The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books reviews The Heart Forger by Rin Chupeco:

Booklist reviews Inky the Octopus by Erin Guendelsberger: 
This jaunty tale of derring-do imagines Inky the octopus' real-life escape from the National Aquarium of New Zealand from Inky's point of view... a refrain echoing Inky’s desire to be free in the open sea anchors the story and offers support to young readers and listeners.
Read the full review in the April 1 issue of ​Booklist.

Picture
The Bulletin for the Center For Children's Books reviews The Stupendously Spectacular Spelling Bee ​by Deborah Abela:
Readers will revel in India’s development as she learns not only what it means to be a spelling champion but also what it means to be a good daughter, sister, and friend all rolled into one. Whether readers are interested in family humor, friendship, competition, or just plain fun, this will have something to offer.
You can read the full review in the April 2018 issue of The Bulletin for the Center for Children's Books.

Picture
Kirkus reviews Seven Bad Cats ​by Monique Bonneau:
The rhymed couplets roll like the waves, and the watercolor-and-ink illustrations, mostly full-bleed, double-page spreads, are pale, simple, and charming. The kitties' curves as they leap and pounce (and play with everything) and the young sailor's emotions are deftly displayed in just a few lines. Captures the dual nature of the feline friend, often "bad" but always your buddy. 
Read the full review online here or in the April 1 issue of Kirkus.
