I really like the illustrations.

The book is comprised of three short stories.

The first one- The Snack- this one is a bit problematic. It promotes sharing, but sharing food is typically not a great lesson for small kids. So many suffer from food allergies, it isn't safe.

The second- The Treasure Hunt- a cute treasure hunt, but feels underdeveloped.

The third- The Hatchlings- a missed opportunity about finding family with this one.

I received a digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Sweetly illustrated, this book reminds me of the simple, friendly stories of my own childhood. There’s nothing sly or wink-wink about it, nothing trying to also appeal to the grownups. These stories are about friendship and childhood, with no big “message” involved.

Possible Objectionable Material:
A child alone in the woods.

Who Might Like This Book:
Children who like simple, non-threatening, non-preachy stories with simple illustrations. This is definitely for the pre-K to grade 1 or 2 crowd; I'd disregard that suggested 8-12 age range.

Thank you, NetGalley, for the ARC. This book also reviewed at http://biblioquacious.blogspot.com/2017/08/a-panoply-of-picturebooks.html. and on Amazon, Goodreads, and Librarything.
