Favorite New Picture Books
by Stacey
Over the summer, I wrote about our return to picture books. I am so glad that we remembered that sometimes there is nothing better to do than sit down and read a few books.
Here are a few of latest favorites…
Ball by Mary Sullivan. Ball is an ingenious book about a girl, her dog and a ball, told all with one word. A fun read aloud and a perfect Read Together book.
Black Dog by Levi Pinfold. Black Dog starts with the line, “One day, a black dog came to visit the Hope family.” While this seems like a pretty simple start, Black Dog is actually a tale with pretty big questions.
Hello, My Name is Ruby by Phillip C. Stead. Hello, My Name is Ruby tells the story of a little bird in this big, big world as she searches for a friend.
Secret Pizza Party by Adam Rubin. Secret Pizza Party is a laugh out loud story of a raccoon in search of a pizza. A weird premise for sure but a super fun read.
Yay! I loved your last round of suggestions. I’ll be adding these to our library request list!
Yeah Sarah! So glad that you are enjoying picture books too!
Lovely selection! And today, as luck would have it, I’m getting to meet Levi Pinfold (at a librarians’ conference)
Hi Zoe!! It was so lovely to see your name pop up in my e-mail! And how lucky you are to be meeting Levi Pinfold- I thought this book was just brilliant. This time of year makes me think of our Cybils conversations. I’m not participating this year. Are you?
these look delicious. Will be heading to VA soon and will have to plan a trip to the library!!! keep ’em coming.
Yeah! Say his to you VA family for me and let me know what they are reading these days!
Every single one of these looks so very good, Stacey. I like to get picture books as baby gifts, especially when I know the baby already has a ton of stuff for the first year. I know what I’m getting my daughter’s dance instructor’s new baby now!
