Books like Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs
By Byron Barton
For the kid who can already name ten dinosaurs and wants a book that takes them just as seriously, this one lines up the giants in bold, simple shapes and lets them roar. Bold, chunky, primary-colored, and calm despite the subject — more museum diorama than monster movie.
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
A wide-eyed owl wakes up early and can't get back to sleep, so he explores the daytime forest for the first time, watching butterflies, wolf pups, and his very first rainbow.
A tiny caterpillar hatches from an egg on a leaf and eats his way through days of the week and an amazing variety of foods, growing bigger as he prepares to become a butterfly.
A rhyming romp through everything that counts as a house — anthills, dog kennels, corn husks, pea pods — and eventually the surprising idea that a shoe, a mirror, even a word, might have a house too.
A bright, rhyming romp through a day in the life of birds — from the rooster's dawn crow to the owl's nighttime call — inviting little ones to cheep and tweet along.
Bold die-cut shapes stack and overlap page after page, transforming circles, squares, and triangles into nine recognizable zoo animal faces right before your eyes.
A hungry squirrel searches for the nuts he buried, poking around a nest of fledglings, Mr. Owl, Frog, Vole, Mole, a cave of bats, and the woodchopper's house along the way.
A rhyming picture book invites young readers to imagine life as a penguin, from waddling walks to devoted parenting, paired with detailed illustrations throughout.
A fuzzy caterpillar inches through the tall grass from sunny afternoon to firefly-lit night, crunching and munching past bunnies, ants, and bees along the way.
A little bunny named Nicholas lives in a hollow tree and shows what he loves best about each season, from picking spring flowers to curling up for a winter's sleep.
A little fish paddles through the underwater world, meeting all kinds of fish along the way — spotty, stripy, happy, grumpy, hairy, scary, even curly whirly and twisty twirly.
All the letters of the alphabet race each other up a coconut tree, chanting chicka chicka boom boom, until so many pile on that the whole tree tumbles them down.
