I just love the Pugtato series! The rhyming verses and the illustrations are so fun for kids and adults alike!!

This sequel just didn't live up to the humorous puns of the first book. It was confusing at times too to understand why the snouts kept saying they weren't babies, while Pugtato was acting more like the baby. I still love all the puns of the creatures in this book and wish we could have seen more of them.

The illustrations on this book were really cute, but the story wasn’t very impressive. I think it’s a little too long to be a good kid’s book.

Review of Pugtato Babysits the Snouts

As an adult I found this story a little weird with the characters being a cross between animal and vegetables. With the main character being a Pugtato, a cross between a potato and a pug. However the story was cute and the illustrations well done. My six year whose is the main option that matters old loved the story and gives it 5 stars.

I LOVED THIS BOOK! My daughter loved it too and it’s impossible to get her excited about reading! In the newest Pugtato adventure he is babysitting the Snouts! As the last book, this is an absolutely adorable story about never underestimating those that are smaller and/or younger than us! As always, we love a rhyming story! ❤️

DISCLAIMER: I received this book free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another great Pugtago book! I read this one with my daughter and we loved the little Snouts! These books are adorable and cute. It is a fun story to read with your little ones. I really enjoyed the illustrations

Thank you to Netgalley for the e-ARC

While the Brussel Snouts’ parents go to the market, they ask Pugtato to watch their three mischievous children. Pugtato takes them to the nursery, where they proceed to get in all sorts of trouble before being reunited with their parents. This fun picture book is full of vegetable puns; as their names imply, Pugtato is a pug/potato and the Brussel Snouts are Brussel sprouts/piglets. The rhyming text and the Brussel Snouts’ antics will entertain preschool-age readers, and the snouts’ constant refrain that they are “NOT babies” will resonate with readers even if it doesn’t add much to the story. This is evidently the second book in its series, following Pugtato Finds a Thing published in 2020.

This book was so ridiculously cute. My girls and my husband and I really enjoyed it. The story is fun and the illustrations are adorable. This is definitely one that we would read again!

Pugtato Babysits the Snouts is another joyful Pugtato story. I adore the different vegetables and how they become animals. This one is not my absolute favorite Pugtato book, but it is very cute none the less. A fun story for young children to enjoy.

Pugtato is asked to babysit the Brussels Snouts. He is confident he can do it, but those tricky little piglets are determined to put him to the test. I loved the touch at the end of the Snouts asking "can we babysit Pugtato again?" This book contains all the fun puns and illustrations from the rest of the series.

I was disappointed in this installment of Pugtato. I love the orignal Pugtato Finds a Thing, and often recommend it to patrons at my library. But this book lacked all the sly humor that made the original so hilarious. We barely meet any animal-vegetables, and didn't understand what part of the book was supposed to be funny. Is it that the snouts don't think they're babies? Is Pugtato actually a baby? Are we just laughing at the snouts' hijinks? The rhyming felt forced too. Whereas Pugtato Finds a Thing flowed smoothly while you read, this book had more awkward, stilted rhymes that just didn't sound great when read aloud. I'll still read other books in the series, but I hope they're better than Pugtato Babysits the Snouts.

Thanks to NetGalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

The pictures are cute and the rhyming is nice. The names are all puns and I don’t like that in a book aimed at an age range that is trying to learn correct names for things.

This was a additional book in the Pugtato series. The pictures and characters are fun and engaging. I also love the vegetable element to encourage healthy eating in kids. This book has lots of word play and will spark the imagination. When Pugtato babysits - you start to wonder who is babysitting who!

This was the most enjoyable and cute book ever! I absolutely adored the theme of it. The illustrations were fantastic and creative. I couldn't help but laugh while I was reading it and then read it again out loud, which caused me to laugh even more. The concept was so sweet and adorable. I can't imagine someone buying this book and not enjoying it. I would definitely buy this book for my own kids or the little ones or family and friends.

This is my favorite of the series so far! The wordplay and illustrations are good for a lot of giggles. As with the other books, the creative use of vegetables will spark the imagination. I can’t wait for the next!

Thanks to NetGalley for the eARC of Pugtato Babysits the Snouts by Sophie Corrigan. Such an adorable, imaginative book! I loved the illustrations and the inventiveness of the creatures! Pugtato gets asked to babysit the snouts, but again and again, you wonder, who is baby sitting who as the snouts insist that they aren't babies!

Pugtato babysits snouts is such a funny and well illustrated book. Kids will enjoy and laugh at this silly pug and the way he interacts with the world. Even I was laughing with the kids. They really can’t get enough pugs.

Pugtato series of picture books for young children is just delightful! Pugtato has a job to do babysitting the snouts but at the end you wonder who is babysitting who. It has great charm to it and your children will love the snout family. A very curious family. It plays off the old nursery rhyme the pigs going to the market with a few twists. You and your children will love it. Definitely a classic

A special thank you to Zonderkidz and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review

We love Pugtato and his stories. The characters in this book are delightful and my kids really enjoyed the cries of 'we're not babies' from the Brussel Sprouts - something we've certainly heard in this house from time to time! I'd absolutely recommend this to parents who are looking for bedtime stories that they can get some fun out of too.

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.
