These books made their way straight to my house as soon as they were cataloged - but they will be on the shelves soon!

Okay, Kadir Nelson, so - automatically you know the pictures will be swoon-worthy. Once you tear your eyes away from the illustrations, you'll enjoy the simple, sweet text, which reminds children (and their adults) that we can sow and nurture kindness or selfishness just as easily as vegetables.

Some of the terminology (i.e. katas, gi) was a little over my kids' heads, but they enjoyed the wolf and Red's head-to-head battle, as well as Gran's appearance, and the rhythm made it a fun one to read out loud.

Loved this one, especially the parents' attitudes and the resolution. Another with a fun, easy rhyme, this will definitely be appearing in a story time. The kids especially liked the commentary from the worms!

Christopher in particular thought this one was hysterical. Poor Louie, this is HIS story, and people aren't treating it very well! He's going to end up in the bottom of a box at a yard sale, completely unwanted...

Shane grabbed this one off the stack at my desk as soon as he saw it, so I had to bring it home! Poor little dragon (isn't he adorable?) has lost his fire, and nothing he does seems to bring it back. Mom to the rescue, of course!

Another one for Christopher to giggle at like a crazy person. Hoot Owl's disguises don't work quite as well as planned, but he never loses heart!

The kids all enjoyed this one, taking turns finding the odd one out. The one page we all had trouble with - the pandas with the bamboo sticks - Shane wandered over and picked out right away! That child...

Love it! Poor Wolf again - it's hard to be big and bad when a toddler is giving you big hugs and insisting that you chase her. This Little Red is more than a match for both Wolf and Grandma!

This final one tickled all the kids, who are great little huggers themselves. I have the feeling our next walk will take a whole lot longer than usual.
