Help Wanted, Must Love Books is an absolutely cute, little picture book that will make your heart sing!

If it's not obvious, I love reading! So, when a book like this comes around I get super excited. What is more exciting than a book about loving books?! This sort of book (wow, I'm saying book a lot) would have been one of my favourites as a child. If only there had been a few more of these gems around when I was little!

Shailey is a little girl who loves to read. Her Dad and her read together, but one day he gets a job that makes him too tired to read to her (which is quite frustrating for our little friend). Once she has enough, she fires her Father as her reading buddy and puts out a job posting for a new one! So many people and animals show up for the job, and thus the hunt began! Help was wanted and they must love books (doesn't the title work so well here?).

My positive notes:

1. I absolutely love the cover. The colours are fantastic, the cartoon-y vibe is delightful and I love the detail (butterflies, books, bears... so many b's!). It grabs your attention but doesn't divert you from the story.

2. Shailey is relatable - at least to me! I could see many kids relating and enjoying seeing someone who acts (or looks!) like them. To top it off, the storyline she follows is also relatable (a parent who's new job makes them too busy... yep, check out those relatable boxes!).

3. I like that this story took a creative leap with the different characters who show up for the job interview. I wasn't expecting this book to be super serious, so seeing the array of characters had me chuckling. This would be a great way to get kids talking about prior fairy tales they read! On this note, parents and some older kids may appreciate it more than little kids. Some of our younger reader friends might not be able to remember all of the fun fairy tales they've seen before.

4. The ending was super sweet! Devices OFF during family time, folks!

I can honestly say I don't have any negatives for this book. I think this is a very sweet and very creative book. I would love to see more books like this floating around.

Five out of five stars!

Thank you to NetGalley and Capstone for providing me with a free copy of this book.

This was super cute! I love how all of the different 'storytellers' are depicted and seeing the resumes at the end was such a nice touch. The ending was peaceful, happy, and cute and it just warmed my heart so much! ( )

I received an ARC of this through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased review.

OMG! What a wonderful book! I can't want for this to come out so I can start recommending it to the patrons at my library and buy a copy for my nephew! This book is absolutely lovely! Shailey's dad reads her a story every night, but he gets a new job and is too busy to read to her like he did. She decided to put a help wanted sign up to fill his empty position as bedtime story reader. She gets quite the cast of characters stepping up to fill his shoes. I meant that quite literally - all of our favorite childhood storybook characters come out to accept the position. She finally finds someone in the end - but who will it be? And will the replacement ever match up to her dad?

Oh my goodness, this was darling. The illustrations and the text were so clever. The final touch was the list of job applications on the end page. It was a huge throwback to days when my imagination was much better than it is. Just delightful. ( )
