Not Friends

Rebecca Bender | FICTION, Aug 01, 2017

With so much negative energy, the message about working at friendship gets lost, and the story fails to offer any kind of examples of getting along or compromising. An additional purchase.

Warcross

Marie LU | FICTION, Aug 01, 2017

An enticing first purchase for YA collections, especially where Lu's other books and science fiction are popular.

Vampirina at the Beach

Anne Marie PACE | BOOKS, Jul 01, 2017

Perfect for existing fans of Vampirina and newcomers to this feisty character and her nocturnal world. A sublime seasonal storytime selection.

Princess Pistachio and Maurice the Magnificent

Marie-Louise GAY | FICTION, Jul 01, 2017

The child appeal of this tale will keep independent reders chuckling and wanting more; a strongly recommended purchase.

Invisible Lizard

Kurt CYRUS | FICTION, Jul 01, 2017

This amusing, heartwarming tale will appeal to a wide audience and would also make a great read-aloud addition to a friendship- or rain forest—themed storytime. Highly recommended.

Caps for Sale and the Mindful Monkeys

Esphyr SLOBODKINA & Ann Marie Mulhearn Sayer | FICTION, Jul 01, 2017

This title does not have quite the streamlined plot and wit of its predecessor, but enough of the genius of Caps for Sale shines through to make it a treat for children and adults who want to reunite with the peddler and his naughty monkeys for a new adventure. Purchase where the classic is popular.

A Pattern for Pepper

Julie KRAULIS | FICTION, Jul 01, 2017

Although the narrow focus on textiles may limit the audience, the story will likely appeal to young readers with an interest in patterns, design, or fashion and might just inspire some new makers to try their hand at sewing and design. An additional purchase.
