News — WHAT'S IN THE BOX

We have two wonderfully illustrated picture books for our readers this month. Epossumondas, an old favourite finally published in paperback and Happy Dreamer, a new book from genius Peter H. Reynolds.

Tigers, bears and bunnies oh my, are just some of the adorable creatures in this month’s baby books box. One Happy Tiger by Catherine Rayner from Edinburgh, Scotland. The Daily Telegraph says that Catherine “has the marvellous gift for capturing the souls of animals in a few, rich washes of colour.”

We have two fun and silly picture books this month that will make a great addition to your bookself. You Can Read by Helaine Becker from Toronto, Ontario and illustrated by Mark Hoffmann from New England. This book is an imaginative tribute to reading and all the places you can read. For instance, “You can read in Tuktoyaktuk or in the south of France, You can read in your party clothes or in your underpants!”

We had two great adventure, middle grade novels for 8-12 year olds this month. Both authors were kind enough to write exclusive letters to our readers and these have been included in the box.
