It's As Fun and Refreshing As A Day at the Lake
1:00 AM
(Images courtesy of Scarletta Press)
Although I read a lot of picture books (thanks to my 4-year-old story lover), I don't review many of them. So, when the good folks over at Scarletta Press contacted me about taking a look at the titles they've recently published with their Kids imprint, I hesitated. Then, A Day at the Lake by Stephanie Wallingford and Dawn Rynders (with illustrations by Erica Pelton Villnave) caught my eye. The cover looked so inviting that I just couldn't resist taking the plunge (pun very much intended).
A perfect read with which to welcome the warm, summer weather (which we're already experiencing here in the Phoenix area), A Day at the Lake will charm water lovers of all ages.

(Readalikes: Reminded me a little of In the Small, Small Pond and In the Tall, Tall Grass by Denise Fleming)
Grade: B
If this were a movie, it would be rated: G
To the FTC, with love: I received a finished copy of A Day at the Lake from the generous folks at Scarletta Press. Thank you!
