0 Q is for Quiet Loud

Part of the A to Z blogging challenge. #atozchallenge
We are loving how the A to Z challenge is giving a chance to review some of our most-loved books and we also love how some of our books like these fit into these tougher letters like Q, Y etc! We have already done a Leslie Patricelli and one more coming up for Y!

The Book:
Quiet Loud is written, hand lettered and illustrated by Leslie Patricelli.

The Bubble:
The book features on each spread a thing that is Quiet and the one that is Loud. We love the way the quiet and loud things are paired on the pages of the book. Whispering with Screaming, Fishes with doggies, Thinking with singing, Slippers with Mommy's shoes, Sniffles with Sneezes, Turtles with Monkeys, Birds with Airplanes - The choices to explain the quiet and loud are impressive. 

Bubble Ink's verdict:
Like we said here, the books featuring the one-haired bald baby are perfect first books. The objects and situations illustrated are so easy to relate from a very young age.
We highly recommend these for your child's library. Choose the one that best suits your baby's likes. 
We give this one 3-bubbles.

Bubbling's verdict:
The bubbling loves Huggy Kissy the best from the author and she could relate the fishy on this book with the fishy from the Huggy Kissy book. Such is the impact , the illustrations have on a child. Leslie Particelli's were one of her first board books. This particular book , Quiet Loud, is a bubbling-tantalizing-three.

0 N is for No No, Yes Yes

Part of the A to Z blogging challenge. #atozchallenge

The Book:
No No , Yes Yes is written , illustrated and hand-lettered by Leslie Patricelli.

The Bubble:
The book , like all other Leslie's works features the one-haired bald baby. Each spread in this book shows the baby doing an action that is a No-No and then doing it in the yes-yes way. No is one of the early words said by a baby and this book can sure aid and enhance that. The pages show all sorts of activities that make up a toddler's day to day life. Harming a pet is a No-No and patting it to sleep is a Yes-Yes. Running on the road is a No-No, holding Papa's hand while on the road is a Yes-yes. 

Bubble Ink's verdict :
This book can be a successful first book in a child's library for many a reason. First, it is a board book which is sturdy for first timers. Second , it has got illustrations that are everyday things for babies to easily relate to. Third, it grows with your child , for the youngest baby, the colors and the illustrations appeal ; for the older toddler, it is an almost wordless book for them to picture read. 
So it is a baby-board book for babies from 3 months to 3 years. 
We give it 4 bubbles. 

Bubbling's verdict: 
We are Leslie Particelli fans. This is one of her first board books. She sure loves the one-haired baby from all of Leslie's works. It is a bubbling-tantalizing-three.

0 Little Learners - Slide and See - I feel happy

The Book:
Little Learners - Slide and See - I feel happy is a book with pull out tabs about emotions illustrated with the help of animals.

The Bubble:
What we love about the book is the way each emotion is illustrated with the help of animals and characters. The book is great for babies to just look at the beautiful illustration and for slightly older babies to pull out tabs. We love the way it introduces relationships among with emotions like hugging with parents, saying bye to grandparents, learning a skill from mommy, helping mommy and playing with friends. The illustrations used are mother-baby animals and characters and are lovely.

Bubble Ink's verdict:
This can very easily become your baby's first favourite picture book before she ventures into stories. It won't disappoint even as your baby gets older as it offers scope for enacting emotions, building vocabulary with the emotion words on older kids. The book that is sure to grow on your baby. You will not regret the lack of story in this one - the illustrations and the way it subtlety reminds you of some forgotten emotions make up for it.
We bought ours at the Crossword store.
We give it 3 bubbles out of 5.

The Bubbling's verdict:
The bubbling's favourite picture book was this one as a 1 year old. She loves the page "I feel happy when I am with my family" and still keeps bringing this one saying "I feel happy" and sings along - If you are happy and you know it .
She also loves the I feel bored page and the pull out tab on it which shows friends coming along to play. It is a Bubbling-Tantalizing-Three.
