New books for October (Part 1)

Here is the first batch of new books for this month!


Want to learn counting with the animals on the farm?  This is perfect!  The little cow plods along, counting all the way.  Adorable rhymes will help you, and the illustrations are so precious.


What a fun book!  This follows just like the book "Dear Zoo" but Christmas themed.  I plan on making a big version of this so that the kids can see it better.  What a great addition for Christmas!


This book is a great learning book about shapes.  The kids inside this book find a box of shapes and put together items that everyone will have fun telling you what they are.  When I use this, I plan on making a flannel to go along with it.


This is a wonderful interactive color book.  As you turn each page, an action is required to make something happen to each color.  For instance, when you tap the color yellow, it rains lemons and bananas on the next page!  I can't wait to use this during my next color storytime.


The adorable little black cat is back at it again!  All max wants to do is go to bed, but he can't find the moon and say goodnight.  Follow along as he tries his best to find the moon, looking high and low.  If you're not familiar with this adorable cat, check him out in his first book "Max the Brave".


What a wonderful, new book on manners.  The little girl in this book doesn't start by asking kindly for things.  When she does say please, the results are anything but what you expect!  The ending is wonderful, with a giant, yes a GIANT, appearing at the end.  A great book to use around Thanksgiving.


Another great color book, and the title says it all.  Beautiful black and white drawn animals have splashes of color added to them, along with a great rhyme accompanying them on each page.  Another winner to use during color storytime.


Ever wonder what a letter would read like from a dragon? This book is just the pick for you!  A little boy and a dragon become pen pals, but neither one realizes whom they are writing to.  The illustrations are utterly amazing, and the end reveals everyone meeting at the picnic, with a cute surprise between the two teachers. 


The author of "How to Train a Train" has done it again with this adorable truck book.  The little boy perched on the cover, hanging on to his shovel will steal your heart.  He leads you on a truck hunt, and you too can learn how to track and catch your own pet truck.  A great one for our 2017 SRP theme!


I am always looking for a new monster book, and this is perfect!  Each page opens up with a question and pictures to choose your answer from.  When you turn the page, the answer is revealed.  This is a good interactive book to use with the kids and have them tell you what monster would use. It would be fun to make a flannel to go with it too.

This book had me hooked by the cover of the big cat lurking behind the easel!  The mouse is teaching all of the little mice what is and isn't a cat.  But beware, here comes the cat!  I won't spoil the book, but you must check it out to see how it ends!


A really cute counting book, but may disturb some smaller readers.  All the little fish are swimming along, and you are counting along with them and the cute rhymes on each page.  Until you get to 10...and then you swallow the leader!  All the fish get eaten by the shark, but don't despair.  In a great and funny ending, the shark does burp up all of the cute little fish.  When I read this, I plan on having little fish cut out.  When the shark burps up fish, I will throw little paper fish on the kids, to make it more interactive.


The mischievous crayons are back at it again!  This time you have to help put all the missing crayons back inside the empty crayon box.  I am very excited to use our big flannelboard crayon box and crayons to go along with this cute story.
