Sweetest Christmas story. So well written and illustrated beautiful. Love the coloring book, stickers and ornaments..

I know the author personally. I bought two for my grandchildren who love it. Well done Katherine!🥰🥰

A lovely Christmas story to share with my great-nephew! The illustrations are wonderful!

We gave Peek a Boo Missy Moo to my two year old niece and because she was already familiar with Missy Moo from the first book, which she loved, she was really excited, when she opened the gift. After squealing with delight, she said “Read It” to her mom, whose lap she was sitting on and proceeded to enjoy the peek a boo book. It was a big hit!

Good story and a well made book that my granddaughters will enjoy for a long time!

The Picky Princess and the Dragon by Ritu Kumar is such a delightful read! Princess Diya is clever, picky, and full of personality, and my kids loved watching her clever plan unfold when the sweet-toothed dragon raids the castle.

Kelsey Marshalsey’s illustrations are bright, magical, and full of humor, perfectly capturing the fun and chaos of this adventurous feast. The story gently encourages children to try new foods while keeping them giggling and engaged from start to finish. A perfect tale for imaginative kids who love princesses, dragons, and a little bit of mischief! 🐉👑🥕✨

A Hilarious and Heartwarming Canadian Holiday Adventure!
Santa Canuck by Katharine Sowden is pure festive fun! My kids loved following Santa as he delivers holiday cheer across Canada—not in a sleigh, but in his bright red pickup, eh? The rhyming text is playful and keeps little ones giggling, while Kelsey Marshalsey’s illustrations are colourful, charming, and full of Canadian spirit.

From cookie-baking polar bears to Bruce the goose leading the magical moose team, every page is packed with whimsy, laughter, and holiday magic. Perfect for children ages 3–7, this delightful story is sure to become a favorite family Christmas tradition. 🎄🦫🦌🍁✨

The Adventures of Jade and Wolf: The Jungle Safari by Adriana Zappacosta is such a delightful story! Jade and her best friend, Wolf the cockapoo, turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary jungle safari, sparking imagination and creativity on every page.

Kelsey Marshalsey’s illustrations are vibrant and full of charm, perfectly capturing the fun and friendship between Jade and Wolf. This heartwarming tale is ideal for young explorers ages 3–6, and it’s a story that children will want to read again and again. A perfect mix of adventure, imagination, and the joy of friendship! 🐾🌴✨

This is such a wonderful Board Book. The illustrations are beautiful and so colourful - your little one will love the rhyming story and pictures! Kelsey is such a talent and it is amazing to see her writing and illustrating her own book! Keep up the great work!

This gift set is absolutely beautiful and wonderful! Such an amazing gift idea for anyone who enjoys Christmas. Santa Canuck is a creative and fun take on Santa Claus with a Canadian twist. The story is just lovely and the illustrations are magical!
I would highly recommend this book and gift set for anyone looking to create some holiday magic!

Peek-a-Boo Missy Moo by Kelsey Marshalsey is an absolute joy! My son is obsessed with this book—he loves opening all the flaps to find Missy Moo hiding on every page. The rhythmic, rhyming text makes reading aloud so fun, and the sturdy flaps are perfect for little hands to explore again and again.

This interactive board book is ideal for curious toddlers and preschoolers, encouraging play, engagement, and imagination. Whether at playtime or bedtime, Peek-a-Boo Missy Moo is a cheerful, interactive story that has quickly become a favourite in our home! 🐮💛📖

Love this book very much. The illustrations are adorable, the story is really sweet and the book is printed very well. My little one loves it!

I loved this book! It is perfect for a class room, doctor’s office and especially a child’s home.

The book is about kindness even when it’s hard. I don’t want to say more but it is well written, well illustrated and I thought it was wonderful!

This is a great book for the beloved picky eater in your life.

My 9 year old daughter read this on her own and really liked it. She said she liked when the dragon tried the food finally and enjoyed it.

The visuals were beautiful and everything I desire in a children’s book! Very colorful and full of details.

It is a bit word heavy, so parents be prepared for that (or it is great for 8/9+ year olds— I think my 7 year old son would potentially tire)

It’s a cute read and I love that there’s practical application, a search and find, and discussion prompts at the end! Would definitely recommend

Thanks to Rebecca du Preez, Kelsey Marshalsey, and Brown Paper Fox publishers for the opportunity to read this advanced review copy.

Actual rating 4.5 stars rounded up to 5

Rebecca du Preez's The Lost Sock is a delightful journey of imagination centered on a mundane but often frustrating occurrence: the loss of one sock from a pair that has gone into the laundry, especially in the dryer! I'm sure that thousands of children and their parents have wondered and scratched their heads about just what happens to that lost sock - where does it go?

Du Preez allows children (and the adults in their lives who will no doubt share in thw reading of this picture book) to contemplate and imagine the myriad possibilities of that sock's journey in a way that can then prompt those young readers to come up with their own alternatives. The inclusion of far away places also allows the young readers to learn about other cultures and countries, fostering the mirror/window aspect of reading that is so important for children.

The text works wonderfully with Kelsey Marshalsey's whimsical illustrations that will inspire readers to learn about art and try their hand at making art as well.

Du Preez uses some rhyming in the story, but it doesn't sound forced or sing-songy, but, in reading it aloud, I did find a few of the phrases a bit awkwardly constructed, which ultimately interrupts the flow of the story (hence the .5 star deduction). I do believe, however, that this picture book will be a hit for the intended readers and inspire some great imaginative flights of fancy for both the children and their parents!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
