By Taro Gomi
Chronicle Books, 2016.  Picture Book.

In this quiet book of wonder, a child stands at ocean's edge and contemplates what might be on the other side.  From big farms to tall buildings, other kids, and beautiful stars, the possibilities are abundant.  Deep, rich colors and simple lines create perfectly detailed, yet uncomplicated, illustrations.  A wonderful pick to inspire imaginative thought.

G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1986.  Picture Book.

"Princess Smartypants did not want to get married.  She enjoyed being a Ms."  She loved her castle, her pets, and her motorbike.  But all of the princes (and her parents) had other ideas.  The princess agreed to allow her suitors to win her hand in marriage, but none of them could complete the tasks she gave them...that is, until Prince Swashbuckle arrived.  He may have won the magic kiss, but he also got more than he bargained for!

HarperCollins, 1998.  Picture Book.

Pete is not happy.  He wants to play outside with his friends, but it's raining.  So Pete's dad decides to make him into a pizza!  He kneads him, stretches him, and adds oil (water), flour (powder), tomatoes (checkers), and cheese (pieces of paper).  A fun game played by parents and child chases away the grumpies and passes the time until the sun is shining again.  This is a fun for kids who enjoy silly books and love to laugh!

Hyperion Books for Children, 2014.  Picture Book.

Pigeon is filthy.  Pigeon is so dirty that even the flies tell him to take a bath.  Well Pigeon just can't get that tub the way he wants it, what with all the hot and cold water, and toys, and such. Oh, but once he's in, he loves it!  A great read for little ones who are hesitant to bathe (or are stubbornly refusing!).  Willems' humor and artistic talent shine yet again.

Review: The House with Nobody in It

By
  The House with Nobody in It By Jon Klassen Somerville, Massachusetts: Candlewick Press, 2026. Board Book.  The House with Nobody in It may very well be your child's first ghost story. The simple story begins with the narrator explaining to readers that this house used to have someone in it, but there is now nobody there. Toddlers and preschoolers will love contradicting this statement as they peek through the house that the board book forms, as the ghost is clearly visible throughout the story.  This unique and imaginative board book is the perfect thing to read during Halloween season! The book itself plays into the experience, with cutouts and clever turns that make it especially interactive. The illustrations are superb, simple but well crafted, adding to the story's theme as a whole. This will likely be a book that gets many repeat reads!
