Children’s Book Reviews: Windows by Hedger, Splash by Sam Voulters, and The Mole Construction Company by Shingo Nagasaki!

Windows by Thomas Hedger Thank you, Pub Spotlight and Do Re Mi, for the gifted books! All thoughts and opinions are my own (and kids). My 3-year-old is obsessed with this book.

I had to scramble to create this one because the end of the month snuck up on me somehow. lol. Without further ado, let's dive into my October 2026 hopefuls and a brief recap of my reading from last month!

October 2026 Book Releases

It's the end of the month, which means it's once again time to look ahead to some great upcoming book releases. This month's list is a bit lighter than last month's, coming in at 26 books. Although, that's still probably way more than I'll ever have time to read. Oh well. Hopefully, I'll get to them all one day. Regardless, I'm excited to see them enter the world and find their readers.
