Has "Story Time" Become "Bore-y Time" at Your House?


Might be time to refresh your children’s hardcover picture/story book library. We've got several new titles - all are in excellent condition - nearly new - and priced at $2.00 each. Choose from:

“The Pet Shop Revolution” by Ana Juan **SOLD**
As the title promises, the animals revolt over their mean, scowling owner who seems to care more about his toupee and his pride than his fuzzy and feathered charges. With the help of a sympathetic young neighbor, watch the critters turn the tables! Favorite illustrations: the sad toucan and Mr. Walnuts’s Dr. Dentons.

“My Best, Best Friend” by Lauren Child
What little one hasn’t felt like a third wheel at some point in their youth? In this Charlie & Lola story, jealousy and friendship take front and center stage when Lola’s very best friend Lotta starts swapping lunches with a new girl and Lola’s insecurities take over.

“Mario and Baby Gia” by Mario Lopez. Illustrated by Maryn Roos
In  this likable story of a boy who’s feeling cross when has to babysit on his birthday, Mario’s toddling cousin Gia teaches him a thing or two about family values. Written for his daughter, author Mario Lopez adds “children’s author” to his resume that already includes Broadway, tv sitcoms, dancing competitions, entertainment hosting and fitness writing.  Where does he find the time?

“Guess How Much I Love You – Pop-Up Edition” by Sam McBratnay, Illustrated by Anita Jeram
The classic “love you to the moon and back” story goes 3-D with delightful pop-up pages and pull tabs for the toddler/pre-school set. It’s in very good to excellent condition, with only one non-working tab.

Other titles include “The Yellow House” by Blake Morrison & Illustrated by Helen Craig; “Polka Dot Penguin Pottery” by Lenore Look & Illustrated by Yumi Heo; and “The Great Bear” by Libby Gleeson & Illustrated by Armin Greder.

There’s also a board book called the “Little Black Book” – full of pictures of cats and hats and other everyday ebony objects that invites babies to touch & feel, lift the flap and scratch & sniff. (This book is also in fine shape - even the scratch and sniff spot still works - mmmm...licorice!) This one's just $1.50! 

Find them all in the Childrens Section.
