A feel-good picture book about best friendship told with dry comedy
and an open ending--squirrel and mushroom are best friends until
another best friend comes to play. This morning when I was out
walking, I found a best friend. At least I think so. It certainly
looks a lot like it! He really has a best friend kind of face. In
this funny picture book exploring a forever childhood question
about friendship, squirrel and a mushroom explore the forest
through the seasons, show each other special trees, build snow
mushrooms, share the good times and bad--which become good bad
times alongside a friend. Then spring arrives, and so does a new
friend. And then another. This raises a profound question for an
overthinking squirrel: should we have just one best friend?

“Raphael loves Jerome. I say it. It’s easy.”
This story follows a little boy named Raphael, whose daily rhythm is
steeped in his immense affection for his friend Jerome. The two boys
share jokes and snacks and plan future adventures to the Himalayas.
Even when Raphael’s constant talk of Jerome is driving his parents
crazy, he remains steadfast: “Raphael loves Jerome. I can say it. It’s
easy.” And the truth is, when he’s with Jerome, Raphael feels happy,
liked, and understood― even special. Thomas Scotto’s simple, strong,
and insightful prose and Olivier Tallec’s delightful, expressive
illustrations give much emotion and immediacy to the story.
The squirrel loves a particular tree and is happiest eating
pinecones in its shade. But then the squirrel starts to worry. What
if someone else decides it's THEIR tree? What if that someone wants
to eat THEIR pinecones in the shade of THEIR tree? Should the
squirrel build a gate? Or maybe a wall? Yes, a wall. The squirrel
will build a long and high wall that no one can get over or around.
Only, now that there's a wall, how can the squirrel know what's on
the other side of it? Maybe a better tree is out there, full of
pinecones. Maybe even a whole forest of better trees...

Here Tallec portrays two characters, separated only by narrow
walls, who watch each other ceaselessly through the seasons. Moving
between day and night, long stretches at their binoculars, and
mundane daily tasks, they fight their cold war, full of suspicion,
never daring to bridge the gap between them.
As time passes, a snail shows up, and then a bird, and one day, to
their utter surprise, they come face-to-face in a different way,
and they discover that their differences don't make them enemies.
"Waterloo & Trafalgar" has a die-cut cover and interior
section-cut flip pages, all of which contribute to allowing the
reader to see things in different ways. And that, in the end, is so
much of what this book is about: seeing and seeing otherwise.
The book's protagonist is Michel, an eight-year-old Parisian
boy. His brother Martin, who's twelve, detests him, and he detests
Martin right back. This summer, Michel will go away alone, which
really means without his mom, to stay with his grandparents while
his parents move apartments. To add to the horror, Michel's older
boy cousins will be going, too. As Michel says, "To put it simply,
they are big, strong, and pals with Martin. I am their scapegoat."
Recounted by Michel himself, his vacation doesn't turn out to be
such a complete zero after all. Between a competition to see who
can shower the least, wild bike rides without gear, and a tooth
that finally falls out, Michel discovers both independence and real
moments of happiness.
The text is both very funny and moving, with good reason, for we
see an eight-year-old's vacation with his grandparents and older
cousins through his own eyes, with all of the little things that
are important to a boy of eight: the dumb things that he'll never
tell his mom; the small triumphs; the disregard and mocking of the
older cousins; the shame of having a bathing suit that slips off in
the pool; the freedom of being away from home; and the satisfaction
of overcoming fears. As always, Olivier Tallec's illustrations
render all the emotions of our little hero with an enormous amount
of expressiveness, talent, and sheer gorgeousness.
For little ones reluctant to say good night, this laugh-out-loud
story from beloved author Jory John and internationally acclaimed
illustrator Olivier Tallec will guide them through different
methods of falling asleep--until they might just get tired after
all. ATTENTION, READER: This book is going to MAKE YOU TIRED! It
will CALM YOU DOWN! Yes, this book WILL PUT YOU TO SLEEP! How?
Easy. There are monster trucks dashing across the pages. There are
sheep being chased by dragons. There are electric guitars wailing
throughout. Plus so MUCH MORE! Yep. All the typical stuff that
makes you sleepy. So . . . are you asleep yet? No? Well, maybe
another method would work better . . . So read on, and it's
guaranteed you'll start to snooze!

"Required reading for any prospective dark knights or superheroes."
-Kirkus Reviews Clad in bright suits that bespeak their daring
deeds, these mini heroes, aka kids, live their daily lives assailed
by all sorts of new challenges and uphill battles. Whether jumping
rope on the playground, eating towers of ice-cream, or hanging
upside-down from the ceiling, they are never short of plans and
projects! But sometimes, they have to pause from their daring
adventures, perhaps to take a bath or for the laundry to be done,
which may be the greatest challenge of all! Full of excitement and
loaded with imagination, children see the world differently from
everyone else. When seen as the mini heroes they are, kids inspire
the rest of us to enjoy life.
Families everywhere will recognise themselves in this clever,
hilarious, and completely irresistible picture book. Five minutes
is a lot of time...or is it? Well, it depends on what you're doing,
of course! Follow one little boy and his family on a very busy day,
as he discovers that sometimes five minutes feels like forever -
like when you're finishing up at the dentist's office or waiting in
line for the bathroom or in the backseat on a long car ride - and
sometimes five minutes feels like no time at all - like when you're
playing your favourite game or at the tippy top of a roller coaster
or snuggling up with a book before bedtime.
This fresh, visually sophisticated follow-up to Who Done It? and
Who What Where? tackles the topic of memory, as each page asks the
reader to remember a detail about the characters featured on the
page before. With die-cuts, clever folds, and imaginative
illustrations, this book requires the sharpest readers' keen
attention! The call to action on every page makes this a wonderful
lap read or read-aloud, and kids of all ages will love the memory
games.
