Picture Book Wednesday: Fatima's Great Outdoors

Fatima's going camping for the first time. She and her family has some mishaps, but in the end, everything turns out right. And Fatima imagines more trips, which makes her happy and full of hope.

Fatima has a hard time at school, so the trip allows her to relax and connect with her family. We can all relate to that. I enjoyed how her parents shared stories from their past in connection to camping adventures. A really sweet story with great illustrations.

Library Recommendation: High recommended for your school and public libraries.

Picture Book Wednesday: Where is Our Library?

 

The lions are puzzled when during their nighttime visit to the library, they discover all the books are gone! They're on a mission to undercover the truth about the missing books.

Patience and Fortitude enjoy a romp all over New York City. I enjoyed how they sought out answers and even more when they traveled to other branches of the NYPL system. I love how they love reading and discover new favorites and love old favorites. I love the artwork. Another winner in this series - and this reader desperately hopes for more books about these lions.

Library Recommendation: Highly recommended for school and public libraries - what library doesn't want a book about library and book loving lions?
