This is a comforting picture book, which delves into the wonder surrounding the changing perception of how fast or slow time passes.

Written in beautiful, flowing prose, this book journeys through different experiences, all of which readers can identify with and find familiar in their own lives. From the boredom of seemingly never-ending car rides to fun moments, while playing with friends, or even to the worries of anticipation, various situations demonstrate how the perception of time changes. Sometimes it's fast. Sometimes it's slow. It draws readers/listeners into thought and helps them recognize this in their own lives.

The illustrations carry careful details and make every scene vibrant in its own way. It's enjoyable to simply flip through the pages and let each moment settle in. There are situations readers can recognize from their own lives (or similar situations) and will be able to connect with the experience of passing time without too much trouble. The text flows extremely well with only a bit on each page, making this a great read aloud for even impatient audiences. It's warming, comforting, and enjoyable for both the listener and older/adult readers as well.
I received a DRC and really enjoyed the illustrations.

Learn how a movement builds from one person to a billion in this A to Z environmental activism book. Readers count from 1 to 10 - and then in larger increments to a billion - as they learn new terms from "conservation" to "activism." Inset boxes provide easy-to-understand definitions of additional new vocabulary words.

First sentence: One dog stands alone. Two dogs on a trike. Three dogs on a scooter. Four dogs on a bike. Five dogs on a trolley. Six dogs on a train.

Premise/plot: Two dogs on a Trike is a concept board book. It is a counting book. Little ones count to ten and back in this humorous story starring dogs...

My thoughts: In all honesty, I'm not always the most observant reader. Sometimes I rush through a story and really only pay attention to the text. So this board book through a little twist in for this slightly-lazy reader. The illustrations are definitely communicating a fuller story. Without "reading" the illustrations plus the text, you might miss out on the humor in this one. You might assume [incorrectly] that it's just your ordinary, slightly dull counting book....albeit one who stars dogs.

So my advice, pay attention to who is watching the dogs...
