We got so many new books in, and I liked most of them, but again, just going to feature my absolute favorites from the pile.
A Library Book for Bear
Bonny Becker, illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton (The Sniffles for Bear)
ISBN: 9780763649241
Bear and Mouse are back again, and this time they're off to the Library. Bear is really not interested - he has seven whole books at home already - what more does he need? And of course, once he gets there, he's even more determined not to be impressed: too many books, too many topics, and OF COURSE HE USES HIS QUIET VOICE!. Mouse is discouraged and agrees to head home, but the library storyteller saves the day with an excellent book about a brave bear and some pickles. Cute and sarcastic addition to my growing collection of storytime books about going to the library.
Two Little Birds
Mary Newell DePalma
ISBN: 9780802854216
A beautiful and peaceful mix of painting and collage illustrates a gentle and nonfiction narrative of two orchard orioles from the Northeastern US across the country and the ocean to the Yucatan, and then back. Beautifully told, and the little birdies are so expressive. An author's note at the end explains their migration, and reminds readers and listeners to care for nature.
