I Spy Animals: A Fun Guessing Game Picture Book for Kids Ages 2-5 ( Picture Puzzle Book for Kids ) (I Spy Books for Kids 1) by Alek Malkovich
Colorful children's guessing book. Each letter of the alphabet has it's own page. It shows a lot of animals with the letter. You have child pick out the ones that start with that letter, they can name all of them to make it a fun game.
Next pages show the letter and the animal that corresponds to the beginning of the word.
Like letter Y the best because it shows the lobster, my favorite.
Other books in the series are highlighted and summarized at the end. 
Really cool book, so many ways to play games, colors, pictures, animals and the letters.









The Giraffe Who Found Its Spots by Adisan Books
Book wants you to be happy with who you  are and NOT try to change yourself. We are all special and unique in our own way.
This story is about a Giraffe who feels as if they don't fit in and they stick out in wrong places. He tries to be like other animals and be their friend by doing things they do: hyenas, monkeys cheetahs, ostriches, elephants, rhinos, flamingos, .
He gets an invite to a party and others tell him not to try so hard. Magic happens at the party and the giraffe is himself.
Colorful children's story and I like that there are many animals, some kids might not be familiar with.
Other works by the author  are highlighted at the end.
 









Look at Me I'm going to Spain!: A Bilingual Adventure! (Look at Me I'm Learning) by Daniel Williamson 
What I like about this book is that the first sentences are in English and the translation into Spanish are right below that.
Pictures also show what's going on.  So many things to do in Spain, fun things. Places to go, foods they eat,  and things they see. How they dance, art work at museums, there is so much to see there and enjoy.
Author makes this  a fun read where everybody is always smiling. End of the book summarizes everything they saw and did and visited. He can't decide what the likes best.
Other works by the author are listed at the end with a message from the author.
Enjoyable read.











Let's Talk! Going to the Zoo by Lisa Jacovsky 
Dedication page. Colorful, children's book.  They are able to visit the zoo and see a lot of different animals.
Even enlarged the print is still too small for me to read it comfortably. About the author is listed at the end.









Grandma I don't want to go to sleep: A Forever Love Tale by Richard Ceasor
Hard book for me to read as I've lost my mother and treasure everything she did with me.
This story starts out where the little boy just doesn't want to go to sleep. Pictures are on the dark side with black lettering, hard to see. Story is good. He tries many different things that pop up in his head to help him get to sleep.
Finally the night ends and you are left with memories of your grandmother.
