Picture Book Review: Our Pool

A family is headed to the pool for the day - the community has come together to hang out and play. 

I love how this book celebrates the entire community - people with different bodies and skin types. You can feel the heat of the summer sun, and it makes me jealous. I long to be there in that pool. There's lots of vocabulary to share and talk about. There is the perfect ending to a fun day.

Bedtime Picture and Board Books

 

Just a few recent additions to the library with bedtime books:

Leo's had a busy day and know it's time for bed.

This is a sweet board book about Leo's bedtime routine - complete with bath time, snuggles, and a story. The illustrations are charming. One to read over and over again. A beautiful addition to this series.

As the moon rises, the animals know it's time for bed.

This is a sweet story about how animals know it's time for bed. I love the talk about all the habitats. I love the soft squishy moon. I love the wonderful illustrations. Another book to read over and over again. 

10 kisses before bedtime for all the kiddos.

This is a sweet story about all different types of families - and everyone gets kisses before bedtime. It's also a touch and feel book - lots of textures here. 

Lily is ready for bed - but Milo isn't.

He has so many things to do before going to sleep. It's fun watching Milo get ready for bed and help him choose when he has a hard time making decisions. 

Sleepy Sheepy is NOT tired!

The poor parents aren't quite sure what to do with this non-sleepy sheep. This is a funny story that will resonate with parents and kiddos. 

Picture Book Review: Sounds like School Spirit

Another great book that I'm going to read for my Kindergarten Storytime later this week.

A call and response book all about school and the community inside. I loved the day to day moments. The illustrations contain bright colors and the book is filled with diverse characters. Definitely one to share!

Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for your school and public libraries!

Picture Book Review: Vampenguin

The Vampire Family heads to the zoo where they have an interesting encounter with the Penguin Family.

If you're not read for Halloween to be finished, this is a fun vampire and penguin story. Lots of fun, lots of animals, and great illustrations. This is sure to please readers of all ages. And it's great for a storytime.

Library Recommendation: Highly Recommended for your library collection.
