Cute, sweet, and adorable with something to learn and even a bit of humor, too.

These pages are all about animals, ones well-known and lesse- known, too. Each page introduces a few, parents (mother, father or both) with their babies. The playful and rhyming text highlights each species and uses the term used for the animal's babies—puffins have puffling, wombats joeys, and many more. Every few pages, a repeated phrase about growing takes over. At the end, the book shifts the focus to include young, human children and ends in a warming, satisfying way.

The illustrations bring across each animal in an adorable way, give them personality, bring across a very positive atmosphere, and make each one recognizable, too. It's a smorgasborg for animal fans, and will draw more than a few awwws with the cute babies. The text is kept very short but still introduces the animals and the names of their babies, making it great even for impatient listeners. A catch phrase enables readers/listeners to join in every few pages, which adds an extra dab of fun. Young listeners aren't the only ones who will learn something, since adult readers will, most likely, not know all of the terms, either.

Not only is this a cute read, but it offers a sense of security and belonging. The animals are shown in loving scenes, and when this switches to human babies, it draws a smile. It's a wholesome read and even works well as a bedtime tale, since it is calming and radiates care and love. I do see this one as gaining an 'again' and becoming a snuggle-time favorite. I received an ARC and it put a smile on my family members' faces.

Mac, Jake, Nick, Cassie and Lily are members of Jazz Lab at their middle school, taught by the beloved Mr. Lewis whom they admire for all that he's taught them. When they learn Mr. Lewis is quitting, they believe it's due to budget cuts and that Jazz Lab and other extra-curricular activities are on the chopping block. With the help of Quag, a loner who skates under the radar at school, they mobilize the other students to protest the cuts. It culminates in a dramatic Jazz Lab performance of activism. Quick-paced with short chapters, readers see how each member of the band responds to the situation and grows as a member of their close-knit group. I felt the personalities of the band members weren't as distinctly drawn as Quag's but it's a strong story in terms of portraying youth agency.… (altro)
