New Picture Books

Librarian Recommended

Roger just wants some peace and quite while he reads his book, but his neighbor, Emily, has some loud hobbies. These include bouncing a ball, playing a drum, singing, and juggling!  This is a really sweet and funny story that begs to be read aloud. Recommended for PreK-Gr2.

This picture book follows a fox as he travels in a rainstorm from the very first drip to the rainbow at the end. Along the way, he splashes, sploshes, and squishes through the puddles. Both the fox and the storm become more frantic as time goes by. In addition to being a beautiful picture book, this is a great book to teach onomatopoeia. Recommended for PreS-Gr 1

Do you know opposites? Sometimes opposites depend on your point of view. Go on a topsy-turvy fun-house journey into the concept of opposites with an elephant and his friend.
