Just Add Glitter by Angela DiTerlizzi

The text is pretty bland, but my four-year-old loved the illustrations -- especially running her fingers over the texture of the glitter. I liked that the book sent the message that too much glitter can be a bad thing. I'm not sure if it will get though to the intended audience, but at least the author tried to temper the glitter mania that ravages clothing, carpets, etc.

A Very Cranky Book by Angela DiTerlizzi

In the grand tradition of books that talk to their readers (see also: I Will Chomp You, The Book With No Pictures), this Very Cranky Book does not want to be read: "You should go find something else to do." The cranky book insists "there is no story time today!" at which a pink-covered book with a gold crown and wings announces, "Gather round, friends. Story time is about to begin!" Feeling jealous and left out, the cranky book allows as how they've had a change of mood, and offers, "Let's read together, but not with all these other books - just you and me. Okay?" The art was created with "an actual book" and "Photoshop magic."

Just silly enough to coax a cranky reader out of a bad mood, and visually lively. Could be a good choice for storytime!… (more)
