New Children’s Books

Here are a few favorite new books added to our children’s collection!

An adorable adventure!! Can you find baby?!

 “Papa Fox is looking for Baby Fox, who is just out of his sight … but not ours! An adorable, interactive read-aloud for fans of Are You My Mother. In this clever introduction to prepositions, a near-sighted Papa is looking for his baby. Is Baby up in the tree? Is Baby under the log? Is Baby around the corner? Where could Baby be? Readers will delight in spotting the little fox on every page as Papa wanders the forest, encountering other animals all along the way, but never quite able to spot his own baby. Anne Hunter’s delicate and lovely illustrations with their limited palette highlight the humor of this adorable hide-and-seek tale.”– Provided by publisher.

A story that reminds us it is okay to be introverted and teaches us to pause and notice the little things.

“Poppy Ann Fields loves bugs and feels more comfortable outdoors than with other people until a special bug lands on Grandma Phyllis’s birthday cake. Includes a glossary of insects.”

A silly story about monsters and friendship.

“Having eaten his only friend, a monster seeks a new companion but each creature he meets has a good reason not to serve as a replacement.”

A beautiful celebration of the interconnectedness of nature and the wonder of play.

“Join celebrated artist Julie Flett on a joyful romp with animals. From chasing, chirping birds, to swimming, squirting whales, this book for young readers reminds them how animals play just like them. This picture book, with gorgeous images and sweet simple text, is a marvelous celebration of the interconnectedness of all creatures, and includes some Cree phrases. It is based on the Cree teaching of wahkohtowin, interconnectedness and play, and includes as well the English and Cree names of the animals in the book, all of whom are from ‘Turtle Island’ (North America).”– Provided by publisher.

Stunning illustrations and descriptions of life on the prairie.

 “Describes summer days growing up on the prairie with beautiful illustrations.”

A heartwarming story that carries well beyond winter…

 “In winter Charles and his trusty toboggan set out to find the wish tree, and along the way he helps to make the wishes of his friends Squirrel, Fox, and Beaver come true.”

This is an uplifting and encouraging read based on true events.

“When a child has a “bad speech day” at school, his father gives him a new perspective on his stuttering.”
