SAMMY FEELS SHY
by Tom Percival
What if the embarrassment we feel on the inside was bright enough for everyone to see? Yikes! Sammy feels like a neon sign but finds new confidence while helping a friend face fears of their own.

❤️ this new release! Emily is so earnest in her mission to find a place where she is not too short, too loud or likely to be eaten by tigers. Funny, imaginative & thought-provoking.

THE PRINCESS AND THE (GREEDY) PEA

Fun new PB with a cumulative structure. Think “There Was an Old Woman…” with a fairy tale twist.
A very hungry pea causes chaos in the castle and a surprise princess curveball!

FIREWORKS!
@matthewburgessj.bsky.social & #CátiaChien
Finally got a copy and oh my goodness it is lovely! So immersive in the heat, sights and sounds of the city in July. And have to agree with
#TheYarnPodcast it has the world’s greatest page fold. ❤️
#kidlit
Friend of mine once declared in a staff meeting, “I chose this job because they said there would be no math!”
😆 I share her skillset (or lack thereof) which is why I am posting Day 44 and 46 today!
Should be the slogan for my little mission: “I ❤️ books.
Not so good at numbers.”

THE GIFT OF WORDS by @peterhreynolds.bsky.social
I related to Jerome’s search for inspiring words, but only finding cold, unhappy, impatient ones. Joyful reminder that we can make the world a better place with our words of hope, peace and love.

MAMA CAR
Lucy Catchpole & Karen George
Love the way this story lets us see a parent’s wheelchair through a child’s eyes. It’s an object of fun, practical transportation and, most importantly, a place of comfort on Mama’s lap.

I ❤️ the contrast of serious and wacky.

THIS IS NOT A SLEEPY BEAR BOOK
Brian Gehrlein & Jennifer Harney
Only so much Owl can do to help Bear get ready for a long winter’s nap. The DJ and 10-piece drum set are definitely NOT helping. Hilarious twist on classic bedtime stories!

Me too! They handed out free T-shirts and applications at our football games.

HANSEL AND GRETEL
@StephenKing.bsky.social and Maurice Sendak
After King’s adult novel Fairy Tale, tackling the Brother’s Grimm seems right up his alley! This traditional retelling compliments Sendak’s equally Grimm-esque art.

Candace Fleming & Eric Rohmann
Excited to see Fleming honored at #ALAyma last week! I love the cast of characters and surprising hero in this 2012 PB. Funny, clever and classic tale of a hungry tiger and the animals who don’t want to be its lunch!
