I know that the branches books are books that a lot of parents enjoy; however, it's taken me a while to get to one. Thankfully, I knew where to start and decided to pick up the first book in the Layla and the Bots series and it did not disappoint.
Happy Paws is the first book in this early readers series that follows Layla and her robots as they attempt to save a local theme park. Readers get to immerse themselves into some fun illustrations as well as easy to follow text while Layla and the robots develop a fun and interesting STEM-based plan.
What Worked: The illustrations in this one were really fun. I'm not exactly sure what I expected, but for 80 pages, I can genuinely say that I was fully immersed in the story. Layla works hard with her robot friends to develop and sketch out plans to help save this local theme park. It introduces some fun STEM elements that will help younger readers know the right steps to create their own projects. Even as a reader that's not necessarily interested in STEM, I found myself interested in the research and elements that it took for Layla and the bots to be successful.
Overall, I think is is a great transitional text for readers ages 5-7. The story and illustrations will definitely keep them invested in the series....more
