No shade I promise 👀 but I saw a post in a Facebook group about a kid who loves Dog Man, but his family were hoping he’d move on to “something else” because it’s “cartoon style.”

As mentioned... I’ve been a bit quiet lately.

A little piece on the importance of reading factual books together. We often think of fiction when it comes to storytime but nonfiction can be an amazing thing to share and explore together!
