Grumpy Monkey Poop!
Baby-Toddler–Jim Panzee (aka Grumpy Monkey) has something new to be grumpy about in this comical board book. As the story opens, Jim needs to poop, but he doesn’t want to for lots of different reasons. His friends give suggestions of places he could go, but he keeps finding excuses for why each one doesn’t work for him: too dirty, too busy, too smelly. It quickly becomes clear that he won’t always be able to find the right place at the right time.

SOY SAUCE! | Kirkus Reviews
While this is a fairly bland treatment compared to Deborah Lee Rose and Carey Armstrong-Ellis’ The Twelve Days of... Rabe follows a young girl through her first 12 days of kindergarten in this book based on the familiar Christmas carol. The typical firsts of school are here: riding the bus, making friends, sliding on the playground slide, counting, sorting shapes, laughing at lunch, painting, singing, reading, running, jumping rope, and going on a field trip.

RIDE, ROLL, RUN | Kirkus Reviews
School’s out! It’s 3 p.m., and a group of friends have pent-up energy to release as they slowly head home. Brief rhyming couplets, consisting almost solely of action phrases with a dose of onomatopoeia for fun, capture kids riding skateboards (“Step, push, / Glide, whoosh!”), biking, swinging across monkey bars, playing a variety of games, forming a street band (“Clap, clang. / Bam, bang! / Boom, bop. / Rhythms drop!”), and finally getting drenched in the spray of a hydrant.
A PARLIAMENT OF OWLS
by Devin Scillian ; illustrated by Sam Caldwell ‧ Readers learn the collective nouns for groups of animals in this picture book. Rollicking rhymes introduce each group: “A parliament of owls was the first to arrive. / They perched in a tree up high. / A tower of giraffes glided in next, / their heads nearly touching the sky.” A light-skinned child with a cloud of red hair sits in a tree clutching a camera, but readers will only learn the reason for the gathering at the end.

by Diane deGroat ; illustrated by Diane deGroat ‧ A comic-book hero and a real boy share an adventure. In the opening pages, Robo-Kid successfully averts a disaster.

HOW TO BE A ROCK STAR
by Lisa Tolin ; illustrated by Daniel Duncan ‧ How do you become a rock star? It’s easier than you might think! In this tongue-in-cheek tale, a raven-haired, olive-skinned child calmly offers suggestions from their own experience, such as using stuffed animals for backup vocals, and, when Mom won’t buy an electric guitar, riffing passionately on a broom. The suggestion that creates the most fodder for ironic text and sight gags is letting one’s little brother into the band.
