library find

Here is another great library find that we loved. Extra Yarn, by Mac Barnett and illustrated wonderfully by Jon Klassen. The colors are gorgeous in this book and the story is sweet and simple.

Oliver Jeffers is one of my favorite children's book authors/illustrators. His stuff is brilliant. Yesterday on our latest library adventure, we discovered his most recent release, STUCK. The story follows a boy who is trying to solve an ever growing problem by throwing things at it. The boys loved it and we will definitely be a purchasing it for our personal library. Check it out immediately!

latest book finds

Here are our latest favorite finds at the library.

For Cash I found "Where's Walrus?" by Stephen Savage. There are no words, and the pages follow a great story about a walrus that escapes from the zoo and camouflages into the scenery on each page as the zoo keeper tries to find him. The illustrations are simple and beautiful in color. We loved it.

For Jack I found "The boy who cried ninja" by Alex Latimer. I picked this up merely on how cool the illustrations were on the cover, but the story was fabulous too. It's about a little boy named Tim who keeps getting blamed for things that happen around the house even when he explains it was a ninja, or a time traveling monkey, or a sunburned crocodile. Then his parents discover he was telling the truth. Jack wants to read it every night.

Check them out next time you are at the library - they are good picks. You won't be disappointed.
