You are looking to introduce your child or children to your hometown heroes in your neighborhood. Well, “Hello! Hometown Heroes” helps to introduce these heroes that could be into your community. These heroes are just ordinary people.

This book is inclusive and represents any child or children; It could be anyone’s neighborhood. The book is a gentle rhyming book. It is suitable for young readers to enjoy and learn to read. The books are ideal for toddlers to hold as the book thickness stands made of a strong board book.

I enjoyed the pictures as they are colorful and enjoyable to look at. This book takes you on a tour of the neighborhood. Meet different heroes throughout the book. You can be heroes to be kind and friendly to your neighbors and say hello. Can your child or children tell you who are heroes in your hometown? Who do you think is a hometown hero in your neighborhood? I believe there are many. Some mentioned in this book are firefighters, teachers, and construction workers. Maybe a librarian is a hometown hero for you or your child. Toddlers can hold and look at this book as well. It is a sturdy book for all children, from toddlers to young readers.

Discliamer: I received a free copy of this book though the author for an honest review. My thoughts and opinions are my own.
Want To Buy: Amazon
Add To: Goodreads

A Celebration of Winter is a book about Winter and its fun activities and holidays we celebrate during the season. This book goes along with the others in the series. Children will learn all about the Winter and learn to rhyme. They can learn to read with this book as well. It is pretty easy to read and enjoyable.

What fun activities can your child or children do during the Winter? What can they do for fun in the cold or snow? You will enjoy the family get-together. Children can enjoy decorating for a unique visitor during this holiday season. They will also probably enjoy getting the house decorated for Christmas.

This book also talks about Winter. The way it is the last season of the holiday before it starts all over again. Children will learn that each season is three months long. December starts the winter season and ends in February. Children will discover that there are four seasons in a year. The images created did well.

They capture the season and the meaning of this book. What are some of your child or children's favorite winter activities or traditions during the winter months? What things will you and your child or children do during the winter season?

Add To: Goodreads

Are you looking for an adorable book to read to your toddler or child? Well, If Puppies Had Pockets is a good one to get. It is cute. It shows your child or children about some teachable moments like sharing. It can show who a puppy or dog would be willing to share and show its love to you or your children.

This book has some rhyming. What would you do if puppies had pockets? What would they have in their pockets? You could ask your child or children what they think their puppy or puppies would have in their pockets if they had them. It seems to me to be set on imagination and sharing and talking about love.

The book stood created to be held by toddlers and children. It is thick enough for them to turn the pages. It is a short and easy read; Your child can learn to read with this. The pictures are cute; I love the images in this book. Children and adults will enjoy this book. If you are a dog or animal person, this book is for you and your family. Parents should put it on their child's bookshelves, or their grandparents could get it for their grandchildren.

The Shortest book of the year is "Great and Small Easter (A Flap Book)" by BH Kids. My Longest book of the year is "When Twilight Breaks" by Sarah Sundin. My average book length by Goodreads is 54.

This year Popular and least popular are some what strange by goodreads. My Most popular book is "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein which is a Children book or Classic book depending on on how you categories your books genres. My Least Popular book was "Magic Magnifying Glass: Lost Locket" by Wendy Ann Mattox. It a children book.

I have read a total of 79 books and some are to the same authors. Looks to be about 48 authors give or take for all 79 books. Here are some charts to show you how many for each author the total for each one.

There are some of the top authors I read this month by number of books read.

My Top 3 Books read by author.

Roger Carlson - 6 Books
Mike Berenstain - 5 Books
Reena Kode Pagnoni and Wendy Ann Mattox - 3 Books

For my Genre of book i enjoyed this year seem to be "Literary Fiction" 53 books (48.1%). The next one is "NonFiction" (19.5%), and then "Classic" with 2 (7.8%) and "Historical Fiction" with 6 (7.8%).

My genres as I categories them are listed below. This is across all of my books read this year. Children is my top genre with a total of 53 books read. If you look above chart that would be be Literary Fiction. The next one is Historical (Historical Fiction) with 6 books read. Mystery is next with 4 books read this year. Fantasy was read with 3 books this year. You can see where the numbers are 2 book are lower.

Those are my favorite to read by the way of fiction. Not in that order per say. I enjoy Children which falls in the Literary Fiction section in the above chart. Historical is the next best for me. Nonfiction 20 Books (30%) to 46 Books (70%).

The authors gender for me this year was clear. I read more female authors then male. Female authors read this year is a total of 53 (67.9%), Male authors read this year was 20 (25.6%), Both came to 4 books (5.1%) and NA came in at 1 books (1.3%). I did do this year though a pie chart to see what my percentage is more Female or Male? My key to this is using Female (F), Male (M), Combined (Both), I did not know (NA).

Almost but not quite there is my Series vs Standalone? How many books do you think you can read 32 Books in series and 47 Books that are considered Standalone. Standalone out wins Series this year. Those this year it seem almost even. How I did that is beyond me.
But how many of each for this year? I have not clue. How many did i start and not finish or got a book that put me to starting a new series. Well lets find out, By looking at the pie chart. Well it looks like I have

I wondered how many of my books came in what format? Were they E-books or Paperback or audio-book or another format. Well thanks me keeping track and Google Sheets for helping figure out the numbers to correct my spreadsheet for making the right format for each of my books for this year in 2021.

My preferred format I seem to be print books compared to digital in 2021. Though I did do a bit of each every year. This year it just something new that I can tack and see the graph for it. The other chart that new this is my pace in reading. You will be able to see both. My pace seems to be medium this year in 2021.

For This year of 2021, I have seem to have read more Paperbacks. I had a total of 5 different formats this year. E-Book, Paperback, Hardcover, Audio-Book and Board Book. My hardcover came next after Paperback. Which you can tell by the pie chart.

Do you want to see what my Age Range was this year. Well I finally was able to get that tracked and this year I was able to get graph for my Age range.

Looks like my Top age range for 2021 is Children with 64 Books with Adult coming next with maybe 10 books total. Though the number could be different as this chart is by category of audience.

Tell me how do you track age range?

Here is my favorite books for this year. Here a list of all 12 of them. I have will show you off my top list by showing you that. Some are new releases this year and some were new authors to me this year. I want to thank all the authors and publisher for these lovely top 12 Book that were my favorite for this year.

Now for my reviews for this year. I have read 79 books. Most of the reviews are up for this year. I will show you my first review for 2021 that got posted on Goodreads. That is "Mia and Nattie: One Great Team!" by Marlene M. Bell. I got this book as an hardcover and being on the book Tour. I enjoyed it.
