Little Wonder by Claire Keane - ADVISABLE

Little Wonder
by Claire Keane.
PICTURE BOOK Chronicle Books, 2022 $18 9781797208121 

BUYING ADVISORY:, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

An underwater boy, named Little Wonder, spends his day exploring and experiencing his world. The narration is a "letter" from his mother, which complements the illustrations. "High and low, near and far, your curiosity leads the way." 

I think this would make a nice bedtime story - the adventure is what dreams are made of - finding treasure, a mermaid, monsters (which are friendly) and some little bit scary situations - like finding the skeleton of a huge fish and then walking inside! A good first day of school book, one that will send the child off and assure them that mother will be their biggest cheerleader.
