In summer, they meet again and play City Dog games. Mo Willems' spare, poignant text and Jon J. Muth's expressive watercolors team up to tell a story that will resonate with readers of all ages.

by Rachel Isadora
Sunday, May 23, 45PM
In the laugh-out-loud cautionary tale, Doug-Dennis and the Flyaway Fib, a small lie between friends grows bigger until Doug-Dennis is floating in a land of liessome of them big, some small, and some just downright weird. Doug-Dennis misses his best friend, and realizes there's only one way to come back down: by finally telling the truth. In Caldecott Honor winner Rachel Isadora's Say Hello!, eye-catching collages are full of kid-friendly details like colorful storefronts, pigeons, and an ice cream truck, making Carmelita's neighborhood fun to explore. Say Hello! emphasizes the rich diversity of America's neighborhoods. This simple portrait of a child's day provides a great introduction to the joy of language.
