Mouse listens to the sounds of Halloween with trepidation but soon finds out that they are everyday objects and friends. Perfect to read-aloud for the younger crowd with fun sound effects throughout. Can skip items if the crowd is squirrely.

Another success, Tullet shows how to make a true and unique interactive picture book. Best read one-on-one but can be attempted to read aloud. Bravo!
Religion: Christianity
Pretty heavy-handed in Christianity, but so was John Lewis' life. The illustrations were meh but the story would make an excellent read-aloud in bible school.

An interesting premise of a viral disease called Dragonscale that engulfs the world's population while a group of well-doers learn to control its flammable properties.

When they started being able to control the fire and see through their fire projectiles, it veered from scifi to fantasy. A little jarring but I went along with it.

A famous storyteller in his land, Rashid becomes heartbroken and drained of stories when his wife runs away with their next-door neighbor. The night before another speaking event that Rashid is sure to bomb, him and his son, Haroun, are whisked away to another world where stories are kept and cared for. But something tragic has been happening to the stories as a poisonous darkness descends upon the sea where they are kept.
From the perspective of 12-year-old Haroun, Rushdie takes us on a wonderfully descriptive and magical adventure that blends fantasy with Haroun's real world.

Updated photographs (not those same photos from the 90s that we've been seeing for 20 years) depict a wide variety of children displaying friendship. While the text is perfect for reading aloud, the photographs are a bit too small to read to a group larger than 8 unless you are able to project it onto a screen.

Two androgynous worms want to tie the knot and are happy to accommodate their friends' wishes to make the ceremony "how it's always been done." A happy take on a nontraditional wedding to add diversity to the wedding picture books.

At the end, they both dress up as the bride and the groom and Cricket declares "That isn't how it's always been done." They simply reply "Then we'll just change how it's done."

Britt posits a self-reflective and simple question: Why am I me and not someone else? Great to spark discussion in the classroom or with your child about what makes them distinct and special while realizing the specialness in others.
