Top picks:<\/p>\n

Because Amelia Smiled<\/strong> – a nice story with fun art they comes full circle back to Amelia and her smile.<\/p>\n

Tell Me About Your Day Today<\/strong> – the story was rather simplistic in the text, but the art made up for it by having many layers in the story telling via illustration.<\/p>\n

The Firekeeper’s Son<\/strong> – I like this one because of the multicultural aspect of the Korean myth\/historic retelling of the story. Nicely done art that matches the story.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

Goldilocks and Just One Bear<\/strong> – taking the three bears tale into the future after Goldi and the baby bear have grown up. I found it a bit forced at the ending.<\/p>\n

No!<\/strong> – story about a troublesome dog who thinks his name is no because his people keep saying it. Didn’t do anything for me one way or the other.<\/p>\n

Can I Bring Wooly to the Library, Ms. Reeder? –<\/strong> Cute concept that stopped being funny about halfway through the book. I liked the silliness of the illustrations.<\/p>\n

The Best Book to Read<\/strong> – Children visit the local library and all go home with the best book for each.<\/p>\n

The Wide-Awake Princess<\/strong> – An older book. I liked the story, the art looked amateurish and the ending fell flat.<\/p>\n

The Jungle Baseball Game<\/strong> – An older book. I picked this one up since it has a similar theme to a WIP to see how the art was handled. Fun story, good for boys. Art is humorous as well.<\/p>\n

Blueberries for the Queen<\/strong> – historical fiction. A straight forward story with illustrations that follow their own story line based on the main character’s imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
