Book Envy: Kate and Nate are Running Late


 


Kate and Nate are Running Late!
By Kate Egan
Illustrated by Dan Yaccarino


We stumbled across another Dan Yaccarino picture book at the library on our last visit. I posted about one of his books, Cooking with Henry and Elliebelly, a few weeks ago. His playful and slightly retro style is so entertaining and keeps us on the lookout for new books. Egan's story rings true about the ups and downs of getting a family ready in the morning. A great pairing of words and pictures.

Book Envy: Babylit Series


As if Baby Einstein wasn't enough, you can now ensure your wee one's budding intellect with Babylit Books by Jennifer Adams and artwork by Alison Oliver. Each feature some pretty heavy reading from Romeo and Juliet to Jane Erye. All are skillfully crafted as illustrated Cliff note baby board books. Jane Erye is my favorite with a slightly dark yet playful tone.
