Picture Book Review: Outdoor Fun

 

The weather is so close to be amazing. I'm ready for sunshine and warmth. I want to play outside. 

Here are a few picture books about being outside.

Scaredy Squirrel doesn't like camping but he must find an electrical outlet - which means going outside!

This was super funny - I loved the jokes. I also loved the different forms in the books - the maps, the diagrams, and the rules. And of course the unexpected thing happens! Also s'mores!

Millie moves to a new city - where she misses nature and gardens. She wants to plan a garden on the roof of their school. The whole class and community comes together to make this idea a reality.

A great garden book about how the whole school comes together with lessons. I loved the idea of Millie putting down her own roots in the community. A great outdoor book and finding yourself.

A goat plants a garden when a rabbit comes along pretending to be friends. 

Lots of veggie puns! Information about gardens and new friendships. I loved the illustrations in this one. All around fantastic!

Series Spotlight: Fox and Rabbit

 

Fox and Rabbit are good friends who have adventures together. One is adventurous and one is a little bit anxious - but they make the perfect pair. Book 2 is all about fall. Book 3 is all about a birthday celebration. 

These graphic novels are all about friendship. Sometimes turtle gets the short end of the stick - which is sad. There are funny moments, kind moments, and moments where the friends ask for help. They make new friends and have moments of jealousy.  The illustrations are super cute. This series are feel good reads for readers of all ages.

Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for your school and public libraries

* Book 3 is up for a Cybils Award
