When Pigasso Met Mootisse by Nina Laden

The ego of an artist is famously swinish, but in Nina Laden’s rollicking art-inspired story, swinish takes on a whole new meaning. With the introduction of barnyard versions of Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso, Laden pokes fun at pretension (Serial philanderer Pablo Picasso as a pig? Yes please!). This surprisingly…

Who was scared of the dark? Thought there were monsters in their closet? Dreaded bedtime at one point? Answer: practically everyone.

Big Questions from Little People and Simple Answers from Great Minds compiled by Gemma Elwin Harris

Researchers found that when children who ask information-seeking questions get informative answers, they’re satisfied. When they don’t, they keep on asking. So…

Mr. Ferris and His Wheel by Kathryn Gibbs Davis

  The pang of rejection is a heart-wrenching feeling that we all know too well. The glow of doing something they told you you could never do, however, is a soaring, gorgeous creature of a feeling that warms your chest and stretches a smile on your face. And when your…

Presto Changeo: Book of Animal Magic by Edouard Manceau

  In Édouard Manceau’s Presto Change-o: Book of Animal Magic, nothing is quite what it seems. Clever designs on each page contain rotating parts, and every illustration can be transformed from an ordinary object to a playful animal. For example, take a gander at an innocent flower. Just a flower,…
