Sueño de Luna - Picture Book (2025)

[librarycomic]

Happy Halloweenie by Katie Vernon. Little Simon, 2023. 9781665930604. http://www.powells.com/book/-9781665930604?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Weenie can't decide what to be for Halloween, which provides a chance for Vernon to create hilarious illustrations and for young kids to learn some rhyming vocabulary words. My favorite is the Chewbacca-esque "hairy" costume.

Birthday Monsters by Sandra Boynton. Boynton Bookworks, 1993, 2014. 9781665925105. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781665925105?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Five birthday monsters wake a poor hippo up at 6am and create chaos! My daughter loved it when I used to read this book to her, and then she loved reading it to me.

And, good news, it seems like every Sandra Boynton book I remember is back in print now! Did they ever leave print? At least I've seen more out there recently than I remember reading, and I remember quite a few.) My favorites are : -Fifteen Animals (I'm sending this one to my friend Bob) -Jungle Night (I love Boynton's hippos best, but the way she draws monkeys is a close second) - and EEK! Halloween! (the chickens are nervous)

The Wheels on the Tuk Tuk by Kabir Sehgal & Surishtha Sehgal, illustrated by Jeff Golden. Little Simon, 2023. 9781665921947. https://www.powells.com/book/-9781665921947?partnerid=34778&p_bt

Yeah, tuk tuk wheels go round and round, and people jump off and off as you'd expect. It also stops for the moo-moo-cow, and the riders say namaste-ji. It's all a nice way to honor the tuk tuk walas in India who don't stop for anything (and one of whom inspired the authors to write this). Golden's illustrations are what keep me coming back to this book -- they're bright and friendly and make me want to take a ride.

A Series of Vignettes

Yellow light and sitting up

Cribs and comfy clothes

Twirling animals holding hands

Snack of cheerios

 Clack-clack-clack-clack goes the train

Playing hide-and-seek

Bright laughter, crinkled plastic

Squeeeeeaaaaaaak!

 Blue skies, stirring strings

Castles, pause for snack

Movement, singing, dancing, color

fading into black

 Cold water, closed eyes

Soap, tears, *POP*

Soft towels, warm hugs

Daddy grabs the mop

 Family cuddles, call the dog

Fwoosh as pages turn

Red ball, yellow cat

Full of things to learn

 Brown bear and lullabies

Blankets made of plush

Rocking chair then lying down

Hushhhhhhhhhhhh

I'm working on two new books in my board books series: Animal Sounds and Animal Numbers so, I'm revisiting Animal Shapes and Animal Colors. I'm super proud of these books. Animal Shapes got a starred review from Kirkus and Animal Colors a starred review from Publisher's Weekly awhile back.

This always gets a laugh when I read it at schools.

So what do you get when Jumbled Giraffes meet a Rectangle?
