New Picture Books

 The Little Things by Emma Dodd - 32 pages

This book describes how to live your lives with kindness and thoughtfulness for others.  It is a simple book that gently gives its message to little ones.


I'm Sorry by Michael Ian Black - 32 pages

This is the latest book in the author's series about Potato, Flamingo, and the Little Girl.  This book deals with how difficult it is to say you're sorry.  I thought the book was pretty well done.  It gets the point across in a humorous way.


A House by Kevin Henkes - 32 pages

This latest picture book by Kevin Henkes seems almost to be a primer in how to interact with a child while reading a book.  It gives examples of simple questions to draw the child's attention to the illustrations.  I think this would be a great book for one-on-one or with smaller groups of children.


We Give Thanks by Cynthia Rylant - 32 pages

This book is a simple listing of things we are thankful for -- from clothes to family to food.  Although it is not a Thanksgiving book, it would be a great addition to "thankful" story times in that season.
