New Books for February 2017

Little Penguins

I love penguins already, and the cover of this book is so precious!  Don't you love the penguin stuck in the snow with his feet sticking out?  This book is wonderful for the younger crowd, and it takes you outside as the penguins go romping through the snow.  A delightful read for a snowy storytime.

Plant the Tiny Seed

I was so excited to see this book, and wasn't disappointed after I read it.  Everything is interactive, and each page requires you to do something to get the plants to bloom.  I plan on doing the same thing with this book as I have done with the author's other book "Tap the Magic Tree".  What I plan on doing is have tiny paper cut-outs of rain drops, seeds and flower petals.  After I read and have the kids do the actions that the book asks for, I will have the paper cut-outs rain down on the kids as it is raining inside the book.  Not only will the book be interactive, but this makes it even more fun for the kids.

Is That Wise, Pig?

This book is hilarious!  Pig is trying all throughout the book to add silly things to the soup, but he is stopped every time.  But there is a reason for all of this, and that's because all of his friends have come over to eat the soup!  I can't wait to read this funny book at my next soup or food storytime!

Bee

This book is truly gorgeous!  Each page has a beautiful rhyme, and the octagon that is surrounding the bee slowly disappears as you turn each page.  A wonderful addition to your spring or bug storytime.

Pete the Cat: Five Little Ducks

Who doesn't love Pete the Cat?  This is great take on the well-loved song that we all know.  I am very happy that this came in, because I have an animal countdown storytime coming up, and this will be perfect!

Dig In!

This board book is so precious!  The little mice are working all throughout the book to build something, but what is it?  Pizza, of course!  You can help all the construction vehicles move by turning the parts inside the book, which make it so much fun!

Vroom, Vroom, Trucks!

I love Karen Katz's lift-the-flap books and this one is perfect for SRP this year.  A great board book filled with lots of rumbling trucks!
