Tap, Tap, Swish by Hayley Rose is a cute, children's book!

Positives:
1. That otter on the cover - OMG. So cute! I don't know why but that totally engaged me more than the title! Like... an otter starting a band?! It's goofy but it totally grabbed my attention.

2. I loved being in a band during my school years, so it's nice for me to see a book highlighting the fun of conducting and playing an instrument. The conversation starters parents can have with their children over this book is going to be FANTASTIC.

3. The assortment of animals was awesome. I'm glad there was a large assortment of both animals and instruments to be played. Although, I feel like tigers playing clarinets is living dangerously. Those reeds will not survive those teeth! And sloths with triangles?! They better have only one note to play or THAT is going to take forever. Poor conductor!

4. Fun animal facts at the end! I LIVE for fun facts! Annnnnd fun instrument facts! I'm sad my instruments, the flute and piccolo, were not included! But hey, we can't all have our way. Coolest fact? Clarinet = licorice stick.

5. And math at the end?! Geez Louise, Hayley wants us learning!

Negatives:
1. Pianos don't sound like plink plink plink. Even I know that... That lemur must be smashing his hands on the keys pretty hard!

2. I dislike rhyming schemes that don't flow well. This rhyming scheme didn't do it for me, but remember I'm an adult and not the key demographic for this book. Kids will absolutely love it and sing along to this book.

3. Can we get this otter a vest or something? He looked so good in his little suit!

*In all honesty, #1 & #3 is my comedic sense of humour shining through in word format. Don't take that as a negative towards the book. I'm trying to be funny. If I don't post this asterisk someone is going to have a cow that I found that as a negative.

Four out of five stars.

I found this book for free via Bookbub.

I received a complimentary copy from pumpupyourbook.com in exchange for a review.

The Thankful Unicorn has 30+ pages for you to dream, be thankful and love yourself. One thing I am grateful for is the opportunity to receive this book because it’s very therapeutic to live in positivity and this journal Can help do that. The cover is playful and whimsical with a beautiful unicorn embracing the magic around her ,you can’t help but want to be joyful too. Inside there are cute pictures to enjoy getting creative with or to just doodle on them and relax. This book is best recommended for monthly use , you will have to purchase several copies to get through the year but it is well worth the happiness it brings. Also a great gift idea for anyone you think would enjoy showing gratitude.… (lisätietoja)

Fifo is a bear who loves to explore! He is going to travel to each of the 50 states and help you learn a little bit about each one.

Fifo Fifty States is a book of poems that goes alphabetically through the states. Each poem tells you about the states capital and official flower, tree and bird. The pictures and fun and vibrant and filled with everything the poem talked about as well as some additional landmarks and customs for each state. The illustrations also have a small map pointing out the location of the state capital.

This is not a book to try to read all at once since the poems are fairly repetitive, but rather to take state by state as you explore. This is a great learning tool for 6-10 year olds as they begin to learn about the United States. I would read one or two poems at a time as a jumping point to begin discovering what each state has to offer.

My one complaint was in the illustration for my home state, New York. In the poem, the state capitol is correctly named as Albany; however, on the map it shows that the capital is in New York City. Albany is nowhere near New York City, and it is always a misconception that New York's capital is New York City, this illustration does not help. Anyway, I browsed the rest of the capital pictures and they seemed correct.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review.

Review can also be found in https://chillandreadblog.wordpress.com/2017/06/29/fifo-50-states-by-hayley-rose-...

Fifo is a brown bear who dreams about visiting all 50 states and learn all he can about them!

Our friend. Fifo, is travelling all around the country, from one state to the other in alphabetical order. Every page is about a state and there is a really nice picture too!

Through this lovely journey, children get to learn a few things about each state in a rhythm! There is the state name and the capital and its numbering too! There is also the state flower, tree and bird in that little poem! In the bottom of the page, our little friends can read the state’s motto!!!

On the other page, that hosts a picture about the state, there is always Fifo, doing what somebody would do in that state, like surfing in Hawaii or canoeing in Idaho! All the nice things that are part of the poem are visible in the picture too! As well as the state map is drawn somewhere highlighted with the state initials! There is also a bit of the state’s history hidden in there along with any kind of activities or festivities that make the state known! One can also see the crops, orchards or animals to be found in the state, which is very nice for the children to see!

The illustration is done by Jesse B. Orlet and is really enjoyable! The lovely bear, the beautiful state scenes, the animals, birds and nature represent each state quite lovely!
