Kindle Children Books Freebie Round Up
Little Squirrel Squish Gets His Christmas Wish - Ross Hammond,Semih Akgul
The Runaway Singing Horse- Children's Picture Book - Debbie Madson
Mariko and the Magic Mirror - Kristi Shimada,Eko Setiawan
Grumpy Dinosaur - Michael Gordon
Dragon's Breath - Michael Gordon
Locks and the Three Bears Rap - Bev Moncrief,Ronny Hardyanto
Brave Benny - Kristen Petersen,Anatasia Teslova
The Christmas Bunny's Wild Adventure - Alma Hammond,Zuzana Svobodova
Arial the Youtuber - Mary Nhin,Jelena Stupar

The best of this bunch are  - Little Squirrel Squish (3.5 stars) about a squirrel who wants to be a reindeer.  The Christmas Bunny (4 stars) about Santa's bunny helper, Brave Benny (3 stars) which is about animals getting ready for winter.  It has the best pictures but I don't understand how a deer pounced joyfully and at times the illustrations were too dark for the word printed over them. 

 

Arial YouTuber is nice because it has extras that would interest a child, including a recipe and how-to guide. (3 Stars)

 

Grumpy Dinosaur and Dragon's Breath (3 star) aren't bad but the lesson is a bit heavy handed.

 

Mariko and the Magic Mirror is a good look at grief and death for children, but feels off because of the use of culture that isn't fully explored or used. (3 stars)

 

The worst is the Singing Horse (.5 star) which uses stereotypical illustrations of Native Americans.  I mean, living in teepees in the desert bad.

WE DON'T EAT OUR CLASSMATES by Ryan T. Higgins
We Don't Eat Our Classmates - Ryan T. Higgins,Ryan T. Higgins
Penelope Rex starts school and the other children are delicious so she eats them.  She then finds out that scares them.  She finally gets a sample of how the other children feel when she eats them.  And she learns the lesson well.
 
I love Ryan T. Higgins' books.  He is one of my favorite children's authors.  Penelope is fun.  The illustrations are great.  The story is cute.  Adorable!

HOTEL BRUCE by Ryan T. Higgins
Hotel Bruce - Ryan T. Higgins,Ryan T. Higgins

Bruce and the goslings come home from the south but find their home turned into a hotel.  Bruce takes it as long as he can then he has enough.

 

What a guest list!  Bruce tries for the goslings' sake but enough is enough and we find out what a softie Bruce is.  I loved the illustrations.  I laughed out loud again.  Just delightful!

MOTHER BRUCE by Ryan T. Higgins
Mother Bruce by Higgins, Ryan T. (November 24, 2015) Hardcover - Ryan T. Higgins

Bruce is a bear, not a nursery rhyme kind of guy, but somehow the goslings think he's their mother. He tries to teach them to fly south but the lessons never take so he must take them south.

This is one of the funniest, laugh out loud tales I have read. I loved it! Nothing like guilt to motivate one. Delightful, whimsical, fun!
