Open This Little Book
By Jesse Klausmeier, Illustrated by Suzy Lee
—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Open this book and you will find . . . another book . . . and another . . . and another. Debut author Jesse Klausmeier and master book creator Suzy Lee have combined their creative visions to craft a seemingly simple book about colors for the very youngest readers, an imaginative exploration of the art of book making for more sophisticated aficionados, and a charming story of friendship and the power of books for all.
Flora and the Flamingo
By Molly Idle
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
Flora and her graceful flamingo friend explore the trials and joys of friendship through an elaborate synchronized dance in this innovative lift-the-flap book. With a twist, a turn, and even a flop, these unlikely friends learn at last how to dance together in perfect harmony. Full of humor and heart, their stunning performance (and splashy ending!) will have readers clapping for more!
