Picture Book Review: Books for Memorial Day

Just a few new to the library books:

It's not just the soldier that serves; it's the whole family. This book showcases different soldiers and their family - what they do when they serve and what happens on the homefront while the soldiers are gone. 

The message here is that everyone is strong and everyone has a mission. Everyone serves. The illustrations are lovely. There's so much here to share and talk about. 

One Veteran takes a trip to Washington D.C. as part of a special tour from the Honor Flight Network.

 This book showcases several war monuments and shares that not all Veterans were welcomed home. There's a lovely surprise at the end of the flight. I won't lie, this book made me ugly cry. It's emotional and heartfelt. 

If you or your family served, thank you for your service. 

Picture Book Wednesday: Agent Lion

There's a missing cat! Agent Lion is called to the house to solve the cat. But things don't go as the owners wish. They're not sure that Agent Lion really is the best detective for the case. The questions he asks are SO strange! Plus he's always hungry, even though he just ate. Can Agent Lion find Fluffy and save the day?

I really liked this funny charming picture book. I loved the illustrations. I love how this introduces young readers to the mystery genre. I know this is a book that I will be handing out to a bunch of littles.
