"The more that you read,
the more things you will know.
The more that you learn,
the more places you'll go."

Puddles
by Jonathan London

"Big ones, little ones, long ones, skinny ones—pieces of sky on the ground."

A delightful picture book about a brother and sister enjoying the delights of a world all wet after a night of rain. With coats and boots, they go outside and discover tiny rivulets to launch boats, worms, frogs, mud, and puddles. Onomatopoeia words emphasize the sounds of the storm and the sounds of playing in the mud and puddles ("splash" "squish"). A fun story with descriptive language that children can relate to. A perfect book to introduce Spring.

Apples and Robins
by Lucie Felix

An absolute treasure!

All you need for apples . . . are circles and the color red. In this extraordinary book, one thing transforms into another as each page turns—a circle becomes an apple, an oval becomes a bird, winter becomes spring. Constantly surprising and brilliantly constructed, Lucie Félix's Apples and Robins is full of the magic of shape, color, and imagination. All you need to do . . . is turn the page.
