Awesome! You MUST open this book!
OPEN THIS LITTLE BOOK by Jesse Klausmeier with illustrations by Suzy Lee. Chronicle Books, 2013.
I had seen enthusiastic posts about the book but had no idea WHY until I saw it at ALA Midwinter last week. I was captivated by this story of a little read book in which a Ladybug opens a little green book. In the little green book, a frog opens a little orange book and so on. The books within the book gets progressively smaller. There is a surprise in the middle, and now the books grow larger. Kids will spend tons of time turning pages and revisiting this book again and again.
