I Like by Marlon Huggins is a cute story with a kid naming all the things they like about their life and their day. They like spending time with their parents, being outside and hanging out with friends. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and suit the affirmations spread throughout this book.
My kids and I enjoyed reading this and then taking turns naming all the things we liked about our days and our lives. Great reminder to practice gratitude.
Thank you to NetGalley for this e-copy of I Like by Marlon Huggins.
A sweet story about what the girl in this book likes and why. It makes a great starter to a conversation with children about what they like and why. It's cute and nicely made.
I found it very hard to rate children's books so everything is a 5 star read for me!!
I really loved this book, the illustrations are so beautiful and captivating that I found myself smiling through every page I read.
Pure cover request. Lovely illustrations throughout as well. But as a Black educator, smiling, joyful Black and brown kids deserve to be seen happy and upfront!
Miss for me!
I love life experiences that kids can connect with, however, I don’t feel like it will captivate my little learners. The descriptions of what she likes, lacks depth for me.
Thank you for the advanced copy!
Cute illustrations. Such a sweet short story. Very positive. When asked for an opinion on the book, my child said “check”, as it was apparently enjoyed.

The story of a young girl and her activities . The book is a good social learning book. Teaching children positive behaviors and activities. Shows families and supportive relationships. The book also shows how to care for your self and sharing your feelings and activities. The book also helps with writing example allowing children access to a empathic journal narrative for Journaling.
Cleo goes on an adventurous day and has new experiences alongside her family in this sweet picture book written using a rhyming scheme. I loved that the family depicted here is biracial as it will be vital representation for some children. Cleo's day will encourage kids to have fun and to seek out the enjoyment in each day.
It’s a quick and fast read that will keep the kids engaged. I loved that the sentences rhymed and the illustration were great.
Awesome children’s book with beautiful and engaging illustrations. This title should be added to all children’s bookshelves!
Very cute story that children will love to read. Plan to use this for storytime programs or outreach events for my public library! Great read!
4/5 Stars! Thank you, NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for eARC of I Like by Marlon Huggins.
Pretty quick and cute little book to read to my little one. The illustrations were bright and colorful, got my little ones engaging when reading this story. I love how it focuses on the importance of family and spending time together. Wish there was a name that my kiddos can refer to.
What a gorgeous little book. My granddaughter loved it. It’s engaging, the story is well written and we love the rhyming. The illustrations are beautiful. I can say “I like it! “
Dare I say that I love this book? Or would it be more appropriate to say that I Like it?
The illustrations captivated my daughter, who as an active child can be picky when it comes to what can hold her attention.
We giggled together at a few of the sillier images.
Overall, we adored this book and can’t wait to add it to our nightly book rotation.
Follow the main character as they find the positives throughout their day and share all the things they like.
Found the illustrations radiated the positivity instilled in this book.
What a lovely story that also highlights the importance of family time and ensuring you enjoy it.
I do however wish they’d given the main character a name as I feel it helps children to connect a bit more.
Cute short book about all of the things that Cleo likes. She shows you what she likes to do by taking you on a journey through her life.
Thanks to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC.
an adorable picture book about going on many adventures and having many experiences as a young kid, and adored the representation as well
Adorable children's book! Would be a great bedtime story for a child to reflect on all of the things they like to do, and to be excited to do it all over again. Super cute illustrations too.
A beautiful, uplifting book highlighting the joy to be found in the everyday. I appreciated the diversity of characters showcased and loved the rhymes included. Great vibrant illustrations as well.
Many thanks to the author, publisher and Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
Thank you to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for providing me access to a copy of this book.
It was a nice, short book that is perfect to read right before bed time. It goes over several things that children like, that adults in their lives may take for granted, such as playing games in the treehouse or helping an adult cook dinner. The illustrations were great with very vivid colors.
Overall, it is a great book for younger kids who have shorter attention spans.
