We discovered a new library full of board books for borrowing. Spawn and I had quite a bit of fun. We also acquired a few new board books so lots of reading was had these last couple of months.

Hello World! Ocean Life by Jill McDonald

Bright, colorful, and factual. I would have enjoyed more facts per creature. My 20 month old didn't have the attention span for it. 4/5

I'm the Scariest Thing in the Castle by Kevin Sherry

Silly, spooky fun with some plot. I did voices so the spawn was begging me to read it on repeat. It's out of print as a board book so we'll be borrowing that again soon. 5/5

You Are My Magical Unicorn by Joyce Wan

Very pretty with a nice message but zero plot 3/5

Get Dressed Sasquatch by Kyle Sullivan

I loved this. It had a story, it rhymes, and it had a fun monster. Spawn didn't like this one as much as I did. 5/5

Hush Now Banshee! by Kyle Sullivan

A large variety of mythical creatures, counting, and a lesson about inside voices. It was a little too dense for spawn's attention span but I loved it. We'll try again in a few months 5/5

Good Night Krampus by Kyle Sullivan

Shorter but just as funny and sweet as the other two but I did voices so Spawn loved it. He'd ask for it. He loves it when I do voices. The message here is about going to bed. 5/5

La Llorona by Patty Rodriguez

Part of a bilingual series, they managed to make a very creepy lore into an acceptable children's book. It hinted without outright saying the inspiration. Spawn liked looking at the pictures of the mom and kids. 4/5

Lucha Libre by Patty Rodriguez

Spawn can identify most of his main body parts so this was fun. He requested it a couple of times. 5/5

Spooky Pookie by Sandra Boynton

Pookie needs a Halloween costume. It's cute. 5/5

Eek! Halloween! by Sandra Boynton

The chickens have no idea what chaos this is. Silly, spooky fun. 5/5

Here George by Sandra Boynton

George ignores his family, preferring to dance by himself 2.5/5

RuPaul Charles by Little Bee Books

Short, simple, factual, and too dense for my toddler's attention span 4/5
