Review of the Day: Big by Vashti Harrison
Today we look at one of the latest National Book Award nominees, and the only picture book in the batch.
Review of the Day: Evergreen by Matthew Cordell
A squirrel heroine. An epic adventure. Delicious hints of familiar fairy tales (Little Red Riding Hood, naturally), and tasty treats. For the anxious child, Evergreen may well be the hero they’ve always needed.
