I actually have 8 reviews to catch up on!
I read these and reviewed them on Goodreads and NetGalley but did not put a 'read' date so they would not count towards my Goodreads Challenge or any other challenges. I felt silly counting them towards anything. BUT I did think they were really cute and worth buying for babies up to preschool/kindergarten. Bilingual babies!!Feelings
