There is such a thing as a perfect picture book - because here is "Waiting," by Caldecott-winner, Kevin Henkes. This quiet gem of a book lets us into the lives of five toys waiting on a windowsill. The lives of children include a lot of waiting, sometimes for things they don't even know about, sometimes without explanation. Nobody explains anything to the toys, but they are content to wait: because sooner or later, something will happen. "Waiting" would make an absolutely priceless baby shower gift - but will I tell you why? No, you'll have to wait and see for yourself. My new favorite picture book. ~ Reviewed by Jennifer Armstrong

Meet Skink: crusty eco-warrior, wealthy hobo, renegade ex-governor. When he teams up with young Richard to track down Richard’s missing cousin Malley, who may have been abducted by a creep she met on-line, the result is pure Hiaasen. Plenty of craziness and one Florida speedboat of a plot. ~ Reviewed by Jennifer Armstrong

This book is a hoot, explaining all the possible things that can go wrong if you bring an alligator to school. The very grumpy narrator apparently learned the hard way that this is NOT A GOOD IDEA! Perfect for preK's up to second graders who need some comic relief to settle their nerves. ~ Reviewed by Jennifer Armstrong

First and second grade teachers (and parents): here's the perfect vehicle for practicing anticipation with your six and seven-year olds. Invite speculation about what Stanley is up to each time the family finds him on yet another project in the wee hours of the morning. Are these wacky fix-it jobs related to each other? What could possibly come next? This book is both funny and charming, with subtle details to notice on additional read-throughs. ~ Reviewed by Jennifer Armstrong
