The Den That Octopus Built by Randi Sonenshine
Don't Trust Fish by Neil Sharpson
"Hilarious mildly informational book that presents facts in a fun way while jokingly telling you to be suspicious of fish. Tickles the funny bone. This book is a perfect blend of educational and humor. It's a great book to read aloud and the kids respond to it very well! I read this at story-time and my group was all giggles. It's the perfect book for making learning fun." -- nominators
A Friend for Eddy by Ann Kim Ha
"An unlikely friendship - does it spell danger? Attractive pictures showing an interesting perspective. And how first impressions are not always correct, but someone may also surprise you." -- nominator
Parrotfish Has a Superpower by Jill Esbaum
"A wildly enthusiastic presentation of a somewhat niche fact (that parrotfish generate much of the world's beach sand), followed by a fun true-false quiz to extend/reinforce the learning." -- nominator
The Search for Carmella by Chloe Savage
"Creative look at science and exploration - while also showing through illustrations that we sometimes miss things when we are focused on something else." -- nominator
