New Childrens Books at the Vineland Public Library

We've got lots of new children's books. Here are some of my favorite new picture books that arrived yesterday.

Spot It! by Delphine Chedru
Fans of the I Spy series will enjoy Spot It! Look for different animals on each double page spread. It might be a baby chick, a fox, a peacock or an owl. Can you find them all?

Tía Isa Wants a Car by Meg Medina
Tía Isa wants a car to taker herself and her niece to the beach. A shiny green car that's the same color as the ocean. But money is tight-they're also saving money to send to family members who live far away. But Tía Isa's niece wants her aunt to have her car, so helps earn money in little ways. And finally, they have enough money to buy the perfect car to take them to the beach. (JE Med)

How to Teach a Slug to Read by Susan Pearson
A young boy explains to Mama Slug the best way to teach her little slug how to read. Just follow his simple rules! This can also apply to human parents and their little ones. (JE Pea)

Pig Kahuna by Jennifer Sattler
Fergus and his little brother love the beach! They find great treasures that have been brought in by the waves. But they never go in the water because Fergus knows that there's more than treasure in the water: there is also lurking, murky ickiness. So what do they do when the waves bring in a surfboard that nobody wants? (JE Sat)

Splish, Splash, Splat! by Rob Scotton
My favorite cat Splat returns in a new picture book. Splat is not looking forward to his playdate with Spike because he knows that Spike will eat all his candy fish and play with his toys until they break. Things can't get any worse, until Splat learns that he has his first swimming lesson today. If there is anything worse than a playdate with Spike, it is water. Water is horrible, scary and wet! But Splat soon learns that he and Spike have more in common than he thought. And maybe water isn't as bad as he thought.
