In November, we would like to showcase some great Lion and Tiger books. Augustus and his smile by Catherine Rayner is the first one! A truly magnificent book!
Already an older book but an absolute favorite in this month's list, while the other books are also really terrific. It is all positivity this month, with extra books because of the upcoming holidays and we're only handing out stars in triplicate!
The story in this stunningly beautiful picture book is simple but so sweet, you immediately have sympathy for Augustus. We all hope he will find his smile soon. But not too fast, because the illustrations are beautiful and we can't get enough of them.
When the book is finished, we usually read it again right away. It will not be gathering dust here, because the mini-monsters often choose it. Usually we all dance along with Augustus at the end of the book, because he makes our faces smile too!
3 twinkling stars for Augustus and his SMILE, from our little listeners and the readers!
