I've been going through a phase of reading picture book biographies about women who were first in their fields, but are not as famous as they should be. This is another excellent one about that topic. Adelaide Herrmann was an excellent magician but she has been all but forgotten. This story will help introduce her to audiences and hopefully make lots of kids want to practice magic.

This was pretty cute! I found it slow to start and then it picked up nicely. I think, if you've got unicorn fans, this will be popular with them.

I liked this one. I felt judged a little bit (in a good way, like these are ways that I'm doing some stuff wrong and could be better) and I laughed a bit too. I look forward to reading more of Ajayi's work on her blog and email newsletter.

A cute story about a dog who has a perfect life until Betty comes. Anyone with a younger sibling can relate to that feeling, especially if they are prone to follow you around.

A good primer for Washington's teeth struggles, although I wonder if it were published more recently, it would elaborate more on the human teeth used for his dentures (aka, from slaves.)

A fun story about a musical family that goes over different musical instruments and styles of music.

The poems are cute enough, but some of the illustrations were creepy to me (the bloodhound in particular.)

Such a good book. Art is made in all kinds of ways, and it's a holiday I am happy to keep supporting at my library.

This was a fairly cute tale about a kid laying out the reasons for wanting an iguana. Slowly he wears down his mother and she decides that he can have it on a trial basis.
