I’ve got art today from Michael Rosen’s A Great Big Cuddle: Poems for the Very Young (Candlewick, September 2015), illustrated by Chris Riddell, as a follow-up to my column on that last week.

(Scholastic, August 2015), written by Kes Gray and illustrated by Jim Field. But I have a couple of illustrations today, so those are below too.
