New Picture Books

These were my favorites of our latest new picture books at the Arnold Branch.

Hat Tricks by Satoshi Kitamura - 32 pages
A bunny in a magician's hat pulls out various animals. 
This would make a great story time book.  It is set up for the kids to guess what animal is going to be pulled out next.

Gnome by Fred Blunt - 32 pages
Gnome is rude on every occasion . . . but this time he runs into some consequences.
It's fun to read a book where the characters are apologetically rude.  This book made me chuckle out loud.

The Yawns Are Coming! by Christopher Eliopoulos - 32 pages
Two boys try to stay awake even though the Yawns are chasing them.
I both liked and didn't like this book.  There were parts of it that were absolutely hilarious.  And the illustrations of the yawns reminded me of little blue Pac-Mans.

Llama Unleashes the Alpacalypse by Jonathan Stutzman - 32 pages
Llama replicates Alpaca and unleashes them onto the world.
This is the sequel to Llama Destroys the World.  I might actually like this one a little better.  I think kids will get it more than the original.  I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment about Llama.

What About Worms? by Ryan T. Higgins - 55 pages
Tiger is not afraid of anything . . . except worms.  Worms ruin EVERYTHING!
This is the latest Elephant & Piggie Like Reading beginning reader book.  I found it funny.  I especially liked the twist ending.
