Book Review: Leslie Patricelli


Thanks to Team Mom, I recently got the chance to review two of Lisa Patricelli's children books, Baby Happy Baby Sad and Higher! Higher!

Patricelli's books are beautifully illustrated and make teaching simple concepts to children easy and fun. She has received great reviews from Scholastic Parent and Child and School Library Journal.

Baby Happy Baby Sad teaches children about emotions, and, more importantly, about empathy. The Guppy loved looking at the bright and beautiful illustrations and telling me whether the baby was happy or sad, while the Mermaid emphasized with the baby in the story, telling me that she gets sad too when her balloon flies away.

The girls especially loved Patricelli's newest book, Higher! Higher! And I would see why: what child doesn't dream of a swinging adventures to the stars? Like all the Patricelli books, the illustrations were beautiful!

Patricelli's books are published by Candlewick Press. For more information on her other titles, you can visit her website.
