Earlier this year,  I shared a few of my favorite books from the beginning of 2012.  Since then, even more great books have been published.  So, it’s time to share a few more of my top picks from the year!   I wonder if we will see any of these on the Caldecott medal stand come January.

Bear Has a Story to Tell by Stead

Green by Seeger

This is a great one to remember for Earth Day.

Lemonade in Winter by Jenkins is a tale of two siblings who venture out to sell drinks at their winter lemonade stand.  This fun read also introduces basic money counting concepts.

And finally, Boy + Bot by Dyckman
