Hmm. I checked and this book was first published in 2008, but it feels like one of those touchy feely books that was so popular 40 years prior to that.
I loved the illustrations. They make this a beautiful book. Even the slightly unusual shape of the book makes it a stunner.
I think I was...

The acclaimed interactive picture book about the changing seasons. “Like Hervé Tullet’s Press Here, Matheson’s Tap the Magic Tree proves you don’t need apps for interactivity,” praised the New York Times.

A rhyming bear book, which some rhymes I have seen in other bear books. But the illustrations were cute. And the emotions of the mouse will be fun to read aloud. The best part is the end! Almost an entire star for that ending. Must read in storytime--could work in toddler and preschool.

After a chilly third rescue, exasperated Foxy and grumbly polar bear Captain PB realize their...
I would recommend this book for the primary grades, second through third grade. I would categorize this book as modern fantasy.
This is a great book to introduce before fall. It does a phenomenal job at showing the beautiful colors of the leaves, and reinforcing the changes that nature goes...

Here We Are: Notes for Living on Planet Earth
SO Sweet! A father’s story explaining his world when his child is 2 months old.
I love this book. It does the macrocosm all the way to the day to day, not quite microcosm. It is powerful to show how small this little planet is in all that space and then when you see all the diversity and wonders on...
