    3 New Release Board Books

    The 3 fun new board books listed here are the titles we feel represent the best of March 2018. Ready. Set. Read!


    LlamaphonesLlamaphones

    Written and Illustrated by Janik Coat

    Publisher’s Synopsis: Llamaphones, Janik Coat’s much-anticipated follow-up to Hippopposites and Rhymoceros, features witty words that sound the same but are spelled differently—and have different meanings. Like the other books in the series, this one features surprising novelties, including a touch-and-feel element, making homophones an easy and fun concept to learn.

    Book Black Bird Yellow SunBlack Bird Yellow Sun

    Written and Illustrated by Steve Light

    Publisher’s Synopsis: From the creator of Have You Seen My Dragon? comes an exploration of color that truly soars.

    As a solitary black bird wings its way through the day, little ones are treated to a magnificent flight from one vibrant color to another. Inimitable illustrator Steve Light showcases a new style in this board book for the youngest readers. Children can journey with the graceful black bird and its tiny worm friend past orange leaves, through green grass, onto gray rocks, under pink flowers, and more before coming to rest beneath a brilliant blue moon.
