Strawberry Swing by Coldplay is another excellent addition to the LyricPop series of children's books. Combining song lyrics and illustrations for children is a wonderful idea and I have been impressed with all of the ones I have seen.

To the extent that there is a story here, it will likely make adults ponder what happened. But so what! Children hearing the story read to them, or reading it themselves, will simply experience happiness at two friends being reunited.

As I've commented on past reviews and to friends, these books offer a wonderful opportunity to read to a child, show the pictures and enjoy that aspect, and introduce them to the songs. A chance for bonding over several different things and the bonding is perhaps the most important part of picture books for kids.

Recommended for parents and/or as gifts. I also would imagine a Coldplay fan would want it simply because it is Coldplay, so another gift idea.
