On Our Wishlist features all of the books we added to our wishlist in the past week.
Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin-Picking Plan by Rob Scotton
Join Splat the Cat in New York Times bestselling author-artist Rob Scotton's Splat the Cat and the Pumpkin-Picking Plan. Splat goes to a pumpkin patch with Seymour, and he is determined to find the biggest pumpkin ever. But when he finally does, Splat finds out the real challenge isn't the pumpkin picking—it's how to get the pumpkin home!
Complete with stickers, this storybook is perfect for fans of the Splat the Cat picture book series. Young readers will love laughing along with their favorite furry cat as he thinks up the perfect plan in this hilarious new Splat the Cat adventure!
My kids love Splat the Cat. Scaredy-Cat, Splat was one of my son's favorite library picks last year so another Splat Halloween book would go over well with him.
The Night Parade by Lily Roscoe, David Walker
A bedtime book in the vein of Everywhere Babies, Harold and Purple Crayon, and In the Night Kitchen, THE NIGHT PARADE is a dreamworthy story.
Have you ever wondered what happens at night
while mothers and fathers lie sleeping?
Children wake up. They climb out of their beds
some crawling, some running, some leaping.
As the moon shines down they escape into town
To the Night Parade they go sneaking...
THE NIGHT PARADE is a goodnight book filled with the whimsical wilderness of children's imaginations just before they fall asleep. Written by first time author, Lily Roscoe, and illustrated by bestselling illustrator, David Walker, THE NIGHT PARADE is a truly dreamworthy read-aloud.
I have a thing for bedtime books. I think it has something to do with how much I long for sleep now that I'm a parent.
Flora and the Penguin by Molly Idle
Having mastered ballet in Flora and the Flamingo, Flora takes to the ice and forms an unexpected friendship with a penguin. Twirling, leaping, spinning, and gliding, on skates and flippers, the duo mirror each other's graceful dance above and below the ice. But when Flora gives the penguin the cold shoulder, the pair must figure out a way to work together for uplifting results. Artist Molly Idle creates an innovative, wordless picture book with clever flaps that reveal Flora and the penguin coming together, spiraling apart, and coming back together as only true friends do.
