MY (NOT-SO) PERFECT LIFE: A FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS JOURNAL by Karen Phillips and LITTLE BLUE TRUCK’S VALENTINE written by Alice Schertle and illustrated by Jill McElmurry

As Valentine’s Day approaches, I seek books that I know my grandchildren will love. My five-year-old granddaughter loves the journal she shares with her mommy and daddy, especially adoring being asked questions. Karen Phillips’ MY (NOT-SO) PERFECT LIFE: A FILL—IN-THE-BLANKS JOURNAL will be a gift for the whole family. It solves her parents’ wondering what questions to ask and is one of the least complicated journals for children that I’ve seen. This should allow all of them to happily examine the life they have together. And for my vehicle-loving grandson, LITTLE BLUE TRUCK’S VALENTINE, composed by the excellent team of writer Alice Schertle and illustrator Jill McElmurry. As with others in the series, there is an animal cast that performs as one would expect, there are the rhythms and rhymes that please, the cheer of Little Blue Truck, and a satisfying surprise ending You can find out more about this book in the purchase link below.
