Goodreads Synopsis: 

Meet a ladybug in this little book and follow her through the meadow to meet all kinds of different bugs. Discover wiggly worms, springy grasshoppers and even a butterfly coming out of its crysalis before the ladybird opens its wings and flies away. Very simple charming information written especially to read to babies. Babies will delight in discovering all kinds of bugs under the sturdy gatefold flaps, as well as recognising the spotty ladybird through the book. Sweet bright illustrations by Sarah Allen depict the bugs in a friendly, colourful way.

Short reviews for short books!

This Lift & Look book is adorable. Readers will follow a big bright ladybug as she scuttles around and find other bugs all the while also learning things about those bugs. The flaps are all little habitat pieces that are vibrant shades of green. While simplistic, the locations and the little bugs in the book are detailed and recognizable. 

Such cute little bugs, I think your little bugs will love it too.

Goodreads Synopsis: 

Baby Bear wants to play! But all his friends are busy!

Review: 

Short reviews for short books!

Baby Bear is a short board book perfect for early reading/readers. It follows a little bear looking for other woodland creatures to play with him. Sadly they are all busy, but all for good reason.

This book hightlights simple images with nice pastel colors and lots of woodland animals to share with your littles.  I understand that this theme is a common one in children's books, but this was a cute, quick, and easy story that I think parents and littles will love.
