A lovely review of ‘The Yummiest Booger in the World’ 😄 . Repost @our.bookish.days ・・・ The Yummiest Booger in the World by Valeria Kiselova and Mamén Marcén 🪰🐉🧙 A cast of monsters and mythical creatures come from far and wide to offer up what they hope, are the tastiest boogers in the world to Little Orge for his birthday. Could it be dragon boogers, or witch boogers? Or maybe even mermaid boogers? It’s a fierce competition but there can only be one winner. There were lots of grossed out and gleeful “eeeews” as we read on to find out who had the tastiest boogers in this new picture book from @fivemilebooks who we thank for our copy. 🦠 . . . #theyummiestboogerintheworld #dragon #witches #mermaids #childrensbooks #kidsbooks #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #kidsbookstagrammer #readers #raisingreaders #coldseason #newbooks #fivemilebooks #teamfivemile #fivemilerep #bookshelf #bookshare @valeria_kiselova_ @chicaconflequillo

Zeke & Abby’s Picture Book Reviews! (AD/GIFTED) 🌟 Happy Thursday, Bookstaland! Today, Mummy is going to physio while Por Por is coming over to look after Abby and I (Zeke)! (Plus, we are going to focus on trying to try and stay cool in today’s scorcher! ☀️🫧) 🌟 Book Details: * Title: Fur * Author & Illustrator: Pete Cromer (@petecromer ) * ISBN: 9781922943941 * Publisher: Five Mile Books * Pub Date: 01/01/2024 * Ages: 0+ 🌟 What we liked: * The different animals! * The bright colours! * The fascinating information! Mummy’s commentary: I think at this point in time, we are just a Pete Cromer stan account! 🤣 These board books are wonderfully robust - and yes, they have been Abby tested. Teeth marks, yes, but no bits missing. The info alongside the different animals is the perfect amount of text for Zeke to digest before losing interest. 🌟 Thank you @fivemilebooks for gifting us a copy in exchange for an honest review! 🌟 🏷 TAGS 🏷 #PeteCromerFur #FiveMileBooks #BrandAmbassador #AussieKidsBookstagrammer #AustralianArtists #BoardBooksForKids #OzKidLit #PictureBooksAboutAnimals

Zeke & Abby’s Picture Book Reviews! (AD/GIFTED) 🌟 Happy Wednesday, Bookstagram! Today, Mummy and I (Zeke) are going to start researching some basic kid friendly recipes for us to try and cook/bake. We love looking at the pictures and knowing that our version will never look like that! 🤣 🌟 Book Details: * Title: The World of Pete Cromer * Author & Illustrator: Pete Cromer (@petecromer ) * ISBN: 9781922943354 * Publisher: Five Mile Books * Pub Date: 15/11/2023 * Ages: 3+ 🌟 What we liked: * The information provided in each animals profile. * The colour blocking! 🌈 * Seeing all of the animals on Por Por’s mugs in a book! (She has mugs and tea towels with all these animals on them!) Mummy’s commentary: Seeing all the paper-cutting prints in one place is so special. The designs are eye-catching and the information provided makes for an interesting and informative read. 🌟 Thank you @fivemilebooks for gifting us a copy in exchange for an honest review! 🌟 🏷 TAGS 🏷 #TheWorldOfPeteCromer #FiveMileBooks #BrandAmbassador #AussieKidsBookstagrammer #AustralianArtists #OzKidLit #PictureBooksAboutAnimals

🌟RELEASE DAY🌟 . This little guy really has been a long time in the making… almost 2.5 years in fact! But, we’ll leave that story for another time. . Today we celebrate the release of Julius Squeezer! . As authors, I know we’re not meant to pick favourites, but I have to say - this one is special. Not just because I feel like it’s my best work so far, but because of the journey it’s taken to get here. . Julius is a squeezy-loving python who doesn’t really understand that squeezing may not be the best way to say hello. . But, with the help of his jungle friends (and a special pink lady), Julius discovers that squeezing is a natural part of who he is. All he needs is some gentle training. . Beautifully illustrated by the ever clever @marina.verola Julius Squeezer is now available through leading bookstores, online retailers and Booktopia. . See my stories for a direct link to buy. . Julius Squeezer ✍️ @maryanastasiou_author 🎨 @marina.verola 📚 @fivemilebooks . Book launch coming soon! . . . . . #python #pythonlovers #reptiles #reptileloversofinstagram #snakebooks #snakestories #picturebooks #kidsbooks #booksforkids #kidsbookrecommendations #booklovers #bookworms #childrensbooks #newrelease #newreleasebooks #storytime #readtome #kidlit #childrensliterature #author #authorlife #publishing #childrenspublishing

When Abby wakes up, we (Abby and I) will be heading straight outside to play bubbles with Adama! (He loves to chase them!) 🌟 Book Details: * Title: Feathers * Author & Illustrator: Pete Cromer (@petecromer ) * ISBN: 9781922943934 * Publisher: Five Mile Books * Pub Date: 01/01/2024 * Ages: 0+ 🌟 What we liked: * All the different birds! * The Rainbow Lorikeet is our fave! 🌈 * The little factoids for each bird. Mummy’s commentary: The paper-cut artworks are absolutely gorgeous! And Abby loves flicking through this one and gazing at the vibrant colours. Zeke is a huge fan of birds, so this is right up his alley! 🌟 Thank you @fivemilebooks for gifting us a copy in exchange for an honest review! 🌟 🏷 TAGS 🏷 #PeteCromerFeathers #FiveMileBooks #BrandAmbassador #AussieKidsBookstagrammer #AustralianArtists #BoardBooksForKids #OzKidLit #PictureBooksAboutBirds
