Looking forward to the spring. Well, this book I found is just right. It is called Great and Small Easter. It is a good one to have on your little ones' bookshelves. It is a flap book. Which is good for the little one to open the flap.

You and your child can open the flaps and learn new animal sounds. I am rating this book 4.5 only because I got it in the format of a digital and not the board book. I could not open the flaps like in a physical copy. This one should be only in a physical copy and not a digital copy. Other than that this book is good.

The pictures are done well. The picture is pretty to look at. The rhyming is sweet. The animals that are shown tell about a new spring and holiday is about. It is not too complicated. If I had received his book in the physical copy I would have reviewed it and then sent it to my little cousin who would be enjoying them.

I do enjoy these little flap books. They can be enjoyed by all and little ones throughout the year. Any child or children would enjoy opening the flaps and learn different animal sounds or sounds that deal with the spring-like weather.

Wonderfully honest and refreshing
Very rarely do we see such an honest glimpse of depression, a hideous and insidious condition that affects a large part of the population. However, Matt Haig's self-help book crosses over into the memoir genre, in which he speaks about his journey through the depths of his anxiety.

It is brutal at times, especially when he speaks about contemplating suicide, but it is ultimately hopeful. Although not everything will resonate with everyone, the main factors are similar across the board, and it allows you to gain insight into other's experiences of the illness. A surprisingly good read.

A gripping thriller and considering it incorporates a lot of my usually least favorite themes (missing kid, unfaithful partners...) it speaks a lot to how good a writer Hillier is. that I bombed through this once I started it.

The lives of the rich and stylish often grate but I was fully in for celebrity hair stylish Marin's turbulent existence following the abduction of her young son.

This book went in unexpected directions and despite some eyebrow-raising coincidences kept me on board for the whole journey.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for the copy.
