I picked up 3 great new picture books last week.
Alphablock
is going to be my new go-to Baby Gift Book! It was on display at Cover to Cover and it became an instant favorite for me! It is this amazing chunky little alphabet book! The design of this book is amazing as each letter is cut out as a page of its own. The text is predictable and the illustrations are more detailed than I realized at first glance. Really, a pretty perfect book for home and school. The images on the Amazon page will help you see the inside pages.
Outfoxed
by Mike Twohy is one that was on my Goodreads "Want to Read" list. I picked it up at Cover to Cover and laughed out loud. I am trying to read more books with humor as they are not always my faves. This one is quite hysterical and I know my students will love it. (Even my daughter, who is 14, laughed when she read it to herself on the way home from the bookstore.)
Fossil
is a new wordless book from Bill Thomson, author of one of my favorites--Chalk
! I was happy to see this from him and know that kids will make some connections between the two. This one is similar to Chalk with some important differences. Definitely one I am glad to add to my collection of wordless books.

I am not familiar with any of them, and am intrigued by "Fossil", and the concept, the most. Thank you for the suggestions! My own new purchase is "Bully," by Patricia Polacco. Right on the mark, as usual.
