Did you ever read Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh?
Great kid's book.

#CurrentlyReading Delphine and the Silver Needle by Alyssa Moon. Just starting this so I can't say much about it, but it is from Disney and is about a mouse.

I am really into #KidLit right now. I have been reading a ton of junior fiction and middle grade books. So I will have more recommendations for the kids in your life soon.

@bookstodon #Kidlit recommendations continued...

Breadwinner is a graphic novel about a girl in Afghanistan who has to dress like a boy in order to get food and work to help her family after her father was imprisoned.

Beetle and the Hollowbones is a YA graphic novel about a young goblin and her friend. It is a Stonewall Honor Book and was an exciting adventure saving Blob Ghost.

Some #KidLit recommendations from what I have been reading lately.

Nick and Tesla's High Voltage Danger Lab was a great middle grade book about two kids staying with their inventor uncle over the summer. This is the first in the series.

The Questioneers series is a fun junior fiction series (1st through 3rd grades). The books are all STEAM centered and are based on the children's book Ada Twist, Scientist.

Stephanie McMillan has a children's book "Songbird Fly!" out now, in case you weren't aware.

It can be found here, for free as a pdf: https://shop.stephaniemcmillan.org/collections/books-calendars/products/songbird-fly-digital-version

It seems kinda imperfect and could be improved (in depth critiques reserved for now), but its best point is probably it's liberatory-ness *ahem* and being quite unique in its wholesome valuation of the natural world, in ways most children's books are probably oblivious to even the concept of; and with strong anti-capitalist political beliefs and underpinnings. It does leave some possible abrupt questions at the end. It showcases some political organizing.
It rhymes, has characteristic engaging cartoons and bright colours.
If you're looking for English-language children's books that value nature this would probably be a good one if you can tolerate some questions. If you're looking for free anti-capitalist children's books this seems a great one.

I was looking through some old stuff recently and came across this: When I was 6 or 7, I wrote a fan letter to author and illustrator Arnold Lobel, and he sent me back this amazing drawing and handwritten letter. We had his Frog and Toad books, Fables, Mouse Soup, and my favorite at the time, Owl at Home.

My heart is so full rediscovering this! I wish I could tell him now that I grew up to be an illustrator myself. This is definitely getting framed.

@haq @stylo_the_unicorn it's true! I highly recommend the Chimpanzees of Happytown, in which the titular chimps overthrow the municipal government and procede to make everything rad!

I also recently enjoyed the Delicious Plums of King Oscar the Bad, in which a kingdom deals with its monarch and determines the best way to redistribute the plums!

Rabbit’s Snow Day - by Todd Strader, Illustrated by Penny Collins

Received this lovely children’s story for Christmas, with beautiful illustrations. It’s a short story, followed by lots of information on wild/pet rabbits. 💜

@jeroenclemens Well... if you want suggestions you may want people who know about #education and #childrenslit to #PrimaryEducation

It seems that @PrimaryEducation @a.gup.pe isn't a thing but who knows maybe #Educators will see this and use it? @primaryeducation

https://bookriot.com/new-childrens-books-january-2023/

This looks like a really good list. There are definitely a few going on my list.

Latest read, The Wind in the Willows (1908) by Kenneth Grahame.
The misadventures of the car-loving, speed-loving braggadocio, Mr. Toad, and his friends Rat, Badger, & Mole.
Never read this before. It's marvelous. I laughed and smiled a lot. Good-natured and charming, a joy.
Grahame's voice is instantly familiar; there is no Winnie the Pooh or Hobbit without this book. The Piper at the Gates of Dawn chapter must also have affected C.S. Lewis.

@dianemagras I reblogged your post & also wanted to say I’ll be teaching Children’s Lit this spring for the first time (long story); it wasn’t my area of study but I’m learning so much & I have attempted my own book for littles at one point… #KiddyLit #ChildrensLit

Two #holiday gifts for myself! One book and one web site!
The #OER #ChildrensLit textbook went live this morning on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3BYfAVG Here's where you can find the free digital versions: https://bit.ly/238-ChildrensLitOER
And, recently, I've wanted an "official" site for my teaching stuff, so here is that Google Site: https://bit.ly/SAPTEACHINGSITE
