Picture Book Review

Something Old: Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh- Mouse Paint is a wonderfully simple story that accomplishes so much in so few words. It is educational, entertaining, and nothing short of picture book brilliance.
Something New:  The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt; illustrated by Oliver Jeffers- Daywalt and Jeffers are a perfect team in creating a perfectly unique story that inspires the imagination in its readers. It is amusing, amazing, and most definitely earns "an A+ for creativity!"
Something Borrowed:  Pet the Cat and His Magic Sunglasses by Kimberly and James Dean- Pete certainly is one cool cat, especially in his COOL, BLUE, MAGIC sunglasses. In this tale, Pete is his usual entertaining self, and encouraging as well, as he opens readers' eyes to seeing the day in a whole new way.

 
Something Blue: If I Could Keep You Little by Marianne Richmond- In her words and art, Marianne Richmond has captured the thoughts of parents and loved ones everywhere on what it feels like to experience their little ones "growing into who they're meant to be." It is a charming read-aloud for you and your little one.
