Picture Books for Young and Old

Here are a few of my new favorites...

How Rocket Learned to Read by Tad Hills is a read-it-every-night sort of story.  A plucky bird claims a reluctant young dog as her student.  Wooing him with an appealing story (obviously chosen for his interests) she gets him excited about reading.  My Kinders loved this story - yours will, too. :)






It's A Book by Lane Smith is a slightly saucy sass that extols the virtues of plain old print.  Even though I LOVE my Kindle and would be LOST without my iPad, I still cherish a good old fashioned paper-bound BOOK.  Lane, apparently, does too.
Language alert: this book has a jackass for a character...and he's called by his name (though it is tastefully done, in a sort of sarcastic way).
