Laundry Day
Laundry Day by Maurie J. Manning. Laundry Day falls somewhere between a graphic novel and a picture book, with a comic book-style layout of cells in a picture book size and target age. Our hero is a little shoeshine boy … Continue reading
The Microscope
I just counted. Right now, I have seven library books at home waiting to be read, six reviews waiting to be written, and six books on hold. I hope they won’t all come in at once, though the pile at … Continue reading
The Amazing Adventures of Bumblebee Boy
The Amazing Adventures of Bumblebee Boy by David Soman and Jacky Davis. When Ladybug Girl first came out a few years ago, I loved it, but the premise of a preschooler left out by her older siblings needing to come … Continue reading
The Astonishing Secret of Awesome Man
Thanks to my colleague S. for pointing out this one! Also, I’m trying a bigger picture size to see if Pinterest will see it. Let me know if it makes things too slow to load for you. The Astonishing Secret … Continue reading

Hannukah for Wee Ones
My favorite Hanukkah book for years has been Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins. I’ll happily pull it out and read it to whoever wants to listen every year. As I noted in my review, though, it’s really too wordy for … Continue reading
Pocketful of Posies
Pocketful of Posies by Salley Mavor. I recently reviewed Salley Mavor’s book Felt Wee Folk, and discovered this book in the process. This is her latest effort, a collection of nursery rhymes illustrated with her signature felt and found object … Continue reading
The Twelve Dancing Princesses
So far, my series on The Twelve Dancing Princesses has focused on novel-length retellings. I love novel retellings, but I also love picture-book versions of fairy tales. Picture books have a few important differences from novel-length retellings. There is the … Continue reading
