My Toothbrush Is Missing 
Jan Thomas
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2018. Easy Reader.

Someone nabbed Dog’s toothbrush. Dog asks if anyone has seen it. Donkey, Sheep, and Duck have no idea where it could be. Then Donkey asks what it looks like. Dog explains and Donkey mistakenly finds various objects that it could be after explaining, “Weird. I feel like I’ve seen it…” From the comical reactions of the Giggle Gang (Sheep and Duck just get more and more flabbergasted when Donkey mistakenly presents various objects) to the climax and discovery of just what happened to Dog’s toothbrush this book will keep young early readers giggling. So. Much. Fun. I really think this book should win a comedy award. And the Geisel for next year. It is just that good. Please excuse me while I go and read it to another unsuspecting library staff member who just needs to laugh at this book(even if they don’t know it yet…).

Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin

By loo
Faces of the Moon by Bob Crelin Illustrated by Leslie Evans Charlesburg; 2009; unpaged Faces of the Moon is a short nonfiction book that describes the different phases of the moon and why the moon appears like it does on certain nights. This book is short and sweet so even the youngest of moon lovers will enjoy it. The layout is simplistic and easy to follow. I don’t know much about the moon so I found it very interesting.
