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’s a lot of blue in the covers this week!

I’m really excited to read these. I saw Elmore in the library and fell in love with those illustrations! I showed it to my daughter and she promptly turned it down for a book with a robot turtle monster. Sigh. True story. But I loved Elmore. 🙂

One of my favorites of the bunch! Maybe she’ll change her mind in the near future and give it a chance. Although the robot turtle sounds fun too! 🙂
