The Know It Owl and the Otter is part of a new series by children’s author Terri Sabol. The Know It Owl wants to educate everyone and dispel misconceptions about animals. Today, he’s visiting Otter. Otter is a North American river otter, and Owl is going to teach him everything he needs to know about himself, including banishing misconceptions and teaching the differences between the types of otters. Kids will learn amazing facts about these mammals through humorous dialogue between Owl and Otter, and they can even act out the two parts for themselves. Welcome to the wonderful world of otters, and learn all you need to know, thanks to the Know It Owl.
The Know It Owl and the Otter is a wonderful story by the very talented Terri Sabol, coupled with stunning illustrations by Paula Piechna. In this educational book, kids can follow the Know It Owl as he attempts to correct misconceptions about animals, in this case, the river otter from North America. It is informative—I learned a lot—and there are activities scattered throughout for kids to do to help cement their understanding and make learning fun. At the back of the book, kids will find a drawing exercise and learn where the river otter is on the list of endangered species. I hope that, like Terri’s other books, this will foster a sense of responsibility in younger readers to preserve what is left of our natural kingdom and help it thrive. This is the perfect book for caregivers to read to kids at any time of day, but it should also be included as part of the reading syllabus in every school.

The Little Adventures of Erig the Earwig, written by Andy Evans and illustrated by Lucy Fleming, follows Erig, an earwig, on a series of adventures to learn about life and its challenges. After completing four training challenges set by his mother, Erig meets Bob, a copper beetle with a missing leg, and together they help a variety of other creatures. They assist Kiri and Kai, two stick insects, in gaining confidence, help Dot embrace transformation, and guide Wisbet, and her woodlouse family, to a new home. The duo also aids in spreading fungi spores, learns about nature’s interconnectedness, and helps the woodlice plan a picnic. As winter approaches, Erig and Bob consult with various insects about winter survival, eventually deciding to spend the season together under Erig’s log. Throughout their journey, they demonstrate kindness, teamwork, and problem-solving, forming lasting bonds with the creatures they encounter.
The Little Adventures of Erig the Earwig by Andy Evans is a delightful journey into the miniature world of insects, filled with heartwarming moments and endearing characters. The adventures of Erig and his friend Bob are perfect for younger readers, as well as those who are young at heart. I genuinely enjoyed sharing Erig's adventures with my youngest little human. We both decided that Dot, the daddy-long-legs struggling with transformation, and Little Ron, the playful woodlouse, were particularly memorable and definitely our favorites. The writing is pitch-perfect, with the natural world brought to life through their interactions, and also through the beautiful charcoal sketches by Lucy Fleming. The illustrations complement the storytelling and are of an exceptionally high quality. Overall, the book offers a truly special adventure that celebrates the wonders of nature and friendship. Very highly recommended.

Ajia Kirchgasser’s Molly Mae’s Milkshakes is an enchanting romp into finding your place in the world. Molly Mae happens to be born into a family of cows that produce award-winning milk. However, Molly Mae can’t make milk at all. Her friend C.K. Doodle encourages her to find her talent, and she tries many new things without much success. She begins to despair that she is talentless. Molly Mae’s Milkshakes teaches kids persistence and that everyone has value—sometimes it takes a while to find what you are good at doing. The pictures are delightful—I especially loved the explosion Daphne creates in the kitchen. Although the images are 3-D, they are clearly designed by an artist and are not computer-generated.
Molly Mae is a lovable cow that many kids will understand and relate to as she goes through trials in trying to find something she is good at doing. Ajia Kirchgasser’s Molly Mae’s Milkshakes will also appeal to kids who feel like the 'black sheep' of their family because siblings get better grades or are better at sports. The pacing is perfect, and children will laugh at the results of the things she does unsuccessfully. I also found it unique and true to life that Molly Mae initially has feelings of inadequacy, and then, after failing at many different things, she returns to that dark spot. Trying new things can be stressful, but the next new thing may be just the right thing for you. This is an important lesson to learn especially with kids today who are prone to give up at the first sign of difficulty.

Mary L. Schmidt and Michael Schmidt help children overcome grief in Shadow. Shadow was a long-haired Dachshund greatly loved by ten-year-old Nanci, eight-year-old Tim, and their parents. The children loved spending time with Shadow and grew concerned when Shadow started slowing down. Shadow was old, and death was imminent. One day, Shadow did not wake up, and the children realized she would never wake up again. The parents helped their children understand the grieving process and provided loving support. When handled properly, the death of a pet can help prepare children for the inevitable death of other family members. I spent over forty years counseling and can honestly say this book will be a great help for any child whose pet dies. If I were still practicing, I would have a copy of this book in my waiting room.
For most children, the death of a beloved pet is the first experience of grief. Shadow by Mary L. Schmidt and Michael Schmidt gently and compassionately addresses grief and how to deal with it. The authors make many great suggestions for keeping the memory of the loved one in their hearts. It helps to look at pictures and talk about favorite times with their pet. Feeling accepted, loved, and supported during the grieving process is vital. This children’s picture book is beautifully illustrated. The young reader can feel the love that the Schmidts had for Shadow. As your child reads this book, they will identify with the pain and anger that grief brings. Grief brings up many emotions, and it is ok to feel each one. I highly recommend this book for all children.

Lou the Big Horned Rhino: A Funny Rhyming Children's Book About Positive Self-Esteem by Papa Moose is a great book to teach children to appreciate and love themselves as they are. Lou is famous because of his big horn, which allows him to defeat all his opponents during The Rhino Games, but he feels insecure about the size of his horn. He feels it is too big and wants to have a smaller horn and be like all the other rhinos. One day, Lou sees a poster about a doctor who claims he can fix any imperfection and eagerly schedules an appointment with the doctor. However, Lou reconsiders his options when he meets a zebra who regrets his wish to become a horse.
I love how Lou the Big Horned Rhino teaches relevant life lessons in an engaging way with lovely illustrations by William Velasco. Through Lou, we learn that sometimes the things we’re ashamed of are what make us unique and are valuable to who we are. Lou also teaches that it’s good to stand up for friends when they are bullied by defending his zebra friend from lions. Children will also learn the importance of complimenting people, as it might just be what they need to stop feeling insecure. I also love the attention to detail in the illustrations. I felt this enhanced the storytelling, such as when Lou defeats Bruce, another rhino, during the games, and the look of astonishment on the face of Bruce’s supporter is evident. There is also a nice coloring activity at the end of the book. I recommend this book to preteen readers.
