Bella's Fall Coat
Delicious verb pairs such as "twirled and whirled," "crinkled and crackled," and "picked and plucked" and outstanding illustrations make this offering a treat for eye and ear. A first choice for fall units.
Hand in Hand
This offering is a suitable gift for an expectant parent who might then use the object-filled endpapers as a vocabulary game after the little one arrives.
Monkey: Not Ready for the Baby
While this book doesn't break any new ground, it can still reassure youngsters who share Monkey's reluctance to welcome a new sibling. A solid addition with adorable illustrations.
My Hand
This simple, straightforward text provides an enjoyable way for youngsters to read body language and expressions while learning about hands. It is as much an exercise in visual literacy as it is a story. It is clever and engaging, but not particularly memorable.
Bella Up, Up, and Away
Although the text falls a bit flat, this friendship story is action-packed and might appeal to fans of the first book. An additional purchase.
Bear & Hare—Share!
This is a fine vehicle for discussing the value of sharing, and the simple declarative sentences make it perfect for beginning readers. Pair it with Susie Lee Jin's Mine for a lively storytime.
A Piece of Home
The lengthy text paints a realistic picture of difficulties faced by a family striving to make a new start, and the positive resolution is quietly satisfying. A solid addition for most collections.
A Brave Bear
The brief text and the message that bravery is simply carrying on in spite of failure make this a fine offering for youngsters just trying their wings.
