Also reading a middle-grade book called “The Spindlers.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No top picks in this bunch.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jangles A Big Fish Story by David Shannon: Interesting premise.<\/p>\n

Goldilocks and the Three Dinosaurs by Mo Willems: Typical Mo silliness.<\/p>\n

Each Kindness by Jacquelin Woodson: Not really sure how this got published. Not much of a story arc, the end seems truncated. Vaguely unsatisfying and totally preachy. Not sure a child would sit still for the entire reading. And then there is the art which is by E.B. Lewis. Beautiful but can’t carry the story on its own.<\/p>\n

Captain Buckleboots and the Naughty Step by Mark Sperring: What happens in time out from the kid’s POV. Nice flow, fun art.<\/p>\n

Earl the Squirrel by Dan Freeman: Another take on the “I like me” theme. Intersting use of black and white with minimal color in the illustations.<\/p>\n

The Man Who Walked Between the Towers by Mordicai Gerstein: A Twin Towers non-fiction that won a Caldecott.<\/p>\n

No Zombies Allowed by Matt Novack: This one was kind of cute.<\/p>\n
