Bonus Books: April - Top children’s books for your story time
Babies to tweens, these new books captivate readers at every stage.
“Hello Bedtime”
illustrated by Jannie Ho (Sourcebooks, all ages)
Babies love high contrast images and this series captures that in board book form, giving little eyes everything they need to learn to love books. Corners are rounded and the size is just right for tiny hands to grip as you read together. This series is perfect for baby shower gifts.
“Butt or Face: Revenge of the Butts”
by Kari Lavelle (Sourcebooks, ages 4 – 8)
If ever a book needed a sequel, it’s last year’s “Butt or Face.” Kids giggle, parents laugh (sometimes in spite of themselves), chaos ensues in the best possible way. It’s not all fun and games though. Kids (and parents) can learn some amazing animal facts and little ones get the not-so-subtle message that science is so much fun.
“Basketball Biographies for Kids”
by Matt Chandler (Callisto Publishing)
A companion to “Baseball Biographies for Kids,” this one extends the reading to another sport and fills young readers with the power of stories. This is a great one to add to summer reading lists.
