picture book Monday slightly delayed

A board book adaptation of Marion Dane Bauer's THE VERY BEST DADDY OF ALL (Little Brown 2011) is the perfect gift for all dads for Father's Day. Soft and gentle illustrations by Leslie Wu add to the simple rhyming text about the roles Dads play in the animal kingdom. Some build houses, some care for the young, some face down danger. Of course, the best Daddy of all is "mine." <187>




A second board book is MY FIRST BALLET CLASS EVER by Alyssa Satin Capucilli with photographs by Leyah Jensen (Little Brown 2011). This board book also has lift the flaps inside that demonstrate young ballet students in various ballet positions and performing simple ballet moves. <188>
