What new books can you find on the library bookshelves this January? Here are a few to look for.
Ages 0-3
Banana Bop, by the beloved board book author Sandra Boynton, is “a book of few words—and most of them are “banana.” But we challenge you to find a better word to repeat over and over again without smiling.
First food, first word, first cascade of giggles: this irresistible board book is sure to make everyone go BANANAS!”
Your Island features “a minimal tableau of familiar objects and a gentle rhythm suited for reading aloud, an island and all its items—a tent, a fire, a boat, a bird—are assembled, ending with bedtime as the sun goes down. This is an island for a young child to have whenever they want to go there.”
Ages 3-5
To See An Owl is “An endearing story about a girl’s efforts to spot an owl from the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of Wolf in the Snow. This gorgeous picture book that encourages patience and perseverance will resonate with readers of all ages who have longed to see one of these elusive creatures in the natural world.”
Soy Sauce! by Laura G. Lee is “A joyful picture book for kids and foodies of all ages (with real soy sauce as paint!) that celebrates the iconic kitchen staple and the magical way food connects family and friends across the world.”
In Bigfoot’s Big Heart, Sarah Glenn Marsh’s second book, “Bigfoot loses the valentines he meant to send to his fellow monsters in hiding, scouts from all over the world come together to deliver the letters.”
