This is the 2nd Pugtato book! Pugtato is a spunky little pug potato. In this book he visits all his various animal-veggie friends like croccoli and unicorn on the cob. This sweet rhyming tale is loaded with colorful whimsical illustrations of these creatures My little guy liked for me to linger on each page so he could take in the pictures. Its a quick little book that can easily be worked into even the most rushed of bedtimes. And maybe, just maybe, it will make your kids appreciate veggies.
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy!

Holy crap, this is about the cutest thing I've ever seen.
My nephew was so amused by the food-as-animals concept, and we had a lot of fun looking at each and finding the funny. I think the Croccoli was his favorite.
The story itself, of being friends and celebrating each other's uniqueness, was lost on him, but not on me. Absolutely wonderful read, and can be enjoyed over and over, as children love to do.

Originally posted on my blog: Nonstop Reader.
Pugtato, Let's Be Best Spuddies is an adorable sequel by Sophie Corrigan. Due out 30th March 2021 from Zonderkidz, it's 24 pages and will be available in boardbook format.
The text is positive and upbeat, with sweetly silly rhyming text, and adorable illustrations. The characters are clever vegetable/animal hybrids (Pugtato, Tweetroot, Tomatoad, and others). The story follows Pugtato as he and his friends have fun, make music, and play.
With so many varied characters, the potential for silly read-along voices is stellar. There are lots of small details in the drawings providing lots of potential for hunt-and-find during storytime. It might be important to some readers to know that although Zondervan is a Christian publishing house, there is no overt Christian branding or proselytizing included in this book. The messages are of kindness and compassion, playing nicely with others, and being good to one another.
Four stars

A cute story about friendship, and what makes good friends, with cute pictures that will have toddlers giggling as they enjoy "seeing" each of the "animals" and it would make a perfect book for garden-loving kiddos too.
I voluntarily received and reviewed a complimentary e/copy of this book which I received from the author/publisher. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.

This is another pun-filled Pugtato book about being a good friend and how different friends have different qualities that make them special. I liked this one even more than the first Pugtato book. Pugtato, Let's Be Best Spuddies is funny and creative with a positive educational theme, and it's short so it should have no problem holding children's attention.

Downloaded for free via Netgalley; of free will review.
This is definitely a book where they took the pictures and then wrote story around them.
The artwork is cute, silly and adorable. veggies are animals and they're friends. It's cute. I like the artwork it's fun
There are Brussel sprout pigs. It's overall worthwhile to purchase for kiddos or a classroom library either for a reader or to look over illustrations.

If this isn't the best title I've seen in 2021, I don't know what is!
Sophie Corrigan's adorable book book series has another addition (and man was I excited!). Pugtato is the weirdest yet coolest book I found and I'm digging every second of it.
We're introduced to Pugtato's interesting friends: like Cowbbage (that spelling is so weird, let's be honest) who loves to help him, Tomatoad who is the funkiest little red toad I ever did see, Croccoli who is the most interesting creature I've ever seen, and many more!
The illustrations and the whole concept is wildly amusing and I love. I honestly think this is a great picture book packed with comedy. I adore this series and will continue to support it and giggle and grin along with it. I also love that this book is all about friendship and fun. I highly recommend this book!
Five out of five stars.

The pugtato books are just so creative. We are introduced to their friends like Brussells Snouts and Unicorn on the Cob. The book is simple, but told so well, with a great rhyming pattern and fun illustrations it could be read over and over again.

This lovely story introduces you to Pugtato and their friends. The names are fun to say and make you giggle when you read them. It is an adorably fun and imaginative read.
The art is well drawn and very creative. I personally loved Tweetroot, Purrsnip, and Brussels Snouts.
A review by my 2 year old:
- They did not like Pugtato on the first page (I don't know why Pugtato is a adorable)
- Favorite was Tweetroot
- They LOVED smiling like Croccli.
