Amazon Bestseller

What started as a joke, author Adam Mansbach posted on Facebook, “Look out for my forthcoming children’s book, ‘Go the — to Sleep". After an enormous positive online response, he decided to write a few verses and bring this creation into reality. The NYT reports that the title alone has pushed Adam Mansbach's unreleased book up the Amazon bestseller charts before it hits the stores in October. I love the cover illustration with the moon hitting the perfect spot. Can't wait to see the rest of it!

Iggy Peck and Follow the Line

This book is amazing: Iggy Peck, Architect by Andrea Beaty and Illustrated by David Roberts. I love the detailed illustrations down to the children's hairstyles and textured socks (I mean check out the pattern on Iggy's Nordic sweater in the photo above). The story and witty rhyming makes this the perfect book for your little one. I picked this up for my nephew and he loved it (although I think his dad loves it even more)! Follow the determination of creative young architect, Iggy Peck as he accomplishes his dreams despite his disagreeing teacher that tries to stand in his way. Iggy Peck will inspire kids and spark their appreciation for architecture. You definitely won't get tired of reading this bedtime story.

Also, check out Follow the Line by Swedish illustrator Laura Ljungkvist.  The concept of this book is simple - follow the line starting from the cover through city and country, building counting and vocab skills by solving riddles along the way. The graphics are clear and clever and the charming colors give the illustrations a fifties retro feel. She has turned this book into a series with Follow the Line Around the World and Follow the Line Around the House. Can't wait to check them out!
