Read in Monday Book Babies
By Delphine Chedru
Thames & Hudson, 2018. Picture Book.
Young readers count and blow air kisses to their friends, pets, grandparents, and more with this delightfully interactive book. Following a classic counting technique until readers reach the number ten, the book then takes wild jumps up to 17, 64, 823, and finally “millions,” prompting a riotous explosion of kisses from the reader. By encouraging the child to physically interact with the book, reading becomes a game that celebrates all the things a child loves in life. Illustrated in color throughout. --Publisher

The Thingamabob
By Il Sung Na
Alfred A. Knopf, 2008. Picture Book.
One day, he found the thingamabob. He had no idea what it was or where it came from. . . . So begins the story of a curious elephant and a mysterious red object. But what is it?! When none of his friends can tell him, the little elephant decides to experiment. He thinks: Maybe I can fly with it? (Maybe not.) Maybe I can sail in it? (Maybe not.) Maybe I can hide behind it? (Maybe not.) Nothing seems to work, until big drops of rain begin to fall. The little elephant does not want to get wet. Luckily, with the thingamabob (an umbrella), he does not need to get wet!
With bright, adorable illustrations and a simple, playful text, Il Sung Na captures the excitement of making—and sharing—an unexpected discovery. --Publisher
