Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood: Tiger Family Trip by Becky Friedman

4 stars A nice story that covers a lot of issues that children face when going on roadtrips (having to go potty, getting irritated with siblings). Very relatable. The illustrations were nice.

Disney Princess: A Cake to Bake by Apple Jordan

2 stars This book was a bit of a letdown. I was excited by the idea of a book with multiple princesses in it. But the book is very random because of this and kind of boring. Instead of incorporating all of the princesses into one story, this book describes the princesses essentially doing the…
