I really enjoyed this one, because it addresses the all too common issue of how one should react when a someone spills the beans: with kindness and understanding.

I read this in Dutch, but it’s not added yet so I’ll do that later.
Storywise there’s not much happening. It’s about sharing secrets and that at times it’s not so bad to share them. It’s for kids obviously, and the idea is to not keep secrets of course, and this book quickly forgives Harry/Harvey for spilling the beans and decide to go and tell everyone about the secret book. So storywise it’s a 2-3 stars, I’m giving it 4 however because I am in LOVE with the art. Some might argue it looks too digital, but I just loved it. Like, I want to buy it and look at it forever loved it. At first glance a lot of it looks the same each page, but there are tiny little changes that subtly change the expressions of the animals.

A companion to "Don't Blink," this picture book starring some of the same characters will tickle young readers' funny bones. The story starts off with a girl asking the reader how they found the book since its existence is super secret. A variety of animals join her, accusing their friends of blabbing and then denying they did so. Finally Harvey the elephant shows up and sheepishly confesses to sharing the secret; everyone else comforts him and lets him know that they have also shared secrets with friends and family before. The format works better as a one-on-one read, rather than a whole class read aloud, and the ending falls a little flat. Not as strong as "Don't Blink," but kids will enjoy it.

Some really cute characters and I enjoy how the font color is used to convey who is speaking, but I wish it had a better message about keeping secrets and what secrets should be kept and which ones can be told.

Neo thought that this would be a great story to read together, choosing to take the lead. The reader discovers early on that this is a super-secret book, one that the animals in the story have been trying to keep under wraps. One by one, the secret spiller is sought and has to be discovered. As the story moves along, some new truths come to light and a decision is made... read it to find out. Neo liked the story, even if it was a little silly. He promises to keep the story secret, but thinks that many people would love it with their young reader.
