Picture Book Review


 Something Old: Shy Little Kitten's Secret Place by Jim Lawrence; illustrated by Keenan Jones- Shy Little Kitten's Secret Place has a special way of entertaining readers, while at the same time being sensitive to the needs of children and showing them the courage they all have in finding a place where they can be themselves. It is a perfect Little Golden Book Land classic to share with the little ones in your life. 
Something New: This Is Our House by Hyewon Yum- This Is Our House is a beautiful story that celebrates family. In her words and art, Hyewon Yum captures the growth and changes of one family, sharing the wonderful memories that were made in one house. A house that became so much more--for it became a very special home. This is Our House is a great new read for all families.





 Something Borrowed: My Grandpa by Marta Altes- My Grandpa is a sweet story that illustrates what it is like to watch a grandparent grow old. It is a compassionate tale as seen through the eyes of a child which provides comfort to readers and shares how we should love and enjoy all stages of life.
Something Blue: Sleep Little Angel by Margaret Wise Brown; illustrated by Stephen Gulbis- Stephen Gulbis' illustrations bring to life one of the "hidden treasures" of Margaret Wise Brown. The pictures are a perfect companion to this sweet bedtime lullaby that celebrates the everlasting love for our Little Angels throughout all the seasons of the year.
