Mi Comunidad!/My Community! makes a true bilingual book accomplishable

I understand why some parents don’t want to read a book to children in a second language. It’s the accent that we perceive they’ll be laughed at. I get that, but spoiler alert, your elementary school student is not going to know if you’re slightly mispronouncing a word in a second language that’s in a book. This is a good thing. To be able to have a book in Spanish and English, with exactly the same content in a way elementary-aged kids will understand and enjoy, is a good thing. Mi Comunidad!/My Community! is by 123 Andres and it’s a high-quality bilingual illustrated book that kids will enjoy, but might fly under your radar.

Mi Communidad!/My Community! is a bilingual illustrated book that talks the talk and shows young readers two languages in action.
Learning a second language is easier the younger that they start

Vegetables in Pajamas, not stopping a great thing in the Underwear series

Vegetables in Underwear will always hold a special place in our potty training heart. Little did we know that this cute board book would have legs that spawn off books just as great as the one that we held such fond memories of. If you haven’t seen any of the Vegetables in Underwear board book series then Vegetables in Pajamas is as cute as you can imagine. Picture a board book where dozens of softly drawn vegetables are modeling pajamas, using simple words to describe their bedtime apparel and eventually being tucked into bed. If cuteness were a commodity that kids could eat then they’d gobble this book up and then some.

Vegetables in Pajamas is silly, uproarious, board book fun that ages three through five will seek out during story time.
Fear not the clothing we sleep in vegetable friends

Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins, a classic that we just found out about

You’ll feel like you know Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins. The story will resonate with you simply by looking at the cover as a menorah is being lit by a traveler with a goblin hovering beside him. You might have never read the book, but its moral, succinct fashion, and spot-on art will leave you feeling like it’s a book that you’ve always known. Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins is a hardcover, illustrated book that’s more about the story than it is about the religious celebration.

Hershel and the Hanukkah Goblins is a seasonal book that’s enjoyable anytime of the year, and for any audience.
A classic book can take many forms

I Don’t Care, the sly, slow and lasting road to friendship

Softness is not a pejorative. There are certain children’s illustrated books that wear that descriptor as a badge or cloak, enabling it to give it strength and personality. Author Julie Fogliano’s work embraces that mantra. Her books have the timeless and approachable morals that early elementary kids crave. They do so in a way that’s not preachy, this is important because that fact allows older readers, teachers and parents to relate to the book as it brings back memories. I Don’t Care is an illustrated book that starts out on somewhat of a contrary tone, but teaches an aspect that everyone can learn from.

I Don’t Care parries soft, engaging art with a story about two friends celebrating their interests and differences.
Rhyming fun that ages 3 and up will quietly clamor for

SpongeBob Mysteries: Find A Missing Star, for those who know

What do you like to read? What do you want to read? I enjoy asking that question to elementary-aged readers because they are still figuring out how to answer it. For a certain period their go-to responses will be kittens, ninjas, unicorns, Minions, sometimes MCU/Disney, and possibly SpongeBob. Whatever their response is, so long as they’re reading it’s OK. SpongeBob Squarepants Mysteries: Find A Missing Star is the start of an early reader chapter book that’s squarely aimed at those who still get belly laughs over Bikini Bottom.

SpongeBob Squarepants Mysteries: Find A Missing Star is emerging reading chapter fun for grades three and up.
C’mon in, the water’s fine

So Much Snow, an instant classic book of the wordless kind

Pity the white crayon. Those books or shows always poke fun of white because it can’t be seen. So Much Snow is a picture book that takes that thought, turns it on its head, and shakes it up for good measure. It’s a ridiculous, wonderful wordless book that takes the white, fluffy stuff that some people see in winter and makes it into a temporary Rorschach test for anyone who picks it up. Whenever a book crosses our desk that shakes up how you view things it’s a special thing, and So Much Snow does just that.

So Much Snow is a simple book, whose design, use of color, layout and intelligence make it a new classic for the ages.
Lo and behold, a new classic book for the generations
