A picture book by Jimmy Fallon and Jennifer Lopez, a second starred transitional reader for Melissa Iwai, and four DVDs are some of November's starred reviews.

The popularity of manga continued to increase in 2022, which enabled manga publishers to launch an array of new series, some in familiar genres and others that go in unexpected directions.

From the 200-plus audiobooks with November 2021 to October 2022 publication dates considered, two picture books, a family history in verse, remade fairy tales, an intertwined podcast, and a haven’t-ever-heard-that-before double recording are among this year’s outstanding listens.

These excellent albums have styles that will appeal to children and adults and include a wide variety of songs that can be used in story times, library programs, or just riding around in the car.
