Yoh and Chang are in lockstep, creating a wonderful read-aloud about moving and family ties. Recommended for all collections, and especially those looking for more about Asian cultures and books about moving.
This illustrated look at the beauty of cycles and infinity is too muddled for most young readers. Better to try Suzanne Slade’s The Universe and You or the excellent anthology Poetry for Young People: Emily Dickinson.
This wannabe Warner Cartoon/MAD magazine mash-up is better suited for older teens who enjoy the animated series. For younger readers ready to move on from “Captain Underpants” and “Dogman,” offer them Frank Cammuso’s “Knights of the Lunch Table,” Ben Hatke’s “Mighty Jack” and “Zita the Spacegirl,” Jimmy Gownley’s The Dumbest Idea Ever, or Jennifer L. Holm’s “Sunny” series.
A visually beautiful introduction to water in our present world, this title might best be suited as a read-aloud introduction geared to inspiring discussion and brainstorming.
A highly recommended addition to any collection. Pair this book with Alexander Clavin’s Ruth and the Green Book for a real powerhouse introduction to this important part of our shared history.
This title belongs in most elementary nonfiction libraries. Pair it with Steve Jenkins’s The Animal Toolkit for a visually engaging experience about the creatures around us and how much we all have in common.
