I received a digital copy of this audiobook from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
In my house we are big fans of Emily Calandrellis Netflix series - Emily’s Wonderlab so this was a no brainer request for me. As a boy mom I feel it is important to instill in my boys a level of respect for girls, women and all people that they will never question who’s more capable based on something as arbitrary as gender, even when a person is dealing with some of the more unique features of being female (for those that are not aware the show is a childrens science education show hosted by Emily while very pregnant and wearing hot pink overalls - like a boss).
This is the kind of book I would want to read to my kids, I would want them to know these things but I would get too choked up to actually read it so I’m very glad there’s an audiobook read along version. Since having kids I’ve never yet made it through a reading of love you forever. Though I know from following Emily on social media that it took her a couple tries to make it through as well. The sound effects are a great addition to bring notice to the actions on the page. The rhyming was solid and even when some words are too big for kiddos to grasp yet reading rhyming books to children nurtures basic language skills and builds a report with books that encourages life long reading and learning. This is a book that will grow with children through the years nuanced to reveal new insights as they grow and change.
5/5 Great book.
