Always remember the good times.
It's a really good depiction of what it's like to lose someone. There's nothing religious to it, nothing existential, just a very relatable depiction of the pain you feel when someone dies.

Watching the text play across the page.
There's not a lot to it, but it doesn't seem like it's trying to be more than it is. It kind of has a dreamlike quality to it, as the words swirl around the pages, and the images are almost like sketches rather than full-on realism.
Will the real fishing buddy please stand up?
It's just about a girl spending time with her granddad. It's kind of cool how it's a girl going fishing, where stereotypically it would be a boy.
Short but sweet.
It's kind of unusual, with pages that fold out in different directions. The artwork is very charming. There's not a lot to it, but it's the kind of repetitive that is endearing rather than mind-numbing.
Cute story from toddler's perspective.
It's just fun. There's nothing really to it, and no real point. But it captures the feel, at least as far as an outsider can, of the mind of a young child who is walking but not yet speaking in complete sentences.
Not a bad story to fall asleep to.
The kid being obsessed with something like that is very realistic, especially nighttime rituals, but the girl is demanding something that doesn't exist.
Even the king makes mistakes.
It really supports the idea of swallowing your pride and apologizing, accepting the blame for something. I really like that message.
Mom and Dad get a human baby.
It's a recognition of the important role that pets play in people's lives, understanding that just as it's difficult for children to accept new siblings, it's also difficult for the pets to accept it.
Just a dog and her ball.
It's a sweet, wordless book. The illustrations are incredibly good at getting across the emotions of the dog.
Learn about puppets and parades.
The illustrations are cute. It's just a fun story, with all successes and no failures, which is kind of nice.
