A Kids Book A Day

A Kids Book A Day

Each day, I share a review of a book that has been released this year. I select books that I’ve loved, believe would benefit elementary classrooms, and, importantly, that I think kids will enjoy. I have a special theme for each day of the week: Story Time Sundays showcase fiction picture books; Middle Grade Mondays highlight middle grade novels; Third Grade Thursdays focus on early chapter books; and Factual Fridays are dedicated to nonfiction titles. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, I choose books freely.

    Fireworks by Matthew Burgess, illustrated by Cátia Chien (Clarion Books, 44 pages, ages 4-8). Two children describe a summer day in the city, from the sun rising between the buildings on their block, to an open fire hydrant that helps them beat the heat, to the sweet juiciness of a slice of watermelon. This summer day is special, though, and after dinner, they climb to the roof and wait for darkness to fall. An explosion of color and sound lights up the night sky as the fireworks begin.

    A Gift of Dust: How Saharan Plumes Feed the Planet by Martha Breckenbrough, illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal (Knopf Books for Young Readers, 40 pages, grades 1-5). A sunbeam shining through a window illuminates the dust in the air. Where does this dust come from? The author traces it back to a fish in an African lake that dies, eventually becoming a fossil, which the wind then breaks down into dust.

    Creaky Acres by Calista Brill, illustrated by Nilah Magruder (Kokila, 272 pages, grades 3-7). Nora is happiest winning ribbons at shows with her horse Hay Fever, but when her mom gets a new job, the family moves to a small rural town where the only barn around is Creaky Acres. Filled with quirky humans and animals, including a bunch of opossums and an instructor who doesn’t believe in competing, Creaky Acres feels like a huge disappointment to Nora.

    Frank’s Red Hat by Sean E. Avery (Walker Books Australia, 32 pages, ages 4-8). Frank has more ideas than your average penguin, and although they don’t always work out as planned, he keeps trying. When he shows up wearing a red hat before, the other penguins are skeptical, having never seen the color red before. He hands it to Neville for a closer look, and by an unfortunate coincidence, Neville gets swallowed by a killer whale at that very moment.
