Big Bear Hug
by Nicholas Oldland
Kids Can Press
ISBN: 978-1554534647
What is it?
A picture book about a bear "so filled with love and happiness" that he hugs every creature he encounters in the forest, including (and especially) the trees. But what will happen when a man with an axe enters the forest and starts chopping down one of Bear's beloved trees? Will Bear hug him or eat him?
What do we love about it?
The startled faces of the various creatures (rabbit, moose, bird, skunk, snake, beaver) who find themselves locked in Bear's loving embrace made us laugh and snort at the same time. Truly, the toothsome beaver looks like he's about to wet his pants...if he had pants, that is.
What does it remind us of?
Ferdinand the Bull. Like the peaceful Ferdinand, Bear is a gentle, nature-loving soul trapped in the body of a ferocious-looking beast.
What is it perfect for?
Share this sweet, funny book with kids on Earth Day (April 22), World Hug Day (Jan 21), or any day a good bear hug is in order.
What do we say about it?
We love this bear! He can hug our trees any time.

Three things we love about Dian Curtis Regan:
1. Dian has written more than fifty (50!) books for children, including our recent favorite, Barnyard Slam (illustrated by Paul Meisel), starring Yo Mama Goose and a cast of poetry-spouting farm friends.
2. She collects trivia about redheads. (Chick Trivia: In our next life we three chicks hope to be reincarnated as Carol Burnett, Lucille Ball, and Myrna Loy -- all fabulously funny redheaded ladies.)
3. She also collects walruses. Really.
Without further ado, we give you the lovely redheaded Dian Curtis Regan...
First act as Dictator for Life?
Make the world gather every Saturday afternoon at the park to learn how to play nice together.
What kids lit character would you like to vote off the island?
The mother in Love You Forever.
What kids lit character would you share your last twinkie with?
Katniss from The Hunger Games—as long as she didn’t poison my twinkie.
What TV family would you like to be adopted by?
I could live in Oprah’s world.
Worst job in the universe?
Filing rejection letters.
Dream job for a day?
Casting characters for the Princess Nevermore movie.
Marx Brothers or Three Stooges?
Marx Brothers, whose poster was on the wall in my office closet for years.

A Three Silly Chicks' Pick
Sunday Loveby Alison Paul
Houghton Mifflin Books for Children
ISBN 978-0-618-99184-6
What is it?
A mostly wordless wonder which tells the tale of a forlorn convict (complete with stripes, ball and chain) looking for his true love. The illustrations follow his clever escape and the Keystone Cop chase that follows from from to frame of this clever book.
What do we love about it?
The black and white and red illustrations brimming with funny details and subplots. We found ourselves flipping back and forth from page to page just to soak in more of the fun.
What does it remind us of?
Reminds us that we clearly need more time to enjoy the good things in life -- like ice cream sundaes and this book!
What is it perfect for?
It's perfect for anyone who loves ice cream, cops and robbers, and pouring over treasure maps.
What do we think?
Sunday Love is a delectable treat from start to finish. Kids will revisit this one over and over and over . . .

The Hiccupotamus
Written and Illustrated by Aaron Zenz
Marshall Cavendish Children
ISBN: 928-0-7614-5622-3
What is it?
A very silly rhyming tale of a hippo with the hiccups and the lengths to which his friends will go to cure him.
What do we love about it?
The silly text with its made-up words gets a great big grin from us.
What does it remind us of?
Sing-songy jump-rope rhymes and playground clapping songs. It also reminds us of limericks but not the kind they tell on a certain island off Cape Cod, if you know what we mean. . . . And we suspect that you do.
What is it perfect for?
This book is great for getting kids jazzed up. That makes it a good choice for a quick classroom read before recess or trip to the park where kids can get their sillies out.
What do we say about it?
The Hiccupotamus is silly, silly, silly! And you know we're all about that!

Three things you should know about Adam Selzer:
1. He's a ghostbuster. Really.
2. He's just started a new blog called Playground Jungle where he collects subversive songs, rhymes and stories told on the playground throughout the ages. (Mama mia, papa pia!)
3. When he is not out and about uncovering paranormal phenomena or naughty ditties, he writes awesomely funny books on everything from American History to Zombies.
Without further ado, we give you the one and only Adam Selzer...
First act as Dictator for Life?
A law forcing George Lucas to admit publicly that Han Solo shot Greedo not in self defense, but in cold blood, on that grim afternoon in the Mos Eisley cantina. Such an act will gain me the respect of the peasants - even dictators occasionally get their heads cut off by an angry mob of peasants. But they'll never turn on the man who issued the Han Shot First decree.
What kids lit character would you like to vote off the island?
Warren Hatcher (Fudge's dad) as he appears in Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing. He's very much an old fashioned hapless father who knows nothing about raising children in that one (though he's seen the error of his ways and become a much better fellow by Superfudge - a fun thing about those books is that the characters age only a few years, but 30 years have pretty clearly elapsed over the course of the series).
What kids lit character would you share your last twinkie with?
Hmm...you'd want to give it to someone historical, wouldn't you? I'd much rather give my last twinkie to someone who was getting the chance to eat one for the first time. Anne of Green

Billy Twitters and His Blue Whale Problem
Written by Mac Barnett
Illustrated by Adam Rex
Hyperion
ISBN: 978-0-7868-4958-1
What is it?
The tale of Billy Twitters, a boy who prefers not to clean his room, brush his teeth, eat his baked peas--Who could blame him on that one?-- or do anything he's supposed to do. Even under threat of being given a blue whale by his parents, Billy slacks off. When his folks make good on the threat, Billy learns some valuable lessons about being a responsible member of society. (Or not!!!!)
What do we love about it?
We love the pairing of Mac Barnett's wonderfully absurd idea with Adam Rex's delightfully realistic illustrations. We especially love the directions for taking care of the blue whale--complete with airline-style instructions for evacuation if needed.This book is funny AND practical!
Who is it perfect for?
Any kid with a healthy sense of absurdity who likes to push the limits a bit. (Or a lot!)
What we think?
Billy Twitters and his Blue Whale Problem is a whale of a funny tale. Or a tail of a very funny whale. We have certainly learned a valuable lesson from this funny book. When your mom tells you to finish your baked peas or she'll buy you a blue whale, believe her. Just sayin'!
