I would like to introduce you to a new children’s book Superbaby by Stephanie Ledyard (Author), Lincoln Agnew (Illustrator) which we received a copy of in exchange for this review. Inside the post are my affiliate links which if you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.
I had the book sitting on my desk this morning to read when Charlie walked up. As we were talking Charlie picked the book and said mom look she reminds me of Rosie the Riveter which I agreed with. Charlie ask me why is he a Superbaby which I couldn’t answer because I hadn’t had the opportunity to read the story yet.
Charlie goes off into the kitchen to make himself something to drink. Then he walks back into the living room and picks the book up and goes over to the couch to get his Dog to go upstairs but I was wrong. Charlie sat down on the couch and begin to look through the book with Bear. Charlie says mom look here.
Again I stop what I’m doing to see what Charlie wants. I end up moving from my desk to sit on the couch with Charlie and we end up reading Superbaby together and let me tell you we loved the story a lot. Charlie says this book is written for younger children but even older children and adults will find parts of the story funny and they will like the illustations.
Charlie thought it was funny that a superbaby could be a girl but I just reminded Charlie girls can do anything guys can do and after reading the story Charlie agreed with me. Charlie thought it was funny that she demolishes Bananas but I reminded Charlie it isn’t a good thing to waste food because people are going hungry all over the world but babies do drop food and make messes we just have to teach them not to.
Charlie said if this is how babies behave he is so glad he never had a younger sister or brother because older ones are bad enough. Charlie said if you want to see how a baby makes a lot of noise then you need to check out this book as soon as possible but bring a clothespin for your noise because her behind stinks.
I hope you take the time to read Superbaby and check out all of her adventures and by the end of the book just like Superbaby you may need a nap or two Charlie said. Here is a fun fact about the Author she is from Dallas which is about 20 minutes from our home and Charlie and I might have run into her at a store and not even knew it. Don’t forget to check out more of her books here.
About the book:
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superbaby! A delightful read-aloud picture book about the adventures babies enjoy between naptimes.
Superbaby is UP! UP!
And awake . . .
With the help of some parental guidance, Superbaby performs feats that dazzle and amaze, zooming through the skies, building toy-block cities (and knocking them down), and leaping over “mountains”. When Superbaby is tired, she soars into her energy pod to rest up for another big day.
Superbaby shares the delightful story of a baby at play. Author Stephanie Parsley Ledyard’s encouraging, onomatopoetic text from the perspective of a loving parent is accompanied by buoyant Illustrations by Lincoln Agnew, making for a wonderful read aloud to be shared with exceptional babies everywhere.
About the author: Stephanie Parsley Ledyard
Stephanie Parsley Ledyard was born in the small Texas town of Archer City and grew up in nearby Wichita Falls, which at the time had no falls. (Now it does.) She became addicted to writing poetry in fourth grade, when she received what appeared to be (in her limited experience) a wild response to her original, somewhat-school-inappropriate poem, which she read aloud in Mrs. Dickerson’s language arts class at Crockett Elementary. That was a long time ago.
Now living in Dallas, Stephanie writes picture books, poetry, and middle grade fiction from her home, which she shares with her husband, Aaron, two funny daughters, the world’s largest lapdog, and two cats who defy labeling. She works in a school library and has an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
