One Little Monster
By Mark Gonyea
Aladdin, 2018. Picture Book.
A sleep deprived kid creates monsters of his own to banish the ones that are keeping him awake in this fiendishly funny picture book that’s the perfect counting and bedtime story.
In graphic artist and designer Mark Gonyea’s clever counting book, a little boy snuggles in for a nap, but much to his surprise, silly little monsters pop up wherever he looks. First there’s one at the window, then two appear when he blinks, and three pop out when one of the monsters sneezes. Before he knows it, there are ten kooky creatures in his room. But will the little boy find a way to outsmart those pesky pests? --Publisher

Is 2 a Lot?
Written by Annie Watson
Illustrated by Rebecca Evans
Tilbury House Publishers, 2019. Picture Book.
Two is not a lot of pennies, but it is a lot of smelly skunks. Ten is not a lot of popcorn pieces, but it is a lot of chomping dinosaurs. One thousand is not a lot of grains of sand, but it is a lot of hot air balloons! While Joey’s mom explains the context of numbers in vivid ways, Joey’s imagination transforms their ordinary car ride into a magical odyssey through a land of make-believe.
Is 2 a Lot? is a wonderfully charming and authentic exchange between mother and child. Annie Watson’s story makes numbers tangible, and Rebecca Evans’s illustrations bring them to life.
