so-soI‘m a huge fan of Shaun Tan‘s work and I expected this to be my favorite yet since glimpses into the artists‘ mind is usually my jam, but for me this was #goodnotgreat The good was it was unexpected, I found a few unique insights, I got to see a new side of his painting style, I learned a few things about the man behind the work, but I felt less drawn in by the drawings when they weren‘t connected by a narrative and a lot of the writing felt flat.
pick4 ⭐I remember when the first don‘t push the button came out. I was reading it with my three-year-old nephew on my iPad, so when he pushed the button the page would change and things would magically happen. The push the button books are about the only time I have found this style of book that can live up to Press Here. this short sweet, very interactive book will be loved by children whether read as a go to bed book or read and story time.

pickThis book came out over 10 years ago and I don't think my students would know who Madeline was, so they wouldn't get the parody. But I think they would love this book. The pages are clearly well loved (most of my posts are about library books from Timberland Regional, our my school library).
