Count the Monkeys
by Mac Barnett; illustrated by Kevin Cornell
In this raucous picture book, readers are encouraged to count the monkeys -- except that the monkeys are all hiding from a king cobra. Good thing those two mongooses ("or is it mongeese?") chased the cobra away. But what about the three crocodiles? Readers will have to hum, roar, and wave their arms to fend off the increasingly goofy creatures who frighten the monkeys.

| The White Book by Silvia BorandoA plain white wall becomes a young artist's canvas in this quirky, captivating picture book. No words are required for readers to understand that magic is at work: for each color the child rolls on to the wall, a different animal emerges. Deep pink, for instance, morphs into small birds that fly away, while green turns into a troublesome stegosaurus and purple produces a mischievous aardvark. Scribbly, minimal illustrations make careful use of color and movement, drawing the reader's eye and tempting them to guess which animal might appear next. |

| Andrew Draws by David McPhailIf you had the power of creation, how would you use it? That's the question that kids are invited to ponder through Andrew, the dramatically coiffed hero of this picture book. Armed with a crayon and stack of paper, Andrew begins drawing nonstop, and as his artwork improves, it starts to become real. He begins by drawing gifts for his family, but as his reputation spreads, so does his altruistic ambition. |

| Dog Loves Drawing by Louise YatesIn this sequel to Dog Loves Books, Dog encounters a book he doesn't quite understand: a sketchbook. When he starts drawing in the sketchbook, Dog realizes that he can step inside the world he draws, and soon he's playing games and going on train trips with hand-drawn friends. What distinguishes this picture book are the varying artistic styles on display: Dog is drawn with soft strokes, and while his art tools are depicted with pleasing precision, the drawings he produces are charmingly messy. |
