MY BOOK REVIEW:

This book, "The Adventures of Penny and Yaya: Lost and Found," is a fun, exciting, easy to follow, children's read.
This book follows Yaya in her pursuit of tracking down a beloved toy, her stuff elephant, Fern. Young readers and families will be able to easy relate to this narrative and are sure to find adventure as they help search for Fern.
This book is easy to follow along as young readers join Yaya searching her home and asking her family members for help to locate the missing elephant.
This book is full of bright, colorful illustrations that are sure to keep young readers fully engaged.
This book is ideal for bedtime story time and as a learning to read to book. At the end of the book is a short questionnaire of five questions related to the story. Some of these questions include: "What is the name of Yaya's stuff elephant?" and "How many places did Yaya look for Fern?" These questions are a great way to test young readers about what they just read or was read aloud to them. Young readers should be able to recall the answers, but the story is short enough that it can be quickly reread to identify the answers.
This book is a super quick read at 22 eBook pages cover-to-cover and filled with 8 pages of text and 8 pages of illustrations.
This book is appropriately “G” rated as there is no swearing, no gory violence, no adult situations, and no sexual content.
I also want to point out the inclusive and diversity elements this book includes as it features a multiracial family. Multiracial families are often unrepresented, so this book is refreshing to support them, especially as there are over seven million families in the United States that identify as mixed-race (AAMFT, https://www.aamft.org/AAMFT/Consumer_Updates/Multiracial_Families.aspx).
This book is Book One of The Adventures of Penny and Yaya Book Series and what seems to be a promising new book series coming soon.
All in all, I really enjoyed reading this book and would absolutely recommend it!! I think all young readers and their families will like this book too!! So, add it to your TBR List and get to reading - you won't be disappointed!!
