Another Book About Bears (Laura Bunting, Philip Bunting):
Kirkus Reviews: “This metanarrative is made especially entertaining by its conversational tone. … The inclusion of some nonstandard animals in the cast also helps to sustain interest. Bear-y fun.”
Lenny and Wilbur & Where's Lenny? (Ken Wilson-Max):
Eat Read Play: “Sweet read aloud for young listeners or can be used as a beginning reader. … This everyday, fun-loving story is about building confidence and independence.”
My Book (Not Yours) (Ben Sanders):
Kirkus Reviews: “Slow Lento’s distressed, anguished, and determined expressions and body language prove the perfect foil for nimble Fox’s mercurial demeanor, outrageous behavior, and arrogant bravado. Very clever in concept and execution.”
The Perfect Shelter (Clare Helen Welsh, Åsa Gilland):
School Library Journal: “…a validating, reassuring presentation of a child’s recovery from serious illness.”
Red Red Red (Polly Dunbar):
Eat Play Read: “The vividly illustrated book is perfect for teaching children calm down strategies for everyday moods and conflicts.”
Room on Our Rock (Kate & Jol Temple, Terri Rose Baynton):
Children's Lit Love: “…one of the more cleverly didactic picture books our family has ever read. … Use this book when teaching point of view or perspective, for pure creative writing inspiration (or, for older writers, a challenge to see if anyone else can create a forward- and backward-reading story), or for talking with children about inclusivity and generosity.”
Superhero Baby! (Patricia Hegarty, Alex Willmore):
Kirkus Reviews: “This glossy book shines with cheery, colorful artwork highlighted by clever juxtapositions of everyday baby life with episodes of derring-do. … Little listeners will be chanting right along with the book: ‘Go-go baby power!’”
Yoga Animals in the Forest (Christiane Kerr, Julia Green):
Kirkus Reviews: “The book works both as a story and as an instructional manual for the mind-body connection sought in yoga. … A sweet introduction to yoga and self-care for adults to use with the very young.”
