Last week at Kirkus, I wrote here about three new picture books perfect for the toddler and preschool set — Mem Fox’s Ducks Away! (Scholastic, January 2018), illustrated by Judy Horacek; Galia Bernstein’s I am a Cat (Abrams, February 2018), and Philippa Leathers’ The Tiptoeing Tiger (Candlewick, February 2018).
Today, I’ve got a bit of art from each book.
Enjoy!
(Note: See an interview with Galia Bernstein here at Mel Schuit’s wonderful blog.)

Cats and ducks and tigers, oh my!
I have chosen so many books for storytime based on the illustrations and text that you post. Thank you.
Also, thank you for trying to attend our Mock Caldecott meeting. Sorry for the tech problems.
