These books are sooo beautiful 😍 art from kids books should have it's own museum ☺️

Hi Shelly, thanks for all of your great picture book videos! I am also an avid enjoyer of children's picture book art and it's been so fun for me to watch your videos and feel like there's someone else in the world that loves picture books and picture book art as much as I do!

What a treasure trove of Children’s books! Thanks. I only recently discovered book tube. I’ve made a cup of tea and I’m going to settle in to catch up on your previous yearly videos of best children’s picture books. Cozy fun!

I already had Little Shrew on my radar but didn’t know that Kyo Maclear has a new picture book. (Yay!) And you totally sold me on Animal Albums. Thanks for this video!
