The ones you trip over in the catalog!

 I am old enough to remember when the catalog did not have book covers in it. It was short of revolutionary when we added those!! Being a visual learner, I love browsing the catalog and that is how I stumbled upon this book. I put it on hold and it turned out to be a winner!

Beautiful, bright, collaged pictures accompanied by very large type are inviting to the reader. There is a final page about the four animals featured in the book: tree squirrel, bat, beaver and bear. This would be great for fall but might be interesting, too, to read in the summer and talk about the opposite time of the year.

Happy Earth Day! (April 22)

I had the pleasure of sharing this beautiful book at story time this morning. This was my choice for celebration of Earth Day. I love the picture books of Todd Parr!!

The refrain, in large letters, is "Love Yourself. Love the World."

A fantastic book about the sun for an eclipse day or anytime!

In this book, the sun has a healthy ego, and why not? The sun is pretty great!
Very fun book with great facts. Here are the spreads I enjoyed while sharing this book at story time on April 8, 2024, prior to the eclipse!! The eclipse was SO COOL despite us not being on the path of totality!
