Here Are a Bunch of Great Titles and Why To Read Them From Sourcebooks!

Looking for a holiday gift?

For the perfect bedtime story for your little ones, there is THE SNATCHABOOK, author and illustrator Helen & Thomas Docherty’s enchanting, rhyming tale about an adorable little book thief that is stealing all the stories in Burrow Down. Named #1 on the Autumn 2013 Kids’ Indie Next List, Publishers Weekly calls it a “heartwarming tribute to the essential role of bedtime reading in the lives of families.”

For toddlers who love play-time, there is DON’T PUSH THE BUTTON!, author/illustrator Bill Cotter’s interactive take on the “don’t-do-as-I-say” reverse-psychology approach to storytelling. Named an Atlanta Parent magazine Best Book of 2013, this story book is an absurdly fun concept that really drives home to young readers the power of the page turn.  A great pick for reading to a group, this is a book kids will be begging their parents to read to them again and again.

For kids’ whose love of books is as big as their imagination, get swept away with ISABELLA: STAR OF THE STORY by Jennifer Fosberry and Mike Litwin, where everyone’s favorite purple-haired little girl, discovers that reading is an adventurous and magical journey when her parents take her to the library, which turns into a whimsical dreamland of classic children’s literary scenes. USA Today exclaims, “Isabella gives new meaning to jumping into a book.”

What titles are you looking forward to at ALA?

I'm attending ALA in January (much to the chagrin of my parents who think I should be strictly studying) and was wondering what books my readers thought looked amazing or are dying for that might be at ALA.  What are you all looking forward to?  If I can, I can look for a few specific titles to host a giveaway and get them into the hands of a few reviewers!
