Mystery: Agent Lion by David Woman and Jacky Davis

Fluffy the cat is Missing, and it’s up to the charmingly oblivious Agent Lion to crack the case! After a thorough search of the apartment building from the rooftop to the bottom floor, even searching through the refrigerators (for jelly donuts though, of course), and still no sign of Fluffy, Agent Lion is going to need to put his best detective skills to work to solve this mystery. Filled with hilarious mishaps, a herd of wacky animals, and plot twists and turns, this reading adventure will gear you up to go out and solve your own mystery (with a jelly doughnut in hand!)

The whole circus pitches in, trying to charm even the slightest giggle out from Baby Clown~ or at least get him to stop crying…Frieda and Boffo drive him around in the tiny clown car, the trapeze artists fling themselves through the air, the circus animals perform astounding animal acrobatics, but still, Baby Clown cried. What will it take to turn this clown front upside down? This spunky narrative paired with hilarious, expressive illustrations creates a laugh-out-lead read of a frazzled circus family and their newest member. Published by Candlewick Press.

Heartwarming: “We Are Together” by Britta Teckentrup

We are strong and capable on our own, but together, when we join hand-and-hand and become a team, we soar to new heights. Together, we support each other, push each other on, encourage each other, and share joy. This is a vibrant, sweet read about the power of connection, the strength we draw from friendship, and the beauty of the love that we share. The illustrations contain the creative element of peek-through pages, with little paper cut outs revealing an ever-growing community of supporting friends.

Prepare for an adventure packed read~ filled with pirate ships and swashbuckling voyages, and castles with princes and royal feasts. With a little bit of imagination, one outdoor fort snug in the middle of the woods will be your launching point for each of these action-packed adventures. But when one little boy and girl can’t agree on which adventure to embark on, can they come up with a new adventure together? Prepare to be whisked away into these imaginative worlds through colorful, detailed illustrations that bring this story to life!
