These New Picture Books Are Bound to Be Bunches of Fun!

• Holiday All Year Long with Pomp, Snow, and Circqueumstance by NEIL GOLDBERG. As December ends, best friends POMP, SNOW, and CIRQUEumstance wrap up Christmas and prepare for more holidays around the world. They study the calendar and set out to brighten holidays all year. When their gifts don't match each day quite right, there's only one sprite who can help: FESTINA! With her wisdom, knowledge, and powers, she rewinds time so the trio can celebrate each holiday's traditions with the special care they deserve.
• I Do Not Eat Children by MARCUS CUTLER. A big orange creature lurks in a crowded playground... but don't worry! He would never eat a child. Kids are definitely not disappearing every time you turn a page. You're imagining things...
• Kadooboo!: A Silly South Indian Folktale by SHRUTHI RAO. As soon as it’s ready, Kabir runs home with some to share. But wait... can he remember the treat’s name? (His Amma is sure to ask!) Of course he can! That is, if fun and friends aren’t too distracting along the way... As Kabir makes his way home, the sights and sounds of the street and interactions with friends start to jumble his memory. Could he possibly remember the right name?
• Smarty Marty Takes the Field by AMY GUTIERREZ & illustrated by ANIKA ORROCK. Marty already proved her baseball chops, and so this time she's making a play for manager, something no girl has ever done in her town’s Little League history! Unfortunately, not everyone thinks she can do it, but a chance encounter with a very special trailblazer gives her the courage to turn her fear into opportunity.
