Here are some favorites of mine: Picture books: Monkey and Me, by Emily Gravett - very cleverly constructed, and a terrific read aloud to boot. Tupelo Rides the Rails, by Melissa Sweet - I love the unlikely, beautiful synthesis of astronomy and homeless dogs. Garmann's Summer, by Stian Hole - wow.
Novels: My One Hundred Adventures, by Polly Horvath - airy and bleak and spinning, and captivating, too. Suite Scarlett, by Maureen Johnson - substantially funny, and really rewarding.
Non-Fiction: Wild Tracks!: A Guide to Nature's Footprints, by Jim Arnosky - just a really nice package whose elements all work well together. Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing up Scieszka, by Jon Scieszka - at last, the perfect book for the autobiography book report.
