Little Squirrel Squish Gets His Christmas Wish - Ross Hammond, Semih Akgul The Runaway Singing Horse- Children's Picture Book - Debbie Madson Mariko and the Magic Mirror - Kristi Shimada, Eko Setiawan Grumpy Dinosaur - Michael Gordon Dragon's Breath - Michael Gordon Locks and the Three Bears Rap - Bev Moncrief, Ronny Hardyanto Brave Benny - Kristen Petersen, Anatasia Teslova The Christmas Bunny's Wild Adventure - Alma Hammond, Zuzana Svobodova Arial the Youtuber - Mary Nhin, Jelena Stupar

The best of this bunch are  - Little Squirrel Squish (3.5 stars) about a squirrel who wants to be a reindeer.  The Christmas Bunny (4 stars) about Santa's bunny helper, Brave Benny (3 stars) which is about animals getting ready for winter.  It has the best pictures but I don't understand how a deer pounced joyfully and at times the illustrations were too dark for the word printed over them. 

 

Arial YouTuber is nice because it has extras that would interest a child, including a recipe and how-to guide. (3 Stars)

 

Grumpy Dinosaur and Dragon's Breath (3 star) aren't bad but the lesson is a bit heavy handed.

 

Mariko and the Magic Mirror is a good look at grief and death for children, but feels off because of the use of culture that isn't fully explored or used. (3 stars)

 

The worst is the Singing Horse (.5 star) which uses stereotypical illustrations of Native Americans.  I mean, living in teepees in the desert bad.
