Picture Books 3: Trees and Pups

Welcome to the third installment of what I’ve gotten at the library for my toddler. At the time of writing, one of these books I’ve read enough times I feel as if I have it memorized. As always, my toddler picks a book and I pick a book, and then we see whose pick works. This series isn’t a review but rather ad adventure into children’s literature where I take you with me.

 My pick was, We Planted a Tree by Diane Muldrow and Illustrated by Bob Staake. The illustrations caught my eye off the bat. I LOVE the art style. It brings me peace in each page. Unfortunately, the toddler was not as amused. In fact, he demanded we closed it halfway through a dozen times. We have very different tastes. I thought it would be a win because of the short sentences and there is a lot to discuss on each page.

 My toddler’s pick was PAW Patrol: The Movie: Big City Adventures by Nicole Johnson and Illustrated by Wedoo Studio. The toddler has decided in the last couple months that PAW Patrol is just as good as strawberries. We haven’t watched the movie this is based after but I have read the book at least once a day. He loves naming the characters on each page and telling me some of what he hears them say.
