I was happy to read Part 2 of this book series, as I enjoyed Part 1. Grumpy the Iguana, Little Mouse, Green Parrot and Mr Squirrel help Giant Sea Turtle who is waiting for his babies to come out of the sand. This is a heartwarming book, which made me feel happy and warm inside. It is very cute! I preferred the illustrations in Part 1, but they were still nice in Part 2.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Babies On Board part 2 by Susan Marie Chapman is the second book in a children's book series about a group of animals. According to the description, "Part 2 takes us back to the beach but this time it is nighttime and Grumpy and friends have promised to deliver the baby sea turtles to the father safe and sound." Although I had not read part 1, I did not have any trouble enjoying part 2.
Overall, Babies On Board part 2 is an adorable children's book that will teach children about nature. One highlight of this book is the storyline. I liked how the plot of the book incorporated helping baby sea turtle return to their father. I did take off 2 stars, because I wasn't a huge fan of the art. I liked the colors and the backgrounds, but something about the animals' faces felt a bit weird. If you're intrigued by the description, you can check out this book, which is available now!
I have loved this whole series with these characters and this one was just as good as the rest of them I've read. The illustrations are really cute and the characters are relatable.
When Grumpy the Iguana, Green Parrot, Mr. Squirrel and Little Mouse set out for a night at the beach, they never expect to spend the night helping baby sea turtles find their father.
Since I have not read the other books in the series, I was not as familiar with the characters as I felt I should have been. I didn't really know much about them or their friendship. However, the story was cute and I enjoyed watching them figure out how to assist their friend with his hatching babies.
I did have a little problem with the fonts. I was reading an advanced e-copy, so perhaps this will be fixed in the final publication, but I noticed the author used different font colors to separate the dialogue from the text. While I liked this concept, it was inconsistent. On one page, it looked as if a different font was used in addition to a different color. At one point, one character's dialogue was one color on one page and another color on another page. Similarly, there was a page where two characters spoke with the same color. I would have liked a little more consistency, perhaps each character having his own color.
Overall, however, my three-year-old enjoyed reading this story with me. I found it cute and will look for others in the series.
