(‘Battle Bunny,’ by Jon Scieszka and Mac Barnett - The New York Times)
Thanks to a clever book design, “Battle Bunny” has two layers of text: The first is the “Birthday Bunny” story, printed on each page as in an ordinary book. But most of the words of that story have been crossed out and replaced with handwritten ones, so that the old story is reconfigured to tell an entirely new one about a power-mad rabbit bent on destroying the world.

Count the Monkeys by Mac Barnett
You can try to count the monkeys, but you might wind up counting everything else instead! This interactive book would break the 4th wall if ever it cared enough to construct one. Enjoy the silliness!
Check the book out from LCPL
Tumblr media
This book builds:
Vocabulary: Is it mongooses or mongeese? Read the book to find out!
Narrative Skills: What do you think will happen next? This book is full of tricks!
Letter Knowledge: The book has large, clear font for easy letter/number recognition.
Print Awareness: This meta tale reinforces the mechanics of a book and the ways that kids interact with them.
Print Motivation: The book is playful and fun!
Reading this book will help kids practice reading, talking, writing (lots of find motor skills with this one), and playing (because it's SO silly!)
Extend the book with a counting activity!
This book is a bit of a cheat: your kids will get practice counting to 10, but NOT with the monkeys that were promised! Expand on this concept—and get in some counting practice—by making math silly. Try counting blocks. Try measuring height . . . in blocks!
How many blocks tall are you?
Tumblr media
How many blocks tall is the Sneetch?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
What about the tigers? Who is tallest?
If you're feeling really silly, you might try using blocks of different sizes.
Tumblr media
Look, the elephant is only four blocks high! But is the elephant really smaller than the tiger?

January 2023 Wrap Up
New Year and new books to read!
❤️ Loveless - Alice Oseman: my local library did an event with local teenagers for more (English) YA they should buy... and all the books by Alice Oseman were selected! :D I started the new year with a bang with this book and IT DID NOT DISSAPOINT! Soooo many feelings! Asexual representation hell yeah :D
Galatea - Madeline Miller (illustrations by Ambra Garlaschelli) - a short story from Greek Mythology by my beloved author Madeline Miller! also with beautiful drawings... I am a sucker for them.
❤️ Crumbs - Danie Stirling - Another book (graphic novel) that was selected by the local library YA event... and I was really surprised this book was not on my TBR yet... beautiful story, worldbuilding and graphics!
The Bookshop On The Shore - Jenny Colgan - second book in the Kirrinfief series... this time with lead characters Zoe and Hari. The ‘Book Hug’ I totally needed to end the christmas holidays.
Black Panther: A Nation Under Our Feet - Ta-Nehisi Coates (Vol. 1-3) The Black Panther comics by Ta-Nehisi Coates were a marvel to read. Lots of nods to or from the movies and the perfect follow up for the Wakanda Forever movie :)
❤️ I Wish You All The Best - Mason Deaver - Saw this one a while ago all over booklr so I picked it up upon seeing it in the YA section... It won over my heart from the first chapter!
The Wolf, The Duck and The Mouse - Mac Barnett & Jon Klassen: a funny picture book by the duo Barnett (author) and Klassen (illustrator). I was in love with this!

Totally Youthful Tuesday
Tumblr media
I just heard about this urban legend on a podcast, and then I stumbled onto this book about the same legend. It seems to be a sign. I'm not sure what kind of sign it is at all, but, it feels like it's a sign. Either that I am William Taft, or that my tastes are so eclectic that they have come back around on themselves like an Ouroboros serpent.
So, William Taft, the 27th President of the United States was not a small man. So, the legend is that he once got stuck in a White House bathtub. And, this picture book has the whole government on the job trying to get the President unstuck.
What can I say, I’m a sucker for a bathtub picture book. And this reminded me so so much of my favorite of those, King Bidgood’s in the Bathtub. Do I believe the legend? Probably not, but it's a hilarious story for kids to enjoy.
You may like this book If you Liked: King Bidgood's in the Bathtub by Audrey Wood, Click, Clack, Ho Ho Ho! by Doreen Cronin, or Granny McFlitter by Heather Haylock
President Taft Is Stuck in the Bath by Mac Barnett

Small Press Roundup!
As I was making my silly little 2022 book gift guide, I thought I’d round up some (teeny tiny, small, and medium) indie presses to go support this season and beyond. Small press books make especially great gifts since your book-loving friends and family are less likely to already have read them.
Enchanted Lion Books - Beautiful, unique, and translated picture books for kids and adults with more experimental sensibilities. I recommend the Chirri & Chirra books and Sato the Rabbit, A Sea of Tea.
Candlewick Press - If you’re a fan of Jon Klassen and the hat books (or Mac Barnett or Carson Ellis--the group behind the Picture Book Manifesto), you’ve already heard of this publisher, but they do make outstanding children’s books.
Small Beer Press - Speculative fiction fans, run over to Kelly Link and Gavin J. Grant’s incredible, weird, magic book factory. I recommend In Other Lands by Sarah Rees Brennan for the fantasy fans or anything by Elizabeth Hand.
Two Dollar Radio - Their books are cute in trim size and weird in content--the ideal combination. You can also join their tattoo club and get 10 free books. Their lobby/HQ/bookshop/cafe seems like a dream.
Hub City Press - Poetry, fiction, and nonfiction with a focus on promoting diverse stories and underrepresented voices in the South. Novels are more conventional and historical. Good, bleak poetry and thoughtful, specific nonfiction.
Night Boat Books - A bit more on the esoteric side. Their books would be great for academics and poets and anyone interested in queer studies or works in translation.
Wave Books - A poetry press with gorgeous books and lit crit. I recommend Bluets by Maggie Nelson (her other books are published by Graywolf, keep scrolling).
Dorothy - A tiny feminist publisher of fiction or about fiction founded by author Danielle Dutton (check out Wild Milk by Sabrina Orah Mark or The Complete Stories of Leonora Carrington for some surreal, dreamlike times).
Feminist Press - Books with a focus on gender, sexuality, and marginalized voices. (Margot Atwell, publisher/editor, has a newletter On the Books, for publishing nerds out there who want to hear a fresh perspective on what’s up with this convoluted industry.)
Tin House - Eclectic--both literary and commercial. I recommend Rabbit Cake by Annie Hartnett.
Milkweed Editions - Nature lovers, these books are for you. Milkweed is also Poet Laureate Ada Limón’s publisher. I recommend Bright Dead Things and her newest collection, The Hurting Kind.
Graywolf Press - Want more Maggie Nelson? Or Carmen Maria Machado? Or experimental printing like Telephone by Percival Everett with its 3 versions? It’s all happening in the Minnesota literary world (I’m serious).
Coffee House Press - Also part of the Minnesota book group. Their books are on the experimental and readable side.
Catapult/Counterpoint/Soft Skull - These presses are sisters. You’ve definitely seen these books around--they do hit the bestseller list and are stacked in neat piles at all the best indie bookshops. Danielle Dutton’s (founder of Dorothy, mentioned above) book Margaret the First is published by Catapult.
50 Watts Books - Surreal reprints of older books in stunning colors; the curation of their bookshop is also impeccable and unique.
McSweeney’s - If you have a lowbrow/highbrow sense of humor and enjoy satire, these books are for you. They also publish the creative magazine for creative kids, Illustoria.
Nobrow Press/Flying Eye Books - UK based press for comic and bright color lovers of all ages. I recommend the Hilda series by Luke Pearson and Hicotea by Lorena Alvarez. Katie Harnett’s and Simona Ciraolo’s picture books are also wonderful.
Pioneer Works - This is the book intersection for art, tech, design, music, and science. I recommend Notes on My Dunce Cap by Jesse Ball for (arts) teachers or anyone interested in pedagogy.
