"Shoo" by Hana Goldberg Empowers Young Children with a Sweet Story of Finding New Friends to Love

Shoo is a sweet little homeless cat that has no place to go, no real food to eat and no one to love him. Maya is a cute little girl whose family moves and now she’s afraid she won’t make any new friends. Will these two meet and comfort each other?

This is an adorable and relatable children’s book for even the youngest child. The story touches on some feelings that many children experience – apprehension over making friends and bonding with pets.

I loved the colorful illustrations in this book. Shoo is a good story for parents and caregivers to read to preschoolers or for older children to read alone. Highly recommended!

Book Review of Bala-Gala the Brave and Dangerous by Gita V. Reddy

Bala-Gala lives among a variety of animals in the forest. Some of these animals are dangerous and Bala-Gala must find a way to avoid being eaten. Morphing into dangerous and brave animals is Bala-Gala’s specialty and readers will enjoy following the changes.

 

This was an imaginative and entertaining story. Readers will think the tale is going one way, but in the end, there’s a lovely surprise. Bala-Gala the Brave and Dangerous should hold the attention of even the smallest children, as they wait to see what happens. The illustrations are vivid, colorful and eye-catching. I could see this book being enjoyed not only at bedtime, but at anytime. Recommended!
