Board Books


Just a few more new to the library and to me board books

What do animals like to eat? This book features several animals and the snacks they enjoy. The illustrations are a mix of photos and clip art. 

This cute board book is a great introduction to Star Wars by showcasing the characters. 



These two board books are perfect for the IRead Summer Reading theme. 
The flower book shares many different types of flowers while the gardening book shares both plants and animals/insects you might find in the garden. 
Both have charming illustrations that are great to pour over and look at all the details. 

This is a fantastic board book about bodies and mental health and self-love. Such wonderful messages in this book.

Another book for summer reading's garden theme. The caterpillar is sharing who he sees in the garden. The touch and feel illustrations and the action prompts make this a fun read.

Board Books: Spring and Garden Books



Just a few board books for Spring:
Spring is here and it's a gorgeous day to play outside. The animals are having so much fun, and the barn keeps them all cozy. I love the illustrations in this book. 


The life cycle of a tree starting with a squirrel burying an acorn. 

It's a very informative and simple book that poses a question that is then answered. Great for curious minds.

Lots of information in this book - perfect for sharing vocabulary. 

I love the step-by-step pages on how to grow a plant inside. I adore the illustrations; they are magical. 

This touch and feel book is cute - with four friends the caterpillar spies in the garden.

I love how this book asks questions. Even though it's a short book, there's a lot for the reader and caregiver to talk about. 

Eight animal friends are in the garden and each of them are doing something. 

This is a great book to talk about animals and their habits. As each of the animal is doing something: stretching, hiding, flying..., this is a great movement book too. The illustrations are bright and cheerful.  I'm looking forward to reading this during summer storytimes at the library.


This book details how to grow and garden and shows off some animals from the garden.

I love the photographs in this book. There is a lot of interaction with this book, making it also good for storytime reading. 

This book talks about indoor plants and shares lots of information.

I love the illustrations, they're stunning and charming. This is a very cozy read. 
I loved the first book so much, I bought the rest of the series for the library. And they're perfect for this year's summer theme. 

This is a larger board book with charming illustrations and a lovely story about four friends who come together to grow a garden - but they also have gardens where they live. 

There are so many types of gardens in this book and so much information. 

These books are perfect for the smallest readers at your life for spring and gardening, but especially for this year's Plant a Seed summer reading theme. I'm quite looking forward to warmer sunnier weather.
