New picture books!

Here are a few recently added picture books that I really liked. Check them out and see for yourself!


The Inside Tree by Linda Smith

Mr. Potter loves his cozy little house, with a little yard just right for his dog. One night, he decides to let his dog inside...setting off a chain of events that quickly spirals out of control.






Namaste by Diana Cohn

Whenever Nima meets someone on her long walk to the market village in Nepal, she brings her hands together with her fingers almost touching her chin, bows her head slightly, and says "Namaste," which means "the light in me meets the light in you." An excellent introduction to a slice of Tibetan culture.



The Easter Egg by Jan Brett

The newest entry in Jan Brett's legacy of wonderfully illustrated picture books. If Hoppi the bunny can create the best Easter egg, he'll get to help the Easter bunny on Easter morning. As he gets discouraged with his attempts, he witnesses a robin's egg fall to the forest floor. Hoppi keeps it safe and warm until it's hatching time. Will Hoppi be rewarded for his deed?

Pennies For Elephants by Lita Judge

Based on a true story! In 1914, the children of Boston work together to raise money and buy a beloved set of retiring local circus elephants for the zoo. A fascinating story of how even small efforts can collectively add up to a large amount.



That's all for now! Miss Lynn
