than other books geared toward younger kids.

Good luck to those parents who have kids who need this book!

A Children’s Book About Whining by Joy Berry

A Children’s Book About Whining by Joy Berry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I remember reading the books in this series to my children when they were young. There were some books with great advice for the children and parents on how to handle difficult behavior.

I think I kept this one because I knew whining sometimes lasts into adulthood. The techniques in the book are great!

I would recommend this to anyone with a child who whines. Read aloud to the child. It will help you both.

A Children's Book About Whining

The Good Egg by Jory John

The Good Egg

The Good Egg by Jory John
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I found this on a search for a different book, and I thought it looked cute. The story is about an egg who takes care of everyone but himself. It’s a lesson in self-care.

It was a quick read and I think its theme is a little advanced for the age group that it was written for.

I am not sure who I would recommend the book to, since its not really a book for young kids, but it’s not advanced enough for an adult. It was a cute read with a good lesson, though. It just aimed too high.

The Cool Bean by Jory John

The Cool Bean

The Cool Bean by Jory John
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book about fitting in with others would be best read by a child himself. If the child needs to be read to still, he may not be old enough to understand the message in the book.

It was very cute, though. The cool bean thought that his friends had deserted him, but in reality, they were right there for him when he needed them.

At the beginning of the book, I took it to mean that the beans had started middle school, but the maturity level of the book is a little younger than that.

Mother’s Little Secret: Children’s Picture Book About the Unconditional and Boundless Love of a Mother for a Child by Melissa Winn

Mother’s Little Secret: Children’s Picture Book About the Unconditional and Boundless Love of a Mother for a Child by Melissa Winn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a beautiful poem that would work well as a bedtime book. The words are soft and flowing and they express the love a mother has for a child. The illustrations go very well with the words. I enjoyed this book immensely.

My Mum Is A Loser by Jim Smith


My Mum Is A Loser by Jim Smith
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I grabbed this book because it was a freebie on Amazon. I read it quickly, since it was short. It was about an awful behaving child who was acting up, and the only part that I really liked about the book was that the mother didn’t give in to the bad behavior. The illustrations are ok, and some of the descriptions were definitely written for pre-teen boys. It definitely isn’t a book I will read again.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a cute book on how babies learn to love from their parents. It has cute illustrations and a little blurb about each type of animal. Small children would enjoy this being read to them while they look at the pictures.

A House Full of Llamas: Funny Book for Children to Spark Imagination

I really enjoyed this book. The illustrations were wonderful and the story itself was fun but not too silly. It was clear that the story was a dream and not just a weird thing that happened. Children would love to have this story read to them and the adult reading would not be bored.
