#BookReview: Four new picture books kids will love
#BookReview: Four new picture books kids will love Looking for your next great storytime read? These four beautifully illustrated picture books offer little readers big adventures, from silly pets and dancing dinosaurs to heartfelt tales about emotions and finding your place in a changing world. Perfect for children aged 3 to 6. 1. 'If I had a crocodile' by Gabby Dawnay and Alex Barrow This sweet little board book in the bestselling 'If I Had a…' series imagines what life would be like with a crocodile as a pet. Children will delight in the silly possibilities of such an unwieldy companion, making this a fun read for parents and children to enjoy together, with plenty of giggles guaranteed. The sturdy pages make it perfect for even the youngest readers. 2. 'I hate everything!' by Sophy Henn Big feelings can be overwhelming, but sometimes all it takes is a little perspective. In this gentle picture book, a little ghost who is feeling angry with life gets support from a friend who loves him. A heartfelt story and a wonderful conversation starter for talking to children about emotions. 3. 'The Comet' by Joe Todd-Stanton When Nyla and her dad move from their countryside home to start over in the city, all she can think about is what she's left behind. In this tender and beautifully illustrated picture book by award-winning author Joe Todd-Stanton, the emotional journey of moving house is brought to life. Through Nyla's eyes, readers explore the sense of loss and disorientation that change can bring, and the surprising joy of discovering new places to belong. 4. 'Never Dance with a Dinosaur' by Pamela Butchart and Marc Boutavant When Peri attends her older sister's ballet class, she finds it difficult to fit in. While the teacher wants her to conform, Peri has her own unique style of dancing. Hiding in the bathroom, she's joined by an unexpected guest, a dinosaur (yes, a real live dinosaur!), and the two set off on a dance party that boogies all the way through town. This vibrantly illustrated story is a joyful reminder to stay true to yourself and always dance to your own tune.
