April Recommendations for Kids

Fiction

11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass - Amanda and Leo were born on the same day and have always celebrated their parties together and have been the best of friends—until their 10th birthday. Now, a year later they are stuck having their 11th birthday parties separately. They become stuck repeating their birthday over and over, and begin to experiment by making different choices hoping to escape the time trap.

Dinosaur vs. Bedtime by Bob Shea - A small, fierce, red dinosaur takes on the world, fighting against a big pile of leaves (ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!), a plate of spaghetti ("ROAR! CHOMP! CHOMP! ROAR! ROAR!"), or bath time and tooth brushing (ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!). The result of each battle is the proud announcement, “Dinosaur wins!” but what happens when Dinosaur faces the biggest challenge of all, bedtime? A delightful bedtime story for all dino-lovers.

What REALLY Happened to Humpty? by Jeanie Ransom - When Humpty Dumpty fell off of the Wall, everyone said it was an accident, but Joe Dumpty, a hard-boiled detective and Humpty's brother has his suspicions. Can he crack the case? An amusing romp through Mother Goose begs to be shared.
