27. Board book: Just Because. Mac Barnett. Illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault. 2026. 32 pages. [Source: Library] [5 stars, bedtime book, board book, imagination, creativity, curiosity]
First sentence: Why is the ocean blue? Every night when you go to sleep, the fish take out guitars. They sing sad songs and cry blue tears.
Premise/plot: A father answers his child's questions. These curious questions come right before bedtime! Though I have a strong feeling that his child is FULL of questions morning, noon, and night! The questions may feel familiar, but, the answers are super creative.
My thoughts: I loved, loved, loved this one!!!! There are SO many great questions and answers. My favorite:
What happened to the dinosaurs? Millions of years ago, thousands of asteroids fell on the earth. But the dinosaurs had planned for this. They fastened themselves to big balloons, floated up to space, and stayed there.
What are black holes? The mouths of dinosaurs.
I highly recommend this one!
28. Board book: Fix This Book! A Dinosaur Broke It! Silver Dolphins Books. 2026. 10 pages. [Source: Library] [5 stars, board book, interactive]
First sentence: There once was a curious little dinosaur...Wait a minute! Where is he? He stomped right through the page! It's OK, we can fix it!
Premise/plot: A baby dinosaur IS eating the book you're reading! Can the book be fixed?!?!
My thoughts: This one is SO fun and whimsical. I think my favorite spread is the shredded page.
I definitely enjoyed this playful interactive board book. It's just right for little dinosaur lovers!
