5 stars for I Am Simply Me and I Love Pie by @ShaniTNight #kidlit #childrensbooks #picturebooks



Title: I Am Simply Me and I Love Pie (Shani and Friends Book 2)

Author: Shani T Night

Genre: Children’s Fiction, Children’s Picture Books


Book Blurb:


Shani and Friends is a series full of adventures with friends at school and home. Shani is six years old and she's just discovered her love of pie after her mother decided not to make cookies or cake.


My Review:


Shani’s mom makes some delicious treats and Shani gobbles up the cake and cookies. One day, Shani’s mom makes pie. Pie? What about cookies? Shani has never tried pie and she doesn’t know if she’ll like it. Trying new things can be fun, especially when it comes to food.


I am Simply Me and I Love Pie is a sweet children’s picture book with a heartfelt message. As many parents can attest, it’s difficult to get children to try something new, especially when the new thing is a type of food. I am Simply Me and I Love Pie is a terrific tale to show children how fun it is to try something new. The wording is uncomplicated and in clear, bold typeface. The illustrations are expressive, colorful, and accurately portray the storyline. I especially liked the expressions of Shani. The author is a talented writer, and she knows how to reach children. A must-own and highly recommend!


My Rating: 5 stars
