A QUICK LOOK AT SOME OF OUR MOST RECENT REVIEWS (UPDATED 1/20/2021)
Another Book About Bears (Michelle Robinson, Rosalind Beardshaw):
Mom Read It: “I love a story that breaks the fourth wall! … Kids will laugh out loud at the deadpan humor, and the ultimate solution that works for everyone is priceless. Originally published in Australia in 2018, Another book about bears is storytime hilarity just waiting to be revealed.”
Draw Me a Story (Olivier Dupin, Geneviève Després):
Mai storybook library: “This charming read is full of fairy tale twists. … A delightful read for inspiring littles to follow their creative passions and create their own stories.”
Hooray, It's Garbage Day! (Eric Ode, Gareth Llewhellin):
Mom Read It: “Fun sounds in the story make for fun read alouds: let your kiddos stomp and smash, rumble and crash as you read along. Kids can count from 1 to 5 along with garbage truck workers, garbage cans, neighborhood kids waving, and more. When the kids in the book make up their own garbage crew using art supplies, encourage your kiddos (if you’re virtual) to make their own signs and trucks, or (if you’re in person) hand some out!”
I Like the Outdoors ... What Jobs Are There? (Carron Brown, Roberto Blefari):
Storymamas: “These books can be read from start to finish, or the illustrated table of contents can guide you as you jump around and explore different jobs. We highly recommend this nonfiction book!”
The Perfect Fit (Naomi Jones, James Jones):
Kirkus Reviews: “The clear themes of playing together and overcoming differences are appropriate for early-childhood classes, library storytimes, and family reading. … Shape learning, color recognition, and a message of friendship, neatly arranged.”
Little Cub Literacy: “What first appears to be a book about shapes actually has a much deeper message for young readers.”
