JER: “TOP 5 - 2022 BOOKS” JER's TOP 5 - 2020 BOOKS 1. “ Seahorses Are Sold Out ” by author Constanze Spengler & Illustrator Katja Gehrmann (05MAR22) 2. “ The Whisper ” by Pamela Zagarenski (16DEC22) 3. “ Maybe . . . ” by Chris Haughton (30APR22) 4. “ Fred Gets Dressed ” by Peter Brown (14MAY22) 5. “ Take a Breath ” by Sujean Rim (09SEPT22) Honorable Mention: “Mole in a Black & White Hole” by Tereza Sediva (14SEPT22) •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Just in time for a last minute Christmas Gift: “Seahorses Are Sold Out” is my favorite book I reviewed in 2022. It’s silly, fun, and unexpected. I also love how it models positive parenting. Sometimes you need to get work done, sometimes you need kids to entertain themselves, and it is best to accept and roll with the madness that might result from instructions like: “buy whatever you need, just let me work” . . . even if it means buying a little penguin to teach your mouse to swim.
