Join Cleo on a fun filled journey. This rhyming story is sure to delight any child not to mention the wonderful illustrations. Cleo spends her journey doing all sorts of thing from baking, experiments and building a tree house. Nice addition to any school or home library.

In this adorable story we follow little Cleo as she goes about her day and exploring her world. She goes on an adventure to share all the things she likes with us. The colorful and bright illustrations add life and a vision to this adventure. We loved seeing all the things she loves, some that are the same as us. We loved cooking with mommy, chasing the ice cream truck and cuddling together with Mom and dad. I loved that it opened up discussion with our family and talked about all the things we like, and love. Your family will love this book. Enjoy taking the adventure with Cleo.
A great story to share.

This is a healthy book for children to explore what they like. As a parent, one must always give their children everything that makes them learn new things in this world and they will eventually learn about their skill that they need to furnish in future.
Cleo went on a journey full of fun with her family. She did experiments at school, watch seaside, build treehouse with her father. This shows the daily life of a happy family where children grow to instill better values and sense of happiness in themselves.

Illustrations were also very good. So clear and joyful.

Cute children’s read. I like the rhyming component of it. The illustrations are diverse and vibrant. I’d buy this for my niece and read to her and hopefully she’ll read it once she’s a little older.

Really cute book full of beautiful and colorful illustrations. It's a very short story but I think it's perfect for young children around the age of 2 to 4 years old not to get bored.
I particularly loved how inclusive the drawings were and the overall positive message of the story. There isn't really any plot or conflict, but it feels more like a poetic list of all the things in life that kids love to do, so I think they'll enjoy it a lot.

This book is simply adorable! Bright, colorful and entertaining, too! It’s a quick and entertaining read. Very positive and uplifting, guaranteed to leave children with a smile on their face. I will definitely be adding this one to my classroom library. Highly recommend.

A fabulously colourful book for young children which is perfect for sharing and generating lots of discussion about what they like. It is written in rhyme which is certain to delight the children and could also be used for developing predictions since the colourful pictures display over several pages so the next part of the rhyme is not always visible. I loved this book.

This was an enjoyable little book. I liked how there were people from different ethnicities included. The little girl liked to do many different things and seemed to have a lot of fun doing them.
The illustrations were very nice and well done. This book would be a great book for any child’s library!

Very simple story about what she likes to do! I liked the focus of family. This could work to give kids an idea for a writing prompt about things they like. Other than that, the story and illustrations were almost too plain and simple.

Adorable Cleo recounts some of her favorite activities — a visit to the beach, a science experiment, ice cream from the truck, and more — in this lovely picture book.
Marlon Huggins words are charming, but readers will love his illustrations even more.

I love the diversity in this book, I know kids will be over the moon with seeing their own families in the pictures. A very cute day in the life of a lively little kiddo.

Thanks NetGalley for the e copy. Well this was an average book. The illustrations and colors are a bit industrial for my taste. It lacks the coziness and freshness of children’s books but I am sure it will be a fun book for many people.

This is a great little story with cute and simple illustrations.

It's going to be a great conversation starter for kids in the classroom about every day things they love to do with friends and family.

I'll definitely pick it up for my classroom!
