The Dark By Lemony Snicket ($11.89)
Laszlo is afraid of the dark.
The dark lives in the same house as Laszlo. Mostly, though, the dark stays in the basement and doesn’t come into Lazslo’s room. But one night, it does.
This is the story of how Laszlo stops being afraid of the dark.
With emotional insight and poetic economy, two award-winning talents team up to conquer a universal childhood fear.
I was so pumped to get a Lemony Snicket book!
This book is perfect for help resolving fears of the dark – and it’s just so slick and not cheesy.
The Only Child By Guojing ($12.15)
A New York Times Best Illustrated Book
Hailed by Entertainment Weekly and the Wall Street Journal as a best book of the year, this gorgeous and imaginative story—part picture book, part graphic novel—is utterly transporting and original. USA Today declared it “a compelling and melancholy debut from an important new talent” as well as “an expansive and ageless book full of wonder, sadness, and wild bursts of imagination.” And like Shaun Tan’s The Arrival and Raymond Briggs’s The Snowman, it is quickly becoming a modern classic.
A little girl—lost and alone—follows a mysterious stag deep into the woods, and, like Alice down the rabbit hole, she finds herself in a strange and wondrous world. But… home and family are very far away. How will she get back there?
In this magnificently illustrated—and wordless—masterpiece, debut artist Guojing brilliantly captures the rich and deeply-felt emotional life of a child, filled with loneliness and longing as well as love and joy
This solely illustrated book (there are no words) invites the reader right into the strange world the little girl finds herself in. While it’s not your typical reading experience, it allows kids to tell the story in their own words – a crucial reading skill!
The Kissing Hand By Audrey Penn ($8.65)
The Kissing Hand, used by millions of parents and children starting school or facing separation, is now brought to life in audio form. Package includes a paperback book and a reading of the story on CD, with and without page-turn signals. Also included on the CD, on a separate track, is the new, original “Chester’s Song” with lyrics by Audrey Penn and set to beautiful music. A perfect addition to the home, classroom or library audio collection!
(sobs) My baby knows this one – our elementary school does The Kissing Hand on their first day.
Dad took Mr. E (now 6!) to kindergarten on the first day and they all read the story and learned about the kissing hand (it’s where you store the kiss of your parent so you can access it when they are away).
It’s kind of a tearjerker but we’re happy to have our own copy!
Don’t Eat The Baby By Amy Young ($14.87)
New baby brothers are: loud stinky and totally boring. But are they tasty, too?
All the grown-ups in Tom’s life seem to think Baby Nathaniel looks cute enough to eat. Would they really eat a baby for dinner? Could Tom be next?!
Well the concept is pretty funny – but I think most kids actually understand this idiom!
Our kids thought this one was funny, but it wasn’t a big win like the other three books – but that’s ok. Not every book can (or should) be highbrow. Sometimes we should talk about eating our young.
This is a wonderful subscription for bringing a really great variety of multi-age children’s books into your home every month without fail! It’s $15 with the shipping – you just cannot beat it. The value to price is amazing and we always have a great story time and at least 2 new favorites with this box!
