 <\/p>\n

Anna Dewdney, author and illustrator of many great books<\/a> for children, including the “Llama Llama” books beloved by readers of all ages, passed away on September 3rd, following a 15-month battle with brain cancer. We feel the loss of a warm, creative, and generous woman. Her obituary in\u00a0Publisher’s Weekly<\/em> shared more about her perceptive and giving spirit: “Dewdney wrote a 2013 opinion piece for the Wall Street Journal, emphasizing that ’empathy is as important as literacy’ when it comes to educating children. ‘When we read with a child, we are doing so much more than teaching him to read or instilling in her a love of language,’ she wrote. ‘We are doing something that I believe is just as powerful, and it is something that we are losing as a culture: by reading with a child, we are teaching that child to be human. When we open a book, and share our voice and imagination with a child, that child learns to see the world through someone else\u2019s eyes.'”<\/p>\n

Dewdney requested that people honor her by, in lieu of a funeral service, read to a child instead. We’d like to share some\u00a0of our staff’s favorite read-aloud (and read along) titles for children in tribute to this\u00a0wonderful author.\u00a0Open one of these old and cozy or new and different books, and share the world with a child.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your stories and rest well, Anna.<\/p>\n

Llama, Llama Red Pajama<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Anna Dewdney<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-llama-llama-red-pajama\"<\/p>\n

Dewdney published many more titles featuring “llama llama,” a furry, four-legged toddler with recognizable fears, frustrations, and the need for reassurance. This first title, a quintessential\u00a0bedtime story, is a great read to share with little ones getting ready to go to sleep\u00a0and learning to trust the nighttime world to be safe and sound, even when Mama turns off the light and leaves the room. Dewdney’s rhythmic verse and sweet illustrations of a very expressive Llama Llama make this a favorite read at tucking-in time.<\/p>\n

The Snowy Day<\/em><\/a> by Ezra Jack Keats<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-the-snowy-day\"In 1962, a little boy named Peter put on his snowsuit and stepped out of his house and into the hearts of millions of readers. The Snowy Day<\/em> transformed children’s literature with its pioneering portrayal of an African-American child and the charming story and artwork that won it the Caldecott Medal.<\/p>\n

This 1963 Caldecott Medal winner has bright, bold illustrations and simple text that invite its readers\u00a0to share\u00a0quiet wonder and excitement of a\u00a0snowy day right along with Peter.<\/p>\n

Green Eggs and Ham<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>by Dr. Seuss<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u0080\u009c\"cover-image-green-eggs-and-ham\"“Do you like green eggs and ham?”\u0080\u009d asks Sam-I-am in this Beginner Book by Dr. Seuss. “In a house or with a mouse?… In a boat or with a goat? … On a train… or in a tree?” Sam keeps asking persistently. With unmistakable characters and signature rhymes, Dr. Seuss’s beloved favorite has cemented its place as a children’\u0080\u0099s classic. In this most famous of cumulative tales, the list of places to enjoy green eggs and ham, and friends to enjoy them with, gets longer and longer. Follow Sam-I-am as he insists that this unusual treat is indeed a delectable snack to be savored everywhere and in every way.<\/p>\n

Of course,\u00a0any Dr. Seuss book is a solid\u00a0read aloud choice — go on, just try the tongue-twisting fun of Fox in Socks…<\/p>\n

The Napping House<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>written by Audrey Wood, illustrated by Don Wood<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-the-napping-house\"A cozy bed, a snoring granny, a dreaming child, a dozing dog, a snoozing–WAIT! There’s a surprise in store, and little ones will want to discover it over and over again. So pull on your sleeping cap and snuggle in for a timeless cumulative tale that’s truly like no other.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Cumulative tales like this one, which build on elements progressively (like “The House that Jack Built” or “There was an Old Woman Who Swallowed a Fly”) are great fun to read aloud–the listeners can’t help but chime in as they follow the pattern. Don Wood’s illustrations of \u00a0a crowded bed that nearly bursts\u00a0out of the pages, and the fun surprise at the end add laughter to the mix, and The Napping House<\/em>\u00a0works equally well with a group of kids in a classroom or with one kid at bedtime.<\/div>\n

Where the Wild Things Are<\/em><\/a> by Maurice Sendak<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\"cover-image-where-the-wild-things-are\"A naughty little boy, sent to bed without his supper, sails to the land of the wild things where he becomes their king.\u00a0Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal, Where the Wild Things Are<\/em> became an iconic book that has inspired a movie, an opera, and the imagination of generations. It continues to be one of the best loved books of all time the world over, by the one and only Maurice Sendak. No one captures\u00a0childhood fears, feelings and wild imagination quite like Sendak–always with humor, great affection,\u00a0and respect for the complicated people children are.<\/div>\n

The Giving Tree<\/em><\/a> by Shel Silverstein <\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>
\nI Love You This Much<\/a><\/em> written by Robert Munsch, illustrated by Sheila McGraw<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-love-you-forever\"\"cover-image-giving-tree\"These two seem to be their own genre of classic children’s book: stories representing\u00a0the unconditional love and devotion parents have for their children,\u00a0and titles that are absolutely beloved by many (and not so much by many others), so you be the judge and give them a try–you may discover a new favorite. (Feel free to comment about these and any other favorite read alouds — did we miss yours?)<\/p>\n

Since it was first published over fifty years ago, Shel Silverstein’s poignant picture book for readers of all ages has offered a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another’s capacity to love in return. Simple\u00a0line drawings illustrate this tale of a tree devoted to a boy as he grows from childhood to old age.<\/p>\n

In Munsch’s book, illustrated with soft color washes by McGraw, a young woman holds her newborn son and looks at him lovingly. Softly she sings to him: “I’ll love you forever \/I’ll like you for always \/As long as I’m living \/My baby you’ll be.” So begins the story that has touched the hearts of millions worldwide.<\/p>\n

The Gunniwolf<\/em><\/a> (retold) by Wilhelmina Harper, illustrated by Barbara Upton<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-the-gunniwolf\"Wilhelmina Harper’s The Gunniwolf<\/i> is a classic-beloved by readers, storytellers, and teachers. Unavailable for years, it is back with fabulous new illustrations by Barbara Upton, perfect for our time. Its vibrant, rhythmic read-aloud text-sprinkled with dialect-tells the story of Little Girl, who is forbidden to enter the jungle for fear of meeting the Gunniwolf. But when she does, this version’s Gunniwolf seems almost playful-if just a little scary. But Little Girl learns her lesson, and a new generation of listeners will be rapt with delight at this “guten sweeten” book.<\/p>\n

A Bad Case of Stripes<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0No, David!<\/em><\/a> by David Shannon<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-bad-case-of-stripes\"\"cover-image-no-david\"Modern classics–these two were recommended by more than one staff member, and Shannon’s colorful, energetic illustrations add to the fun.<\/p>\n

In A Bad Case of Stripes<\/em>,\u00a0Camilla Cream loves lima beans, but she never eats them. Why? Because the other kids in her school don’t like them. And Camilla Cream is very, very worried about what other people think of her. In fact, she’s so worried that she’s about to break out in…a bad case of stripes!<\/p>\n

When David Shannon was five years old, he wrote and illustrated his first book. On every page were these words: NO, DAVID! . . . and a picture of David doing things he was not supposed to do. Now David is all grown up. But some things never change. . . .Over fifteen years after its initial publication, NO, DAVID!<\/em> remains a perennial household favorite, delighting children, parents, and teachers alike. David is a beloved character, whose unabashed good humor, mischievous smile, and laughter-inducing antics underline the love parents have for their children–even when they misbehave.<\/div>\n

Dry,\u00a0With a Twist<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tons of titles suggested by staff are darkly humorous, or offer a twist to surprise and delight readers. These read alouds definitely offer something to entertain the grownups\u00a0doing the reading equally well as\u00a0their audience. Much of the funny in these books is created by the visuals, so the illustrations really pack a punch in pushing the story wherever it’s going.<\/p>\n

Shh! We Have a Plan<\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Chris Haughton<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-shh-we-have-a-plan\"Four friends creep through the woods, and what do they spot? An exquisite bird high in a tree! “Hello birdie,” waves one. “Shh! We have a plan,” hush the others. They stealthily make their advance, nets in the air. Ready one, ready two, ready three, and go! But as one comically foiled plan follows another, it soon becomes clear that their quiet, observant companion, hand outstretched, has a far better idea. Award-winning author-illustrator Chris Haughton is back with another simple, satisfying story whose visual humor plays out in boldly graphic, vibrantly colorful illustrations.<\/p>\n

I Want My Hat Back<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Jon Klassen<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-i-want-my-hat-back\"The bear’s hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as the bear begins to despond, a deer comes by and asks a simple question that sparks the bear’s memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this delicious take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humor– and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke.<\/p>\n

(If you like this one, try another title illustrated by Klassen,\u00a0Sam and Dave Dig a Hole<\/a>\u00a0<\/em> by Mac Barnett)<\/p>\n

Duck! Rabbit! <\/strong><\/em>by Amy Krouse Rosenthal\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-duck-rabbit\"From the award-winning author of Little Pea<\/em>, Little Hoot<\/em>, and Little Oink<\/em> comes a clever take on the age-old optical illusion: is it a duck or a rabbit? Depends on how you look at it! Readers will find more than just Amy Krouse Rosenthal’s signature humor here — there’s also a subtle lesson for kids who don’t know when to let go of an argument. A smart, simple story that will make readers of all ages eager to take a side, Duck! Rabbit! makes it easy to agree on one thing: reading it again! Even the barcode on the back cover is in on the gag, so stay with it through the end.<\/p>\n

My Lucky Day<\/em>\u00a0 or by Keiko Kasza<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"cover-image-my-lucky-day\"When a delicious-looking piglet knocks on Mr. Fox’s door “accidentally,” the fox can hardly believe his good luck. It’s not every day that dinner just shows up on your doorstep. It must be his lucky day! Or is it?…In a funny trickster tale of her own, Kasza keeps readers guessing until the surprise ending when they’ll realize it was piglet’s lucky day all along.<\/div>\n

Let’s Play in the Forest While the Wolf is Not Around<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Claudia Rueda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\"cover-image-lets-play-in-the-forest\"Rising star Claudia Rueda makes a sparkling debut as author and artist in this winsome story based on a traditional French and Spanish play song for the very young.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As Duck, Bunny, Moose, Beaver, and others play between the trees, Wolf continues getting dressed: undershirt, pants, T-shirt, socks, and shoes. By the time he has combed his hair and put on his backpack, Wolf is VERY hungry, and the animals are suddenly VERY afraid. (Spoiler: no animals were harmed in the making of this story–hang through to the end and you’ll see why.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Watermelon Seed<\/em><\/a> by Greg Pizzoli<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

\"cover-image-the-watermelon-seed\"With perfect comic pacing, Greg Pizzoli introduces us to one funny crocodile who has one big fear: swallowing a watermelon seed. What will he do when his greatest fear is realized? Will vines sprout out his ears? Will his skin turn pink? This crocodile has a wild imagination that kids will love.<\/p>\n

With bold color and beautiful sense of design, Greg Pizzoli’s picture book debut takes this familiar childhood worry and gives us a true gem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise<\/em><\/a> by Sean Taylor, illustrated by Jean Jullien<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"cover-image-hoot-owl\"Hoot Owl is no ordinary owl. He is a master of disguise! In the blackness of night, he’\u0080\u0099s preparing to swoop on his prey before it can realize his dastardly tricks. Look there’s\u00a0a tasty rabbit for him to eat! Hoot Owl readies his costume, disguising himself as . . . a carrot! Then he waits. The rabbit runs off. Never mind! Surely his next juicy target will cower against such a clever and dangerous creature as he! Kids will hoot at Sean Taylor\u00e2\u0080\u0099s deliciously tongue-in-beak narration, belied by the brilliantly comical illustrations of Jean Jullien.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Staff recommendation: “Join Hoot Owl as he sets off to get dinner for the evening. Every now and then you\u2019ll come across a picture book that just BEGS to be read aloud.\u00a0 Hoot Owl<\/em> is one of those books.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"cover-image-max-makes-a-million\"Max, a dog who dreams of being a poet in Paris, must be content to remain in New York City with his friends Bruno, a painter, and Marcello , a crazy architect. The staff who suggested this title added, “I\u2019ve read this book to many people of all ages and it\u2019s a huge hit with all of them. When my niece comes to visit ( who will be 27 next week) it\u2019s the first book she pulls off the shelf to read!”<\/div>\n

13 Words<\/em><\/a> by Lemony Snicket, illustrated by Maira Kalman<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"cover-image-13-words\"(Editor’s note: This one’s my pick, and it’s on my mental shelf of all-time favorites.) It’s like\u00a0“Mad-Libs, \u00a0illustrated by Dali”…There is something interesting and off-beat at every clip, and Kalman’s illustrations hit just the right quirky tone. It’s a charming story (ostensibly about a despondent [word #2] bird [word #1]) and her friend’s effort to cheer her up), and the ending isn’t entirely “happy,” but somehow with the despondence and the weirdness, it leaves you feeling like you get it perfectly. And you like it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

The Wolves in the Walls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em> by Neil Gaiman, illustrated by David McKean<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"cover-image-wolves-in-the-walls\"Lucy is sure there are wolves living in the walls of their house — and, as everybody says, if the wolves come out of the walls, it’s all over. Her family doesn’t believe her. Then one day, the wolves come out.\u00a0But it’s not all over. Instead, Lucy’s battle with the wolves is only just beginning. McKean’s illustrations, full of shadows and subdued color, add lots of atmosphere to this fun story. Great for bedtime (for kids who like just a little bit of spookiness), and also great for performing with a crowd, with plenty\u00a0of sound effects and voices to create.<\/div>\n

Infectious!<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
These staff picks are all great read-alouds; some books demand reading aloud, and are so much better with an audience of at least one…here are some of our favorites in that category, which compel reader(s) to perform, and listener(s) participate in some way: to sing along, respond along, move along, or just laugh out loud.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If You’re Happy and You Know It!<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>by Jane Cabrera and\u00a0<\/strong>The Seals On the Bus<\/em><\/a> by Lenny Hort, illustrated by G. Grian Karas<\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
\"cover-image-seals-on-the-bus\"\"cover-image-if-you're-happy-and-you-know-it\"In Cabrera’s book, an elephant, a monkey, and a giraffe join other animals to sing different verses of this popular song that encourages everyone to express their happiness through voice and movement.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

In Hort’s take on a familiar kids’ song, \u00a0“The seals on the bus go ‘errp, errp, errp’ \/\u00a0‘errp, errp, errp’ …. All around the town…”\u00a0What will the people on the bus do when more and more raucous animals hop on board? This beastly twist on a favorite song will have young readers errping and roaring and honking along.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

I Love My White Shoes<\/a><\/em> by Eric Litwin, art by James Dean<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\"cover-image-i-love-my-white-shoes\"This one has a song begging to be sung, a pattern of question-and-answer for the listeners to respond to, and a wonderful lesson in seeing the bright side.\u00a0Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as he steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries, and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are, Pete keeps movin’ and groovin’ and singing his song…because it’s all good. The illustrations are gorgeously jazzy and saturated in color, and if this one works for you, there are many more Pete the Cat<\/a> books to follow up.<\/div>\n

\"cover-image-day-the-crayons-came-home\"\"cover-image-day-the-crayons-quit\"Poor Duncan just wants to color. But when he opens his box of crayons, he finds only letters, all saying the same thing: His crayons have had enough! They quit! Beige Crayon is tired of playing second fiddle to Brown Crayon.
