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.

STORMY: With patience and kindness, a young woman gains the trust of a frightened little homeless dog. Lovely!, Wordless (This reminds me so much of my dog!)
ONE RED SOCK: When a little purple hippo cannot find the mate for her red sock, she tries every sock in her drawer in order to be fashionable, or, at least, to match. Cute!, Rhyme

AND THEN THE SEED GREW: When a seed drops from the sky and takes root, the new plant wreaks havoc for all the garden’s inhabitants.

I’m not usually a wordless fan, but Stormy really tugged at my heart strings. I love dog stories!
