How you liking that wave of #kidsbooks from @postwavebooks.bsky.social ?

Using fold out pages, each month of the year is shown from the perspective of a large estate farm. Plants, animals, garden harvests, temperature, and more are explored for each month. For studies of Seasons, this is a fine title for comparison purposes. Good choice for classroom use.

Marching band across the land, from the city to the beach to outer space, they march their tune, in rhymed text, across richly decorated pages. The illustrations are reminiscent of Richard Scarry, but with a modern feel. It’s a fun storytime choice and kids will love all the details.

Halloween, meet the king of Dad jokes! It’s non-stop, eye-rolling Dad dressed as a ghost jokester fun. From scare spray for hair-dos to grave concerns in the cemetery, Dad is on a rip-roaring roll. Get this for your collections. It’s a scream.
