New Board Books
Need a book for Baby? We just got a ton of new board books in at the North Branch! My personal favorites are by Helen Oxenbury: Clap Hands, All Fall Down, Say Goodnight, and Tickle, Tickle. These are medium-sized board books, making it easy for your baby’s still-learning hands to grasp the book and flip through the pages. Each title has eight pages filled with illustrations of multicultural children engaging in various activities described in short, rhythmic rhymes. Together, these elements create a book in which infants will surely be engaged. Beware! Your baby will demand they be read again and again and again and again and again…

Shopping by Rosemary Wells
Ruby and her younger brother Max have fun in the grocery store as they fill their shopping cart with food they love.
