I catalog hundreds of new picture books each year, and I read as many of them as I can. Unfortunately, I can’t review them all. But I can share them! Below are a few recent titles. (Summaries have been taken directly from the books whenever possible.) Check your local library or bookstore for availability.
There are lots of awesome new titles in this batch!
Excavator, Bulldozer, Crane Truck, Dump Truck, and Cement Mixer will all need to work together as they tackle their biggest job yet–a massive building.

I have to thank you, actually, one of the libraians from my local branch thanks you as well. I place a hold on as many of the titles you list as possible. Even with reading everything from 12×12 and all the other blogs and sites, I always find some gems from your list. The librarian always comments on my check outs and then checks them out for her son’s preschool. Love your blog!
