Where's Wilson?: Children's Book Review
**I received a copy of this book to preview as a gift. After reading and enjoying, I agreed to write a review. The opinions expressed in this post are my own. I was not compensated financially in any way..**
Last year, I reviewed the lovely children's book "Man In The Moon" by author Kelly Young-Silverman, with beautiful watercolor illustrations by erin the great. I am honored to share with you their latest collaboration, "Where's Wilson?".
"Where's Wilson?" is a beautiful bedtime story about the search for one of the counting sheep that goes missing right before bedtime. All the animals on the farm search for Wilson, the fourth counting sheep. How will the children get to sleep if they don't have all the sheep to count? My Pre-K class loved the rhyming text and stunning illustrations!
"Where's Wilson?" has a special little surprise: a hidden frog on each page, just as "Man In The Moon" had a hidden ladybug. And, like "Man In The Moon", a portion of the proceeds from the book is donated to St. Jude's Children's Hospital.
You can purchase a copy of "Where's Wilson?" (and "Man in the Moon") on the author's website: Evie and Knox Stories. You will also find some printables and coloring pages on the Evie and Knox site!
Happy Reading!
