Good morning, little bears! 🐻 The twins are back for another #picturebook review, this time featuring BEAR MEETS BEAR by Jacob Grant & what happens when Bear develops an instant crush that zaps his ability to function. . . In the book, Bear is struck silent when his teapot is delivered by Panda. He is enchanted, but can’t work up the nerve to say anything. Desperate for another chance, he orders a second teapot … only to remain quiet when Panda delivers it. And so he tries again, and again, and again. . . Luckily for Bear, his friend Spider is there to help out — and put a stop to more teapot ordering! . . I adore the other books in this series, and BEAR MEETS BEAR is equally as charming. Grant’s illustrations really shine as a key part of the storytelling — and that’s honestly the best part of a good picture book, is when the story is told equally through images as in words. Bear’s expressions convey so much his adoration, embarrassment and frustration. . . BEAR MEETS BEAR is available now. Thanks to @bloomsburychildrens for the review copy. . . #babieswhoread #booksandbabies #babiesandbooks #picturebooks #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #childrensbookstagram #childrensbooks #kidlitbooks #bloomsburykids #cartersbaby #kidswhoread #booksforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/CH-jFSgg4dT/?igshid=1v6iw8d9ncqh4

One of my favourite stories recently was "Hattie Peck", about an eggless chicken determined to make herself a family. So I was thrilled when I came across Debi Gliori's "Dragon's Extraordinary Egg" (2013) and found an equally beautiful, heartwarming story about found family and how parental love defies mere biology. Throw in a bit of adventure and a great surprise, and you have the perfect read-aloud. 💖 ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #dragonsextraordinaryegg #debigliori #bloomsburykids #booklove #readingtime #childrensliterature #childrenbook #preschooleducation #primaryed #mominspiration #childrensbookstagram #growingreaders #astoryaday #schoollibrarian #homeschoolmom #booksforbetter #bedtimestory #libraryforkids https://www.instagram.com/p/B3SlK7jHdVs/?igshid=1ayj4pmuk3vev

Synopsis: In a small town on the banks of Lake Laloozee lives the world's greatest flamingo detective. His name is Fabio. He's not tall or strong, but slight and pink. And he's very, very clever.It's the height of summer and Fabio and his associate Gilbert are taking a relaxing holiday journey on the fastest train in the world! But no sooner does the conductor call 'All aboard' than a very expensive ruby necklace disappears and the great detective is back on the case!The second book in the hilarious illustrated mystery series by the author of Captain Pug. - 📚. Sounds promising for 2nd and 3rd grade classes. I promise to report back and let you know. - 📚. 📚. 📚. #bookstagram #earlyreaders #schoollibrary #elementaryschoollibrary #schhollibrarian #childrensbooks #books #booktuber #bookish #booklr #booksandcoffee #substitutelibrarian #bloomsburykids #laurajames https://www.instagram.com/p/B1rIE25gg5k/?igshid=yvamsno5g9g5

Sister books are the best! And sister books with unicorns are the super best. I liked reading The Secret in the Stone by Kamilla Benko so much and watching Claire come into her own. . . . #bloomsburykids #secretinthestone #unicornquest #bookstagram #bookish #bookreview #sisters #kamillabenko #bookaddict #bookishlove #booksandshares #bookishgirl #bookblogger #booknerd #kidlit https://www.instagram.com/thestorysanctuary/p/BwaPVtJn2Gh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1efoy54mpv5mh

STAND UP AGAINST THE BIRTHRIGHT YA BOOK COMING OUT NEXT YEAR

ok, so let’s start from the beginning. 

In March this year, author Haley Neil announced her debut, “ONCE MORE WITH CHUTZPAH”, a YA novel about an American teen who goes on a birthright trip to Israel and dicovers her sexuality. 

This concept is a slap to the face of Palestinians.

Birthright trips are propaganda trips funded by the Israeli government, allowing Jewish young adults from around the world to visit it. THESE TRIPS ARE ZIONIST PROPAGANDA MACHINES. They are insidiously cruel, because they imply any Jewish teen from around the world has a “””right””” to visit historic Palestine, while the millions upon millions of Palestinians who trace their entire family history to that land, and who STILL hold on to the keys of the homes they were forced to flee in 1948 with equal parts hope and desperation, are systematically denied the right to ever set foot in their homeland ever again. 

As you can see, having birthright trips be the backdrop of some teen’s “self-discovery” journey is appalling. HOWEVER, HALEY NEIL CHOSE TO SOMEHOW MAKE IT EVEN WORSE. The practice of using LGBT rights as propaganda to hide Israel’s ethnic cleansing and extreme oppression of Palestinians is known as Pinkwashing, and it’s a propaganda tactic that’s been used for a long time by Zionists. Not only is it pure evil to use apparent progressive values to eclipse ethnic cleansing and apartheid, BUT ISRAELI FORCES RUOTINELY BLACKMAIL GAY PALESTINIANS INTO BEING INFORMERS. THEY COULD NOT CARE LESS ABOUT LGBT RIGHTS, OR ABOUT ANY OF THE BASIC RIGHTS OF PALESTINIANS. 

Palestinian activist Emily Khilfeh tried to vey politely reach out to the author, agent, and editor of the book, and THEY ALL IGNORED HER. THESE PEOPLE WHO PRETENDED TO CARE ABOUT POC IN PUBLISHING A FEW WEEKS AGO IMMEDIATELY IGNORED A WOC EXPRESSING CONCERN OVER THEIR DISGUSTING BOOK. Only after her tweets telling what happened gained traction did they deign to give statements on the issue. 

This is Haley Neil’s lukewarm, bullshit statement. If you’re not familiar with Zionist talking points, this might seem like an alright response to you, but the absolute uselessness of it can be summarised by noticing how she discussed her “complex feelings” about attending Jerusalem Pride because of the LGBTphobia present in Israel, WHILE NOT EVEN THINKING THAT PALESTINIAN PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF ARENT EVEN ALLOWED INTO JERUSALEM. She didn’t think to employ Palestinian sensitivity readers until AFTER the controversy. She fully intends to publish this Zionist, pinkwashing propaganda with only some “revisions” to appease the more liberal critics. 

THIS WHOLE BOOK IS A MESS AND AN INSULT TO PALESTINIANS SUFFERING FROM HORRIFYING OPPRESSION BY THE HANDS OF ISRAEL. IT HAS TO BE STOPPED FROM BEING PUBLISHED. 

Since these people have shown they only care about making money and maintaining their reputation, the only way to REALLY make them listen is to hit them where it hurts. 

IF YOU CARE ABOUT COMBATING ZIONIST PROPAGANDA AT ALL, PLEASE GO TO THE BOOK’S GOODREADS PAGE, GIVE A ONE STAR RATING, AND WRITE A SMALL REVIEW EXPLAINING WHY. Making a Goodreads account if you don’t have one only takes 5 minutes, and is very easy!!!! It’s also a pretty important site for the publishing industry, especially for debut books like this one!!!!

ALSO, PLEASE TWEET THE PUBLISHER,  @bloomsburykids, DEMANDING THEY PULL THE BOOK, AND EMAIL THEM AT  contact@bloomsbury.com IF YOU CAN. 

Publishing is a money hungry industry that DOESNT CARE about POC, but if they see this kind of debut book is getting this much backlash, then they will think twice about publishing it. HELP PALESTINIANS OUT

What are some of your favorite bedtime stories? 🦉 Many thanks to @bloomsburychildrens for sending us this copy of LITTLE OWL'S BEDTIME, about a little owl who has many, many excuses to keep from falling asleep -- and the very patient mommy owl who tackles each hurdle as they come. . . My twins aren't old enough yet to try any of these bedtime delay tactics, but I'm sure they're coming! 😂 My daughter, especially, gets the worst case of baby FOMO when it's time for naps. This week's sleep regression aside, I am grateful that both kids seem to be pretty decent night sleepers, at least, even if their naps are questionable. . . #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooks #booksandbabies #babiesandbooks #babieswhoread #picturebooks #childrensbookstagram #kidlit #childrensbooks #bloomsburykids #bedtimebooks #bedtimebook #bedtimestory #bookinhand https://www.instagram.com/p/CHlr4MvgdNg/?igshid=1zsuoo3fxl94

We can all name an endless number of bedtime stories--I just shared one yesterday!--but how many great books are there about waking up? It can be just as difficult to get kids enthused about morning routines as bedtime. I'm a big fan of Sandra Boynton's classic "Hey, Wake Up" (2000), for example. But more recently I discovered the fabulous new "Welcome to Morningtown" (2019) by Blake Liliane Hellman. Accompanied by colour-washed illustrations by Steven Henry, it gently and cheerfully takes kids through the joys of early morning sunrises, stretches, and yummy breakfasts, among other things. A sweet way to remind kids of all the best things about starting their day. ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #welcometomorningtown #blakelilianehellman #stevenhenry #bloomsburykids #bibliophile #childhoodunplugged #wakingup #morningroutines #homeschoolfamily #preschoolers #primaryschool #kindergartenteachers #librarianstyle #homeschool kindergarten #juniorinfants #teachingreading #classroombooks #newkidsbooks #fatherreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LEJ7GnvWS/?igshid=3ea464hl8t1n

ARC Mini Review - This Wicked Fate

Today I'm reviewing This Wicked Fate by Kalynn Bayron. It was filled with fascinating mythology, beautiful plant magic, & lots of adventure. Thank you to #NetGalley and @bloomsburykids for the eARC! #BookTwitter #bookblogger

Hello, everyone! Today I’m reviewing This Wicked Fate by Kalynn Bayron. I wasn’t sure I wanted to read this sequel because I didn’t really love the first book, but I’m glad I gave it a shot. How much would you risk to save the ones you love?
