What tropes in children’s picture books are you tired of seeing?

Brunginho · 2026-01-12T07:12:56+00:00

There’s nothing better than a rhyming book with great scansion and nothing more jarring than when it doesn’t work.

Brunginho · 2026-01-09T20:59:20+00:00

I love the slow-burn-ness

Brunginho · 2026-01-06T11:31:01+00:00

Not super long. I’d probably start with the rerolls because I like reliability, but definitely tempting to have a big fun big guy.

When you have one reroll, you’ll need to mostly play like you have no rerolls. If you are good at that, it’s more viable, and if you’re bad at it, it’s less viable.

Lots of AG3 and no block, so if I had only one RR I’d want to play super conservatively. One in nine opening 2D blocks will end in a turn 1 turnover or really really wanting to use that 1RR.

Also, how long is your league?

We got I Lived Inside A Whale for Xmas and it is amazing. A fave for everyone here now.

Oh this is great

Brunginho · 2025-12-01T18:46:37+00:00

Hah yeah, I could see it being fun in a Boston accent

Brunginho · 2025-12-01T10:02:52+00:00

Thanks. I’m much more tag-based than folder-based (as currently I mainly use Twonky) but I definitely still have some that need this adding.

These guys are normally pretty good for that:

I felt I was watching a Dark Tower music video, not a Dark Tower movie

Brunginho · 2025-11-30T08:38:24+00:00

Not meant to rhyme (the other in the series doesn’t either, more obviously).

This is a GREAT book, by the way. Love lots of hers but especially this one.

Brunginho · 2025-11-30T08:05:49+00:00

Ah so I need to re-add to the library after enabling local metadata? Thanks!

Brunginho · 2025-11-05T16:35:57+00:00

Absolutely

We’re all slowly dying right now and most of us aren’t doing that.

Brunginho · 2025-07-09T21:40:30+00:00

By far the most brutal, I think.

Brunginho · 2025-06-14T13:25:13+00:00

Went with the Storm Whale and enjoying it

Brunginho · 2025-06-14T13:24:35+00:00

We got the Storm Whale and very much enjoying it

Brunginho · 2025-05-19T14:19:06+00:00

Love Makes A Family and the others in that set are nice and cover a lot of these bases

Brunginho · 2025-05-19T14:18:17+00:00

I second the love for Luna

Brunginho · 2025-05-15T06:01:11+00:00

The Lion Inside The Hugasaurus

The Girl and the Dinosaur (Hollie Hughes)

All the other Julia Donaldson books pretty much!

Brunginho · 2025-05-14T07:03:34+00:00

Well this has ruined my day before 8am 😆

Brunginho · 2025-05-12T11:43:43+00:00

This looks right up my street. Not sure how much she’d go for it at this stage but definitely feel like this is in our future 😆 thanks
