40 pages

ISBN: 9781534465749

A charming, adorable picture book celebrates the meaning of family. Families are for belonging, hugs, getting dressed, playing, talking and even quiet times. Charming characters include rabbits, mice, fox, raccoons, bears, skunks and several others.

Thiesing captures each character with warmth and whimsy. Families come in all types of animals and not only all of one type. Momma bunny says "Good morning!" to her daughter mouse. Another family is a dog, a cat and a mouse.

The illustrations allow the author to show inclusion and belonging without stating it in text. This keeps the picture book warm and cuddly, not preachy. This is the perfect bedtime read for children and their families.

Recommended for bedtime stories for children of all ages.

Shahrzad learns about a king who lost his beloved wife and child and turned vindictive, making laws that would cause all his people to become as unhappy as he was.

Shahrzad goes to the king and tells him stories---perhaps ten, perhaps a hundred and one, perhaps a thousand and one---and the king listens to the stories and the king thinks about the stories and, slowly, the king starts to see himself and his kingdom and his people differently.

This is an intriguing new version of Tales from 1001 Nights that confirms readers' deepest beliefs: stories can change the world.

Llewellyn doesn't like to feel sad or angry or embarrassed or lonely, and he comes up with a plan to deal with his feelings: he hides his feelings in a jar and puts them away so he won't be bothered with them.

It isn't long before he finds that he needs to hide not only the bad feelings, but also he has to hide feelings of excitement and joy, too.

And then he has no more room for jars...

A lovely little story that promotes good mental health for kids and, maybe, for grownups, too.

Dat is in a new school in a new place and everyone around him speaks gibberish, but Dat does not. He feels all alone until, suddenly, a person appeared on the playground with him. They couldn't really talk together at first, but they could play. School is hard without knowing gibberish, and the school bus ride is lonely until the person appears again and begins to teach Dat words. And pretty soon Dat and Julie are friends and are filled with words to share together.

This story felt so fresh and new and I loved the way Julie boldly befriended Dat and how that friendship benefited them both. The illustrations beautifully carry the parts of the story that are hard to communicate in words.

Review at Charlotte's Library
Charlotte's Library: Two great dog picture books (charlotteslibrary.blogspot.com)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
I was lucky enough to be at ALA this past weekend in D.C., and enjoyed not only seeing friends, but filling tote bags with (mostly) kids books. Now that me and my books are home again, I'm determined to get on top of reviewing the finished books in particular, so that they can get on the library shelves and into the hands of their target audience!

So here are two fun dog picture books that even a cat person can appreciate (although cats won't; my cat, needy after my ALA absence, didn't like how much room they took up in my lap....)

I'm Not Missing, by Kashelle Gourley, illustrated by Skylar Hogan (May 2022 by little bee books)

I'll start by saying how much I adore the side-eye of this book's fictional dog narrator! He's a dog who grew tired of being a pet--the costumes he was forced to wear, the tricks he had to perform, the lack of toilet privacy, etc. And so he snapped one day, and took off on his own, looking askance at the missing dog posters adorned with his image, scrounging for food, and finally pooping without an audience. But then he sees his little girl loving a new dog. Though he tries to just nonchalantly accept that she's moved on to another relationship, when he realizes she was just pet-sitting, and when he sees her weeping while looking at his missing dog picture, he gives being a pet again another chance. Fun and adorable, and thought-provoking too with regards to relationships, with illustrations that made me grin.

Woof! The Truth about Dogs, by Annette Whipple, illustrated by Juanbjuan Oliver (June 2021 by Reycraft Books)

This non-fiction book is perfect for young dog-lovers wanting to learn more about their beloveds, but also great for kids who aren't familiar with dogs. Information about all sorts of dog topics is presented in a kid-friendly question and answer format, such as "How do dogs help people?" with lots of pictures of dogs doing their various jobs (helping, guarding, herding, and loving) as well as basic information in the text focusing on service jobs.

There are questions I'd never thought to ask, like "do dogs sweat?" (yes, from nose and paws), questions whose answers are nicely science-y, like "why are puppies born with closed eyes?" and "why do dogs smell everything?" and one that (many) kids might have wondered, and will find transgressively delightful --"why do dogs smell butts?" (which is answered with lovely matter-of-factness). I think two of the most important questions, though, are "how do dogs communicate?" and "how to meet and great a dog." Lots of good information here that might well keep enthusiastic but un-dog- smart kids from harm!

Plus there are lots of cute dog pictures, both illustrations and photographs, and instructions for a tug toy kids can make.

Take a Breath

A Caitlyn Dlouhy Book

Atheneum Books for Young Readers

2022

40 pages

ISBN: 9781543392530

Bob is a baby bird who yearns to fly like all the other birds. He tries and tries, but always ends up...not flying. Bob tries to stay busy to keep his mind off flying, but he wants so badly to be normal.

A passing crow stops to ask Bob what's wrong. Bob tells Crow his troubles. Crow listens and agrees that learning to fly is tough. He had trouble himself. Crow encourages Bob to calm down and learn to breath. Bob thinks Crow is making fun of him because he's been breathing his entire life! But Crow shows Bob how to center himself, calm down and relax. They practice cleansing yoga breaths together. Bob feels so much better! He knows he can fly and he feels great about himself.

The last line of the story is powerful: "Sometimes you just have to be grounded before you can fly." Anyone learning a new passion will love Take a Breath.

The back cover illustration is a joke in itself. Well-done!

Highly, highly recommended ages 3-8.

The Library Fish

by Alyssa Satin Capucilli

Illustrations by Gladys Jose

A Paula Wiseman Book

Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers

2022

32 pages

ISBN: 9781534477056

When librarian Mr. Hughes finds a fish in a bowl on the steps of the library with a note "I love stories," he decides to put the fish in the library. Library Fish loves it on Mr. Hughs desk where it can see all the children and what stories they are reading. Library Fish especially loves story time as she listens in with the children. She hears stories of interesting characters and wild places like outer space. She likes to travel in the bookmobile with Mr. Hughes as he passes out books to children. Mr. Hughes knows the exact book to give to each of his readers.

One day there's a snowstorm, so the library is closed. Library Fish is sad that no one is coming in, but she knows how to find the perfect story. She launches herself out of her bowl and goes to the story time area. She begins reading. Outside, the bookmobile honks its horn, and Library Fish realizes she can read to the little truck through the library window. Library Fish has a night full of adventures and climbs back into her bowl.

The next morning Mr. Hughes comes in and swears Library Fish looks especially tired. She might have even yawned. When Mr. Hughes sees all the picture books on the floor and books propped up in the window and the Bookmobile truck pulled up to the window, he's confused and scratches his head.

But readers know, Library Fish knows, and the Bookmobile knows who was reading the stories and sharing them in the window.

Heartfelt and sweet, The Library Fish celebrates reading, libraries, books and smart, helpful librarians. It's nice to see a MALE librarian, and even more fantastic, he's a librarian who listens to the kid readers and matches them all with a book he knows they'll like. Library science is a science of the heart (I might need to trademark this sentence). TM. Library science is a science of the heart and it feeds the soul (TM Ha, even better) and it's nice to see an author celebrate the heart and soul of a good librarian.

Highly recommended for any story time at every library and classroom. A must read ages 3-9.

I Don't Want to Read This Book

Illustrations by Mike Lowery

An Imprint of Penguin Random House LLC

Highly entertaining and enjoyable!

Charming and silly, humorist Max Greenfield takes on reading and especially reluctant readers in I Don't Want To Read This Book. The unnamed narrator really doesn't want to read this book, or any books for that matter because BOOKS had WORDS and WORDS become SENTENCES and sentences turn into PARAGRAPHS!

And sometimes words are okay like "cake" and "YouTube." Other times words don't make sense like "doubt." No one pronounces the B, so why is it there? and long words are too hard to understand. Our silly narrator makes perfect sense, of course, and kid readers will be amused and some struggling readers will empathize and agree.

Before you know it, it's THE END and the reluctant reader has read a book. Even more exciting is the fact that reader ENJOYED READING a book!

Bold design and color by illustrator Mike Lowery keep readers turning the pages.

Highly, highly recommended for any young reader especially those who claim they don't like to read.

Goodnight, Butterfly

by Ross Burach

Scholastic Press

2022

32 pages

ISBN: 9781338615012

Delightful, whimsical and laugh-out loud funny, young readers will empathize with Butterfly's silly questions and attempts to cheat sleep. Butterfly and Porcupine are two of the most lovable characters in a picture book. Ross Burach keeps kids laughing with his colorful illustrations of even more colorful character antics.

Butterfly wakes up when a porcupine chomps on his breakfast nearby. Porcupine explains he is "nocturnal," and Butterfly responds, "I know you're not a turtle!" Porcupine says it means he's opposite--he eats at night and sleeps in the day. This sets off a barrage of silly questions from ever quizzical Butterfly. He asks if Porcupine does EVERYTHING opposite.

This leads to a hilarious exchange between the two with exciting illustrations. Butterfly decides he, too, will be nocturnal and they can be best buds. He makes a "Big Plans List" for "BNFFs (Best Nocturnal Friends Forever)." As the night progresses, Butterfly gets more and more wound up. Porcupines suggests he sleep when Butterfly mistakes a pinecone for Porcupine--a  captivating illustration by master Ross Burach! Finally, Porcupine teaches Butterfly how to relax and put himself to sleep with happy thoughts.

This picture book is bound to be a bedtime favorite as most youngsters will see themselves in Butterfly: too restless to sleep and too energetic to give in to slumber.

Highly, highly recommended for every child's bookshelf. This book's a real winner! Ages 3-8.
