Fighting Words by Kimberley Brubaker Bradley

I really love Julian is a mermaid. A beautiful book about acceptance without hitting you over the head with the message.

My kids loved the piggie and elephant booms and any books by Mo Williems

My boys and I really liked Carl Hiaasen's books like Hoot, Squirm, and Scat.

I love paper dolls!! That book really makes me teary eyed. I also like finding the butterfly in each scene.

OP, Check out the Doll People book series, ny Anne Martin.
LOVE!!!!!!!

OP--I will definitely check out Paper Dolls because I love so many other Julia Donaldson. In addition to Room on the Broom and Gruffalo, I really love The Snail and the Whale.

Wild Robot blew me away. It is so good, and I love the illustrations as well. I love a lot of Peter Brown's picture books too (Curious Garden, Mr Tiger Goes Wild) but they don't compare to Wild Robot.

I grew up loving Little House but have mixed feelings about it as an adult/to pass on to my kids. I recently read Pairie Lotus on a rec and I ADORE it and hope my kids will too.

Mo Willems Pidgeon books and the Llama Llama books are also really fun to read.

Press Here and The Night Animals

Night Animals makes us laugh every time.

Someone on the other thread posted books that she likes more than the books she remembers, so I thought I would create a spin off thread.

What newer kids' books do you love?

My favorite hands down is a book called Paper Dolls by Julia Donaldson. I'd love to find someone else who has read & liked the book as I feel kind of weird about how much I love it.
