There are some great new picture books on our shelves. Some of my recent favorites include:
Captain Small Pig, written by Martin Waddell and illustrated by Susan Varley. This picture book, appropriate for pre-K and up, is a beautifully rendered story all about a magical day out. A perfect start to the summer season.
Mirror Mirror, written by Marilyn Singer and illustrated by Josee Masse, is a book of reversible verse. Classic fairy tales are rewritten and turned upside down in order to show that there are two sides to every story. A truly inventive work for kids in grades 3+.
Bunny Days, by Tao Nyeu, is a trio of hilarious stories, all involving cute cotton-tailed bunnies who get into some unexpected predicaments. Be sure to pay special attention to the wonderful retro illustrations. A real treat for pre-K and up.
Enjoy these and other new picture books on our shelves. Be sure to share your thoughts on my picks and recommend some of your own!
