Check out these great new children's books!

Check out these great new books we’ve just added to our Children’s collection!

                First up we have Bone Hollow by Kim Ventrella, which is about Gabe, who is on top of a roof trying to rescue a chicken when a tornado strikes. We also have Cogheart by Peter Bunzl, about a girl named Lily, whose inventor father disappears after he invents what may be the most valuable invention ever created. Third up we have The Moon Within by Aida Salazar, a novel in verse about Celi, who is worried about the changes happening to her, until she discovers that her best friend is possibly about to go through changes Celi wasn’t even aware of.

                We also have some new picture books and non-fiction books. One picture book is called The Good Egg by Jory John, about an egg who believes he has to be perfect compared to all of the other eggs in his carton. One of our new non-fiction books is called Borrowing Bunnies by Cynthia Lord, a true story about the author’s fostering of two bunnies.

                We have tons of other new books too. Be sure to check them out in our Children’s Room and on our online catalog!
