Quick reviews of some of my favorite reads

NINE MONTHS by Miranda Paul

6/5/2019

 NINE MONTHS strikes the perfect balance between age-appropriate information about the development of a baby, and preparing an older sibling for the arrival of a new family member.  The book features Jason Chin's fantastic, scientifically correct illustrations on each left hand page, coupled with a loving family preparing for the new baby on each right hand page.  Economic language use, steady rhythm, and gentle rhyme make NINE MONTHS a comforting read to share with young children.  However, life-size illustrations and informative back matter provide educational tie-ins that take this book well beyond the preschool crowd. NINE MONTHS was named a 2019 Boston Globe- Horn Book Non-Fiction Honor book.
