Here are a few of my recent favorites - mostly silly
- Bardhan-Quallen, Sudipta. 2011. Chicks Run Wild. Ill. by Ward Jenkins. New York: Simon & Schuster.
Wings on hips, she warns those chicks, "No more games and no more tricks!"In the end, Mama beats them at their own game. The illustrations are bright and cheerful and funny. The chick in the over-sized black frame glasses is a riot all by himself!
One quick peck for each sweet child,
she slams the door . . .
those chicks run wild!
Illustrator, Ward Jenkins, offers a great preview and some bonus material on his site. Check it out!
- Czekaj, Jef. 2011. Cat Secrets. New York: Harper.
It has come to my attention that someone other than a cat may be reading this book.None but cats are allowed to read Cat Secrets!
Shame on you.
Hey, you! Yes, you! You don't look much like a cat!

- Dormer, Frank W. 2010. Socksquatch. New York: Henry Holt.
Flowers tremble.with hilarious illustrations in a style reminiscent of your funniest grade school pal's drawings. Funny!
Trees quake.
Socksquatch lumbers.

Got sock?

Thanks for the roundup! I need to find a copy of Chicks Run Wild. You can't beat silly in kindergarten.
