a sea shell, dim sum, forgotten cows and a mama that zooms...

Here are four more great books for kiddos featuring a variety of faces and fun. I apologize for the blurriness of some of the photos, my trusty old Rebel took a dive on our last road trip and my new camera just arrived two days ago. Since I had been gearing up for picture book month, I had already taken photos of thirty different children's books! Yay for reading!

Simms Taback 1932-2011

 Simms Taback was an author and illustrator who used a lot of happy color. He was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 2000 for Joseph Had a Little Overcoat. If you have not had the pleasure of reading any of his books, I recommend you hit up your local bookstore or library for a read or two or three. I grew up with his illustrations. Mr. Taback passed away this past Sunday. Rest in peace and color, rest in peace and color...
