This book is so cute! Bo is truly fearless and kind and smart, and I loved her sweet character. The story is interesting and funny, with a repetitive plot that is perfect for little readers. Children love repetition and this book has just the right balance in the writing.

The illustrations are captivating! The contrasting colors really focus the attention on key characters and items in the artwork, and the rest of the background is in black and white. It’s beautifully done, and I love the art style.

The messages of kindness and self-reliance are wonderful, and teach children a little lesson in a fun way. The whole book is perfection, and I enjoyed it so much!

Disclaimer: I received an ecopy of this book via NetGalley in exchange for a free and honest review.

At the back of the book, there is a fold-out that creates a play scene, complete with cut-out figures of Maisy and Panda, and a cash register where they can purchase the groceries! It’s made of thick cardboard to withstand little hands.

This would be a great book to read with a young child, and get them to identify all the food items in the pictures. What a wonderful way to teach toddlers about different foods, and then play with the scene and cut-outs at the back!
Such a cute book! Continue reading →
