So we got even more picture books in today!
Here we go:
The Pigeon Needs a Bath ("I Do Not" says the Pigeon on the cover)
Mo Willems
ISBN: 9781423190875
The Pigeon, Mo Willems.
Not as amazing as Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! and The Duckling Gets a Cookie? but still funny. Pigeon is now totally filthy, and needs a bath. Well, that's what YOU think. The Pigeon thinks that you are full of it, and he's just fine thankyouverymuch. Unless of course he really does need a bath - OK FINE! But then the bath is too hot, too cold, too lukewarm, too full, too empty, too hot, too cold, too reflective, too wet, too empty, too many toys... (this was a lovely page) until he finally takes the plunge, and then TEN HOURS LATER we find him happily still lounging in the tub. I don't even have kids and I know this is truth in publishing.
Caterina and the Perfect Party
Erin Eitter Kono
ISBN: 9780803739024
Adorable owl in cat-eye glasses. Seriously too cute for words.
This is a book for the young Pinterest-obsessed craftschild. Caterina has lists of everything, and she needs everything to be just perfect, especially her very first party ever - she's inviting all of her friends, you see, so it has to be perfect.
Caterina weathers some crafting mishaps like a pro along the way - the invites get a little drowned in red paint, the decorations might have gotten stepped on, and the food prep was a bit more intensive than she realized, but everything is still great for the party - except that it was an outdoor party, and it rains. Caterina is despondent at the failure of her debut, until all of her friends show up anyway, and prove that a great party is in the people, not the preparations.
Did I mention that Caterina is an adorable owl with cat-eye glasses? Did I? Because it's important.
