Last week, I wrote here<\/a><\/strong> about the deep thoughts of Charise Mericle Harper’s<\/a><\/strong> The Good for Nothing Button!<\/em> (Disney, May 2017) and Susan Hood’s<\/a><\/strong> Double Take! A New Look at Opposites<\/em> (Candlewick), illustrated by Jay Fleck<\/a><\/strong> and coming to shelves in June. <\/p>\n

I’m following up with some art from each book today. <\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
