Shout out to this charming & funny rhyming #picturebook, THE BALLAD OF CACTUS JOE, by Lily Murray & Clive McFarland. Fabulous, fun rhyme with great characterizations and story structure. Captivating art style with fun pops of neon. To top it all off, there’s backmatter about desert wildlife. Wow!

Just want to give a shout out to this excellent #picturebook, THE TOP SPOT, by Frank Weber. Simple, clear, dramatic. Deadpan humor. Thought-provoking. Captivating illustrations. Totally re-readable! All that a picture book should be.

A book that really spoke to my heart, when I was a child, was THE LITTLE BRUTE FAMILY (by Russell and Lillian Hoban). It's an early chapter book and does such a tender job of personifying a feeling.
