School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 PreS-Gr 1—A series of vignettes of animals reading together features bats reading upside down, a pile of puppies at story time, and kittens licking pages (better not be a library book!) The animals are very cute, with bulbous heads and teensy black dots for eyes. The bats are so adorably fat, readers will want to poke them. Key phrases are emphasized with bright colors and arranged so the font dances off the page. For instance, the word "hanging" dangles down from the roof of the bats' cave, and the kitten's purr undulates across the page as if it's vibrating. A charming story time—or anytime—book. VERDICT Cuteness overload plus enjoyable text equals a must-purchase picture book. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
