Why in the world can George not bark? George's mother finally gets to the bottom of his predicament in a fun, surprising way.

This would be a wonderful oversized book for the classroom. This yoga nonfiction book excels on three levels: the poses are easy to do for children, the illustrations are clear and easy to replicate, and the text is short and simple, with an accompanying poem to describe how to do the pose. Furthermore, the author and illustrator provide a two-page spread of the 12 yoga poses at the end to show the whole flow sequence. Finally, the reader is given a visualization exercise called "How I want to feel today" to end a very pleasant, useful, and well executed book.

The illustrations are top notch. I love Ellis' art style, especially in this book, that provides realistic illustrations of objects with the slightly abstract illustrations of people. And like the illustrations, the homes themselves are a blend of realistic dwellings and fantastic abodes. The vocabulary is simple but with wonderfully unique (but not excessive) additions such as "wigwam" and Slovakian duchess." And the hidden brownie underneath the ice cream (cause candied cherries are gross and we need to admit that as a society if we are ever to progress) is Ellis' invitation to imagine who lives in some of the homes.

Shapes, Days of the week
A smooth flowing, brightly portrayed life of the square. At first happy with its life, the square is cut, torn, shredded, shattered, snipped, and wrinkled each day of the week. Each alteration, the square takes a new form to make a fountain, mountain, garden, etc. On Sunday, nothing happens and feeling confined by his perfect sides the square takes it upon himself to change.
This picture book for babies and toddlers encompasses many early literacy components, including days of the week, shapes, and new vocabulary. It also includes a young child's early experiences including change, expectations, and initiation.

Another winner from Norman! Grandma and Grandpa make their way across the landscape encountering a variety of vehicles. She has such a wonderful flow to her songbooks that are original and bouncy with a fun play on phonological awareness.

A perfect opportunity for caregivers to engage with their young children. With sparse text and bold, attractive artwork, Mouse tells of his unexpected adventures with Rabbit. Fortunately or not, wherever he goes, trouble follows.
It would be wonderful to have a big book in this.

A wonderful exploration of our world through the letters of the alphabet. Within each capital letter are 30-35 objects that start with that letter, encouraging child and parent alike to identify common and unusual things. In addition, the objects are slightly raised from the page, encouraging tracing the letters and feeling the dimensions of the letter--an excellent pre-writing skill.

Similar to The Silver Button, Graham explores various cultures around the world as he charts the progress of one item. This time, we follow the sun as its light touches various parts of the world until it reaches Coco's room. Graham's minimal text holds such lyrical wonder, especially evident in the curiously inviting first sentence: "It had to start somewhere." For such a conceptual idea (the sun came from somewhere else before it entered your bedroom) Graham achieves it while opening up dialogue and provocation to search for more in-depth scientific answers.

A delightful puzzle game as listeners attempt to find Walrus and Penguin as they blend in to avoid the zoo keeper. The ending skews adorable.
