Around this time of year, we start looking for that perfect graduation gift book! That's what I thought when I first read through this rhyming picture book! The narrative is general, but the illustrations tell the story of a penguin who grows up surrounded by other animals who care about him and send him off to a life across the ocean. It's super sweet and would make a great read-aloud from parent to child upon the occasion of a graduation. The inside front cover also has a "to. . " and "from . . " space for signing. (From HarperCollins).
Opening Day was a month or so ago, but I still want to share this picture book biography of Yogi Berra. His famous quotes are used as page headings in a really clever way, and the front and back covers are so well designed. You feel as if you are standing in close proximity to this baseball great. Engaging and inviting, you don't have to be a baseball fan to love this book. (From Boyds Mills & Kane)
Here are some other books I am reading right now:
I will be blogging about Pie in the Sky this week as it publishes on May 14th! I've recommended it to my librarian friends, and cant stop thinking about it.
