I would like to share a new children’s book with you called Superbaby is written by Stephanie Parsley Ledyard the (Author), Pictures by Lincoln Agnew. I received a copy of the book in exchange for this review. Inside the post are my affiliate links. If you click on the links and make a purchase I will make a small percentage off the items you purchase.
I had my copy of Superbaby sitting on my desk which I had planned on reading before work. Charlie came downstairs and saw the book sitting on my desk. Charlie and I began to talk Charlie picked up my copy of Superbaby.
Charlie said mom the baby on the look reminds me of Rosie the Riveter in her blue jean outfit with the polka dot bandana on her head. I agreed with Charlie. For anyone who knows me they know I love anything to do with Rosie the Riveter. What about you?
Charlie asked me why the baby in the book was referred to as Superbaby. I couldn’t answer Charlie’s question because I hadn’t had the opportunity to read the story yet. I went back to work on another project.
Charlie goes into the kitchen to make himself something to drink. Charlie finishes his drink he walks back into the living room. Charlie picks up my copy of Superbaby. I thought Charlie was going over to the couch to get his Dog Bear. Then they would be going back upstairs. I was wrong.
Charlie sat down on the couch and begin to look through Superbaby with Bear. Charlie says mom look here, Charlie begins to show me the pictures in the book. I stop what I’m doing to see what Charlie wants. I end up moving from my desk to sit on the couch.
Charlie and I end up reading Superbaby together. I wanted to let you we loved the story a lot. Charlie says Superbaby is written for younger children but even older children and adults will find parts of the story funny and they will like the illustrations.
Charlie thought Superbaby was funny when the baby turned out to be a girl but the story has became a teaching moment when I reminded Charlie girls can do anything guys can do. After reading Superbaby Charlie agreed with me.
Charlie thought the story was funny when Superbaby demolishes Bananas might be fun. I reminded Charlie it isn’t a good thing to waste food because people are going hungry all over the world. I reminded Charlie babies drop food and make messes because they have to be taught how to eat and stay clean.
Charlie said if this is how babies behave he’s glad he never had a younger sister or brother because older ones are bad enough. Charlie said if you want to see how a baby makes a lot of noise then you need to check out Superbaby as soon as possible but bring a clothespin for your noise because her behind stinks.
I hope you take the time to read Superbaby and check out all of her adventures and by the end of the book just like Superbaby you may need a nap or two Charlie said. Here is a fun fact about the Author she is from Dallas which is about 20 minutes from our home. Charlie and I might have run into her at a store and not even knew it. Also don’t forget to check out more of her books here.
About the book:
It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s Superbaby! A delightful read-aloud picture book about the adventures babies enjoy between naptimes.
Superbaby is UP! UP!
And awake . . .
With the help of some parental guidance, Superbaby performs feats that dazzle and amaze, zooming through the skies, building toy-block cities (and knocking them down), and leaping over “mountains”. When Superbaby is tired, she soars into her energy pod to rest up for another big day.
Superbaby shares the delightful story of a baby at play. Author Stephanie Parsley Ledyard’s encouraging, onomatopoetic text from the perspective of a loving parent is accompanied by buoyant Illustrations by Lincoln Agnew, making for a wonderful read aloud to be shared with exceptional babies everywhere.
About the author: Stephanie Parsley Ledyard
Stephanie Parsley Ledyard was born in the small Texas town of Archer City and grew up in nearby Wichita Falls, which at the time had no falls. (Now it does.) She became addicted to writing poetry in fourth grade, when she received what appeared to be (in her limited experience) a wild response to her original, somewhat-school-inappropriate poem, which she read aloud in Mrs. Dickerson’s language arts class at Crockett Elementary. That was a long time ago.
Now living in Dallas, Stephanie writes picture books, poetry, and middle grade fiction from her home, which she shares with her husband, Aaron, two funny daughters, the world’s largest lapdog, and two cats who defy labeling. She works in a school library and has an MFA in writing for children and young adults from Vermont College of Fine Arts.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
