At first glance the next two books I’m sharing for National Library Week from Sleeping Bear Press may seem to be just for the little guys, but don’t be fooled. While these books are for younger kiddos, they are fun for both boys and girls alike.
Buster: The Little Garbage Truck :: while I know many a little boy who is fascinated with garbage trucks this story is not just for the little guys. Buster is a little garbage truck who wants to grow up to be a big truck like his dad. Buster practices lifting, beeping, and driving with his best friend Kitty and even goes to work with his dad one day. But there is just one problem for little Buster – he is VERY afraid of loud noises. When put to the test of facing his fear or losing a friend will Buster triumph? This is a great book from Marcia Berneger for little ones who may have a fear of their own to overcome and the adorable illustrations by Kevin Zimmer bring Buster and his adventures to life without making Buster’s fears scary for young readers. Ages 4-6; 32 Pages
The Flying Hand of Marco B. :: who hasn’t had fun flying their hand out the car window? As little Marco B. experiences in this book, it is quite the joyous feeling as you wave your hand up and down and soar on the breeze. Told in rhyming text, this humorous be-careful-what-you-wish-for tale from lets children soar right along with their imaginations. This is one little boy who has a great imagination, and thanks to author Richard Leiter and illustrator Shahar Koher, we get to go along for the ride! Ages 5-7; 24 Pages
