Gotta Go!, illustrated, graphic novel-esque that flows with fun

Why do children want to read books? For illustrated book audiences they want to read books because they’re weird, grab their attention, or have characters/situations that they know. It can be any one of those three or a combination of them. Gotta Go! is an illustrated book that runs with weirdness. Well it kind of runs, more accurately it waddles, twists, and oozes originality out of every panel. Panel, yes, Gotta Go! flows like a graphic novel, but is in an illustrated book package. The result is something that’s overwhelming fresh, original and probably not what you’re expecting.

Gotta Go! is not what you think. It’s not a book about potty training. Instead, it’s a funny book about distracting yourself after you’ve recently mastered that flow.

The Longest Storm is a timeless, new classic for the forever library

When The Longest Storm arrived at our house it felt like an old friend had come back home. It’s the first book that we’ve read by author/illustrator Dan Yaccarino, and we’re admittedly late to the party. Parents who have elementary-aged kids know his work from The Backyardigans, Doug Unplugged, I Am A Story, or any of his other creations that channel the feelings and emotions of that age. For us, The Longest Storm reminded us of a classic that we loved as a child, Harry The Dirty Dog. Yaccarino’s art style, the brevity of words, the stark-yet natural choice of colors, and the universal story make this a book that any young reader will enjoy.

The Longest Storm is a timeless, new-classic that melds a scarcity of words, stark colors, fabulous illustrations and a story any kid can understand.
Yeowza, here’s a book that says so much, while having such few words
