Picture Book Review: Books in Years

Recently I read two books that take place over the course of the year and talk about nature. Both were fun reads.

Anna and Benjamin's family move into a new house with a large backyard. They're excited to plant, garden, and watch things grow all year around. They have lots of fun, find new friends, and learn so much about nature.

This book is perfect for older readers. It's chock full of information about gardening (flowers, vegetables, and fruits) and nature. 

Mouse is very cozy in the woods where each month bring something different to share.

I loved this book - for the cozy aspect of the woods. I loved seeing inside animal's houses - although the cutouts make this not a library friendly book. The illustrations are gorgeous. And there's a small game where you can look for nature on each page.

Picture Book Wednesday: Home Alone

What do your pets do all day when you're gone? 

This funny book is perfect for readers who enjoyed Secret Life of Pets. Frido has quite the adventurous day. Lots of puns with the illustrations! Readers will get a kick out of this book!

Review: Pop-Up Earth

 

This is a super fun book to read and timely with Earth Day this week.

This book contains 5 pop-ups.

The first one talks about the beginnings to Earth and the different layers

Others talk about: life under water, volcanoes,  biodiversity, and Earth's long life.

The pop-ups are fantastic and detailed. Plus the side bars give interesting information. This is not a book for your library's collection but instead a book to pour over with family or friends.
