I also have many favorites for the year (and many more to read).
Picture books:
Monsieur Saguette and his Baguette by Frank Asch, The Road to Mumbai by Ruth Jeyaveeran and Why Epossumondas Has No Hair on His Tail by Coleen Salley are all really fun and have great illustrations.
Another book set in France is Kate Bank's The Cat WHo Walked Across France.
The Red Book by Barbara Lehman is an enchanting wordless book especially for book lovers and book dreamers.
Bubble Gum, Bubble Gum by Lisa Wheeler elicits laughs at storytime.
Circle Unbroken by Margot Theis Raven is beautifully written and illustrated.
Humphry, Albert, and the Flying Machine by Kathryn Lasky is inventive.
Non-fiction:
The Boy On Fairfield Street: How Ted Geisel Grew Up To Become Dr. Seuss by Kathleen Krull.
Flag Maker by Susan Campbell Bartoletti.
Hummingbird Nest: A Journal Of Poems by Kristine O'Connell George
(beautiful).
Bread Comes to Life by George Levenson is a great lesson about the life cycle of bread. Nice photographs (you never see the chef's face) and a fun ending.
The Boy Who Drew Birds by Jacqueline Davies is a good biography about John James Audubon.
Another good biography is Don Brown's Odd Boy Out: Young Albert Einstein.
The novel The Crow Girl by Bodil Bredsdorff creates a powerful sense of place. Even though it tells a rough story, it does so gently and teaches an excellent lesson on what constitutes family and love.
One last work of nonfiction:
What Presidents Are Made Of by Hanoch Piven is a delightful look at several of our presidents. Lends itself to hours of discovery and much playfulness.
Peace, Cathy
