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

I also wrote about some new picture book imports a few weeks ago<\/a><\/strong> (here’s<\/a><\/strong> the art-filled follow-up post), and I didn’t get in time some art from Frog on a Log?<\/em> (Scholastic, August 2015), written by Kes Gray<\/a><\/strong> and illustrated by Jim Field<\/a><\/strong>. But I have a couple of illustrations today, so those are below too. <\/p>\n
