One lucky day Snail was out scooting around when he saw the most beautiful sight- a field of plump, crisp cabbage just across the road. “Well, you won’t stop me!” said Snail to the road. Snail had been traveling for some time when he decided to take a break. Why, I must be nearly there, thought Snail. He was watching the grumbling gray clouds when he felt something coming his way. Some things are too big and fast for snails to ponder. 🚗 🛻 “Well, you won’t stop me!” said Snail to the thing. Snail was cabbage bound! Nothing could stand in his way! “Hey!” “You!” “You’re standing in our way!” “We’ve got a road to cross here!” yelled a troop of rowdy ants. And they probably would have carried on like that if it hadn’t started to rain.” “Rain!” cried the ants. “Help! Help! Help!” “Come in!” said Snail. “Come in before you drown!” Corey R.

“Jack watched the new animals scamper, hop, flap, and trot their way into Open Bud Ranch. Some would stay a short while, and others longer. A few might make the ranch their home, like Jack had when he’d needed a safe and caring place to live. Open Bud Ranch had space for all kinds, and all kinds of space to heal, rest, and grow. Everyone could see that Jack liked keeping his space to himself. Everyone except Charlie. When Charlie arrived , he didn’t see Jack at all. ‘Hey!’ bleated Jack. ‘Pardon me!’ neighed Charlie.

When summer started, I got Grampa’s stopwatch. I don’t want his stopwatch. I want him. Grampa used to time everything. He timed me when I raced to the end of our street and back. Best speed: 24 seconds. He timed me eating bubblegum ice cream 1 minute, 58 seconds. Brain freeze: 6 seconds. Sitting on a log in the park, we timed a swallowtail caterpillar crawling up my pant leg: 7 minutes, 22 seconds. The stopwatch was Grampa’s favorite thing.

“The family was going to the farm for Christmas! It seemed to eight-year-old Johnny Alvern that as far back as he could remember, all he ever really wanted to do was return to the house where his father had been born. Johnny and his parents and little brother, Liam, lived in Scottsdale , Arizona, at the edge of the desert. Johnny’s father was a famous painter, and people came from all over to buy his paintings of the desert. Everyone has a heart home,’ he had once told Johnny, ‘and mine is here in the desert.’ But the pictures Johnny loved best were the ones his father had painted years ago of the big stone house where he had grown up.” Mary Higgins Clark illo: Wendell Minor #getthebook #readit #maryhigginsclark #wendellminor #paulawisemanbooks #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #kidsbookstagram #kidsbooksofinstagram #christmasbook #kidschristmasbook #christmas #gift #hearthome #magicalchristmashorse #magicalchristmas #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #getthebookreadit The illustrations in this books are beautiful!🌟 Gorgeous! 🌟🌟 Amazing! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Heartwarming story too! 🐴
“In the North Pole, in a little cabin, lived Mr. and Mrs. Claus and their seven children, Larry, Mary, Willy, Millie, Joey, Zoe, and Santa. Life was tough in the North Pole. Every day, there was more wood to be chopped, more snow to be shoveled, another fish to be caught, a quilt to be mended, and a fire to be stoked. The Clauses were miserable! Except for Santa. He loved the North Pole. He liked making snow angels, and snowmen, decorating pine trees, and baking gingerbread cookies in the shape of people. Most of all, he liked sliding down the chimney. So, when the Clauses decided to move to Florida, Santa was very sad.” Jon Agee #getthebook #readit #jonagee #authorillustrator #dialbooksforyoungreaders #penguingroup #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #bookstagram #kidsbookstagram #santa #littlesanta #northpole #santasfamily #florida #reindeer #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #getthebookreadit 🌟❄️🎅🏻🦌❄️🌟
“In the front yard of a little house, on the branches of a mighty evergreen, there lived a happy pair of cardinals. Red and Lulu were happy in their tree. Their nests were always safe in its branches. Its shade kept them cool on hot summer days. And its evergreen needles kept them cozy when autumn winds howled. It was the perfect place to live, all year long. But their favorite time of year, by far, was winter. The family would decorate the tree with lights, and sometimes people would gather near and sing: O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, Thy leaves are so unchanging…. Red and Lulu loved listening to the people sing about their tree. Sometimes they even sang along.” Matt Tavares #getthebook #readit #matttavares #authorillustrator #candlewickpress @candlewickpress #redandlulu #separation #reunited #christmas #newyorkchristmastree #cardinals #surroundedbylove #christmastree #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidlit #kidlitofinstagram #bookstagram #kidsbookstagram #christmasbook #kidschristmasbook #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #getthebookreadit 🎄🌟❤️🎄🌟❤️🎄🌟❤️ A lovely Christmas book. 🎄🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🎄
“Life was not easy for the reindeer family of J.P. Finnegan’s Traveling Circus and Menagerie. They spent long days crammed together under the hot sun as an endless stream of curious people jostled to catch a glimpse of them. Even at night, there was little rest. Some nights, to pass the time, Mama would tell stories. ‘It was a magical place,’ she would say. ‘The air was crisp and cold, and the ground was always covered with a cool blanket of white snow. Your father and I were free to roam under the glow of the North Star.’ Dasher, the youngest reindeer, loved Mama’s stories. ‘Is that the North Star, Mama?’ she asked. ‘The very same,’ Mama said. ‘We always knew we were home when it was directly overhead.’” Matt Tavares #getthebook #readit #matttavares #authorillustrator #candlewickpress @candlewickpress #reindeer #northstar #santa #dasher #goinghome #helpingsanta #flyingreindeer #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidsbooks #kidsbooksofinstagram #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #getthebookreadit

“It was Christmas Eve and Ollie had just gone to sleep when jingle, jingle, jingle she woke again with a start. What was that sound? She rushed to the window, but all she could see was a blanket of fresh snow. Grabbing her sled, she ran downstairs… and stepped out into the wintry night. Ollie jumped up to catch a falling snowflake, when she heard the magical sound again. Jingle, jingle, jingle. She had to follow it. Whooooooosh! Racing down the hill, she heard the ringing again. Jingle, jingle, jingle. And this time it was much clearer. The bells got louder as the wind whistled and the trees shook. Jingle, jingle, jingle.

“Vincent was a mouse with boots on his feet, a hat on his head, and a house on his back. He had traveled many miles and lived many places, but today Vincent would live here, because he knew it was where he needed to be. The hill he stood on was an ordinary hill, with tall green grass, a well-traveled path, and a view of the sky that stretched for miles. Vincent took off his boots. He took off his hat. And finally, he took off his house. Not long after, a traveler hopped up the path. ‘Good morning!’ said Vincent. ‘What’s good about it?’ bellowed the bullfrog. ‘I’ve been hopping since sunrise, and my legs cannot hop another hop.’ ‘If you wish,’ said Vincent, ‘you may rest your legs here at my house.’ ‘Your house?’ scoffed the bullfrog. ‘It is much too tiny to fit a frog such as I.’ But the bullfrog was mistaken.

In fact, Turkey looked just like a horse… almost. ‘Mooooo…,’ said Cow. ‘Stop horsing around, Turkey.’ ‘How’d you know it was me?’ moaned Turkey. ‘Too short,’ said Cow. ‘Gobble, gobble,’ grumbled Turkey.

“‘‘Twas the day before Thanksgiving And all through the trees, The fall leaves were spinning Aloft in the breeze. Eight children had boarded Their school bus with grins In hopes that a field trip Soon would begin. They sang as they rode Through autumn terrains, While visions of drumsticks Danced in their brains. O’er rivers, through woods, With winding and weaves, Their school bus sailed on Through the new-fallen leaves. When out on the road There arose such a clatter, They threw down their windows To see what was the matter.” Dav Pilkey #getthebook #readit #davpilkey #authorillustrator #scholastic @scholasticinc #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #bookstagram #kidsbookstagram #thanksgiving #turkey #littleoldfarmer #fieldtrip #savetheturkeys #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #getthebookreadit

“On an island at the edge of a wide, wild sea, Grandma shows me how to live on the land. Together we pull hemlock branches from the salty ocean, heavy with herring eggs like tiny stars. On the beach, we gather ribbons of slippery seaweed dancing in the tide. By the tumbling, icy falls, we dip our nets for silvery salmon hidden beneath the current. And in the forest… we pick berries. Salmonberry, Cloudberry, Blueberry, Nagoonberry. Huckleberry, Soapberry, Strawberry, Crowberry. The berries sing to us, glowing like little jewels. We sing too, so berry—and bear—know we are here.

Nighthawks wind through the canopy hunting for the voice that beckons. ‘Come, come, come, my friends, let me spin, spin you a story.’ Carmen Oliver illo: Miren Asiain Lora #getthebook #readit #carmenoliver #mirenasiainlora #northsouth #northsouthbooks #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #childrensbooks #childrensbooksofinstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #library #librarian #nightlibrary #twilightlibrary #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #lyrical #lyricalpicturebook #getthebookreadit
“Ronan was a mighty barbarian— a leader of his people. He invaded. He raided. And back home, he traded. Ronan was legendary for finding the best pillage— gold, jewelry, weapons, and tools. Everyone wanted to trade with him. Until one raid went horribly wrong. ‘What’s this?’ he roared. ‘This is worthless!’ Ronan tried to barter, but no one would make a deal. Barbarians didn’t read books.” Tara Luebbe & Becky Catie illo: Victoria Maderna #getthebook #readit #taraluebbe #beckycattie #victoriamaderna #roaringbrookpress #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #barbarian #librarian #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #readbooks #getthebookreadit
“It was the night before my eighth birthday, and I was having trouble falling asleep. A thick blanket of snow had silenced the streets outside. I could hear my parents’ whispers in the hallway. I heard footsteps approaching, and my door opened. ‘Would you like your present now?’ asked my father. ‘Really?’ I said excitedly. ‘What is it?’ ‘A book,’ said my mother. ‘I thought we could read it together.’ I stared at it. ‘A book?’ I said frowning.” David Zeltser illo: Raul Colon #getthebook #readit #davidzeltser #raulcolon #randomhouse #randomhousebooks #pb #picturebook #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #bookstagram #library #newyorkpubliclibrary #fortitude #patience #lions #fortitudeandpatience #librarylions #getthebookreadit

A couple of fun books by Mem Fox! DUCKS AWAY! by Mem Fox illo: Judy Horacek “One fine day, a mother duck waddled onto a bridge. A fluffy yellow duckling followed right behind her. Actually, it was two little ducks. No, it was three little ducks.” #ducks #counting #countingbook #duckbook #picturebookfortheyoung #pb #picturebooksofinstagram #picturebookstagram #kidlit #kidlitart #kidlitofinstagram #kidlitstagram #goats #goatbook #bookstagram #memfox #readaloud #readaloudofinstagram #picturebooksareforeveryone #getthebookreadit LET’S COUNT GOATS!
