Perfect Picture Book Friday
Business Pig (Sterling Children’s Books, 2018) by Andrea Zuill is a darling book.
Everyone notices their something different about Jasper when he is born. Not only doesn’t he fit in with the rest of the pigs, he continues on a different path. Therefore, when Jasper wants to be adopted he goes about it in a unique way.
I love the humor in the artwork that adds to the humorous text. The book has something for both kids and adults to enjoy.
This is author/illlustrator Andrea Zuill’s fourth book. Her newest book, Sweety, about a naked mole rat, comes out from Schwartz & Wade this month. Read about Andrea here or follow her on Twitter here.
No More Noisy Nights (Flashlight Press, 2017) by Holly L. Niner and illustrated by Guy Wolek is a fun book I think both kids and adults will enjoy.
Mouseling’s Words (Clarion Books, 2017) by Shutta Crum and illustrated by Ryan O’Rourke is a darling picture book. It’s a fresh look at an oft told story of mouse versus cat, but it’s much more than that. It’s also about leaving home, and the love of words.
Wordy Birdy (Doubleday Books for Young Readers, 2018) by Tammi Sauer and illustrated by Dave Mottram is a funny picture book. And it reminds me so much of one of my daughters when she was three because she didn’t stop talking!
And there’s a sequel coming out in February!
You Must Bring a Hat! (Sterling Children’s Books, 2016) by Simon Philip and Illustrated by Kate Hindley is a humorous picture book about a young boy trying to get into Nigel’s party. The doorman keeps coming up with more and more difficult requirements, like monocles for monkeys and pink tutus for elephants. The twist ending is fun.
