School Library Journal Board Book Roundup

Check out what School Library Journal had to say about these board books!

Yeah, Baby!:
"Join babies on their daily adventures as they celebrate small victories and milestones. “You said your first word. Yeah baby!/ You learned to dance! Yeah baby!” Each spread features two photographs of a diverse selection of real babies accomplishing each task. Young children will delight in this book and the diversity represented throughout. VERDICT With full-color photos and an upbeat narrative style, this is a purchase for most libraries."


Firefighters by Finn Coyle:
"Firefighters take the community helper spotlight in the latest addition to the “Finn’s Fun Trucks” series. A diverse group of firefighters describes their essential roles by introducing various firefighting vehicles and explaining their functions. “This is a Fire Tanker. Can you guess what it does? A fire tanker is a large truck that can hold lots of water so firefighters can put out fires when hydrants cannot be used or aren’t available.” VERDICT Children fascinated by firefighting will return to this book time and time again, making it a purchase for most libraries.

Think by Katie Wilson:
"Spark endless conversations with this engaging title, where readers are invited to explore and reflect on collaboration and creativity. Each page encourages children to pause and think. “Think about what you can do. Think about what they can do. Think about working together.” Simple illustrations accompany the sparse text, depicting three children building with a cardboard box. This gentle title will prompt conversations, exploration, and creativity. VERDICT This work will be enjoyed by many and could be a first purchase for libraries."
