Potpourri of Picture Books
PRESIDENT TAFT IS STUCK IN THE BATH by Mac Barnett with illustrations by Chris Van Dusen. Candlewick Press, 2014.
The President's stuck
In the tub. Who should we call?
How will he get out?
STONE SOUP WITH MATZOH BALLS: A PASSOVER TALE FROM CHELM by Linda Glaser with illustrations by Maryam Tabatabaei. Albert Whitman, 2014.
All we need for soup
Is a stone, some water, and
Generous people.
PLEASE, LOUISE by Toni Morrison and Slade Morrison with illustrations by Shadra Strickland. Simon & Schuster, 2014.
All Louise will need
Is at the library just
Just waiting for her there.
A CATFISH TALE by Whitney Stewart with illustrations by Gerald Guerlais. Albert Whitman, 2014.
His wife wants it all
A magic catfish can help
But how much's too much?
THE SHORT GIRAFFE by Neil Flory with illustrations by Mark Cleary. Albert Whitman, 2014.
He doesn't show up
In any photo. How can
We solve the problem?
