It's no secret that we all love pugtato! Such a sweet little picture book. The characters are cute, the story is always upbeat and positive and the illustrations are eye-catching.

Pugtato is loved by all my kids. These are must have books for your child's bookshelf.

As always, thank you to the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review

This book was so cute and I think that it was an amazing addition to the Pugtato series! I will definitely be reading more books from this series!

The art style was really cute and I really enjoyed reading about all of the characters!

Pugtato thinks that babysitting will be an easy job but he finds out that it is a little trickier than he thinks. This would be a good book for your library if the first Pugtato book was popular or if kids really like books with animals.

These Pugtato books are about the cutest things in the world. The nephew really enjoys them, and maybe ONE DAY, I can show him that these little vegetable spuddies are really tasty, too.

In this installment, Pugtato has been tasked with babysitting the Brussel Snouts, three adorable veggie piglets who are most assuredly NOT BABIES. Pugtato thinks he needs to keep them safe, but these cuties are the ones who end up teaching him a thing or two.

Much giggle, much enjoyed.

A super cute book! Read with my youngest daughter and toddler son. They both loved it. The illustrations are really cute also!

Another cute entry into the Pugtato series, this rhyming story finds Pugtato doing his best to babysit the Brussels Snouts. However, the three children insist that they are NOT babies, which leads to quite a few hijinks with various punny-named creatures. Some of the rhymes fall a little flat, but the story and artwork is cute and Pugtato is a fun character who is always trying his best. A fun read-aloud for slightly older kids who will appreciate the puns and relate to the Snouts.

Confession time, I have always wanted to read a Pugtato book and when I saw this available to request on NetGalley, I jumped on requesting it and was granted it, thank you!

Pugtato is SO ADORABLE. The storyline was cute, the color pallet gentle and relaxed and the artwork was beautiful. I can see this book and all of the Pugtato books becoming instant favorites with younger readers.

Definitely one I am glad I have read and one I will be recommending at the store.

4 solid and squee-worthy stars.

My thanks to NetGalley and Zonderkidz for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

Thank you to Netgalley and Zonderkidz for access to this arc.

This is the third Pugato book I’ve read and they just keep getting cuter. This time Pugato discovers that babysitting isn’t as easy as it looks – which is something I bet most adults have already discovered – no matter how cute the babies are. And if the “babies” don’t think they’re that at all, well who knows what will happen.

The inventive mash-up of veggies and animals is ingenious – Pugtato, Brussel Snounts, and artichicks among others. The illustrations are fantastic and (for the most part) the rhyming is fun and entertaining (with only one bit I had to reread to get it to come out right in my head). I can see adults and children having fun reading out loud and listening to this one. B+

This is one of the cuteness Children's book that I have read. I read this book to my kids, and they loved it so much. The pictures where so cute and fun. This book was just fun and funny and cute. I cannot say how much I loved this book. This book pulled my kids totally into it. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Zonderkidz) or author (Sophie Corrigan) via NetGalley, so I can give honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that.

This is an absolutely captivating children's book. The pictures are vibrant and I love that as you spend time looking at each picture you can pick up tiny details. The writing was perfect and I really liked the way that it rhymed. It was full of action and I can see children connecting with the not a baby theme. Overall, this was everything you would want in a children's book.

In this installment of Pugtato, he gets to babysit the snouts while their parents are gone to market. Adventure ensues. Like any good babysitter, Pugtato is worried about the snouts getting hurt, but they insist that they are NOT BABIES!

While this wasn't my favorite Pugtato, it was still very enjoyable. Kids will love the illustrations and fun food to animal names. I do wish that we got to see more characters in this installment, but the ones we did get were too cute (my favorite was the croccoli).

I hope there will be more in the future!

Thank you to Sophie Corrigan, Zondervan, and NetGalley for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A cute and funny book for any pug lover. My 9 year old loved it. The illustrations were adorable and helped with some of the trickier animal/vegetables mash up names. Great book to read with kids. Can be read as a stand alone from the other Pugtato book. I will have to find those now to read with my 9 year old.

This books was super creative and fun. It combined some out of the box items to make some unique creatures that told an entertaining story in rhyming fashion. I loved the surprises of different characters in the story and the sweetness and playfulness of the characters.

What a fun book!
We loved reading this, the snouts looked like they had a blast, was such a interesting story

I think what we liked the most was that it was different and unlike something we had read before

This is such a funny story and with such good illustrations! Pugtato is doing his chores in the garden when the Snouts ask him to babysit their children. Pugtato is happy to help look after their babies but the little snouts keep insisting they aren’t babies.

I love how simple and yet funny this book is and the brilliant twist at the end. As Pugtato begins his babysitting duties the Snouts want to do all sorts of things like play at the nursery, paint pots, swim, etc. Pugtato keeps trying to look after the babies, worried about their safety but the snouts insist that they aren’t babies and keep trying to get Pugtato involved in their activities. I won’t reveal what happens as it’s quite a short but very funny story, however there’s a brilliant twist of events and I just love what happens at the end to Pugtato, and that outfit!

I just love the illustrations so much. I’ve been a fan of Sophie Corrigan’s work ever since I saw her illustrations in ‘Lulu is a Rhinoceros’ and I’ve been a fan of her vegetable inspired creatures ever since on Instagram. But now having the first chance to read about Pugtato’s adventures in this book I just love how fun all of the characters look and how brilliant the vegetable inspired animals are! Who knew you could have so many different creatures made of vegetables/animals, but I just love their expressions and how everyone looks. The illustrations really make the story so funny, especially with the final pages and what Pugtato looks like!

This is such a fun book and I’m sure many children will love to look at the illustrations and enjoy the wonderful rhyming words of Putato’s adventure. The entire book has a constant rhyming pattern which I enjoyed and it’s such a fun and funny story, I can’t wait to read more of Pugtato’s adventures in other books! It’s definitely a book I’d recommend and one I think both children and adults will enjoy looking at more than once.

☆☆☆☆ 4/5
This book was so charming, funny and entertaining. My 5-year-old son really loved it. We both found the character's names to be hilarious and well written. This tells the story about Pugtato's adventure as he babysits the Brussel Snouts. The rhymes and illustrations are marvellous and perfect for me and my son to read it aloud. We will definitely read this again and buy it as soon as it's available in stores.

SO CUTE! I love these Pugtato books. They're always fun and full of puns. This one was great with a fun little twist at the end. The illustrations are always really great too! Keep looking and you'll find something new. Overall, must read!

This is a fun story with anthropomorphized and zoomorphized veggies... original to say the least! I haven't read Sophie Corrigan's other Pugtato books but it's obvious that she has a vivid imagination which is also seen in her charming illustrations. The rhyme isn't always fluid but there's so much to enjoy about her characters that this is not a big deal. I also liked working out who is really in charge at each stage of the story! All in all, this is well worth the fun. I will be seeking out the others books in the series. Thank you to ZonderKidz and NetGalley for sharing this Advance Reader Copy with me.
