In YARN IS EVERYTHING! by Aaron Reynolds w/art by Peter Brown, an enchanted crochet hook levels up crochet artist Winona Mole's craft, but will there be an unexpected cost? A cautionary tale both creepy & comedic w/the right amount of horror for young & striving readers. #kidlit @ssedlib.bsky.social
In IT'S ALIVE by Joe McGee w/art by Teo Skaffa, 2 kids get more than they bargained for when the drawings made w/their new sidewalk chalk spring to life. W/vibrant art to match the story, this will be a perfect fit for early readers looking for something scary. #kidlit @ssedlib.bsky.social
"Offsay's lyrical text and Cushman's imaginative illustrations take young readers on a trip into a never-before-imagined day under the waves. Kids will have fun with the repetition and increasingly frantic pace of the story. A winner!" @abicushman.com @simonkids.bsky.social @ssedlib.bsky.social
I can't be the only one who remembers the BUNNICULA series, right? Looking forward to introducing more readers to this series w/the graphic novel adaptation of HOWLIDAY INN, which finds Chester, Harold & Bunnicula caught up in a mystery when a dog goes missing. #MGLit @ssedlib.bsky.social
In I WANT EVERYTHING! by @sophyhenn.bsky.social, bold, colorful illustrations & simple, humorous text featuring back & forth interaction between 2 ghosts deliver an important message about valuing personal connections over tangible items. Sweet & definitely not spooky! #kidlit @ssedlib.bsky.social
