Our latest shipment of books arrived last week and we've just finished reading them.
We can now highly, highly recommend:
LMNO Peas by Keith Baker
Each pea (or group of peas) is up to something and it just so happens that the activity corresponds with the letter of the alphabet being represented. Absolutely adorable. The peas doing yoga are my favorite, but there are so many precious peas, you'll find more to appreciate each time you read it.
Author Marla Frazee hit the nail on the head when she wrote Boss Baby. When this baby arrives, it is very clear who is in charge. We have a Boss Baby in our house, so I found each Boss Baby antic to be hilarious and spot on. Please, please get this book if you have a baby! Your sleep deprived brain will get a real kick out of the suit and tie onesie, the late night meetings, the made-to-order drinks, and so much more.
Mirror Mirror: A Book of Reversible Verse is just fascinating. Author Marilyn Singer presents us with the classic fairy tales in verse. But with just a change in punctuation and capitalization, she takes the exact same verse and gives us a whole new perspective. It is appropriate for older readers already familiar with the tales, but it is really a work of literary art.
And finally, Lane Smith, tongue-in-cheek author/illustrator of so many great books for kids (especially for boys), gives us It's A Book. Mouse, Ape, & Jackass discuss the idea of a book. In a world of tech savvy kiddos, a book seems like a foreign idea to everyone except Ape. What can you do with it? You'll definitely want to preview this one before purchase. Having a main character named "Jackass" may be problematic in your home. I thought it was hysterical.
More to come! We keep amazon in business around here...

What if I don't have kids, but still want all these books? Ummm, because I do want them all. We might have heard "jackass" around here once or twice before.
