Not Just for Children

Not Just for Children

A list by Emily, Customer Service Specialist

These are the picture books that make me smile every time they come across the desk. They tackle subjects in fun ways, make jokes for the adults while still being funny for the kids, have great artwork, and are just all around must haves. 

Books

A classic. You can't go wrong with any of the Laura Numeroff books. The repetition is good for kids, and the artwork is so fun. Warning: her books may make you hungry.

This has been a favorite since it first came across my desk. Who doesn't love a story with knights, dragons, and pizza?!

I dare you to read this without doing an Australian accent. It's impossible and so much fun. Also very informative!

I love the artwork and it teaches a great lesson in a fun way.

This is a book that tests how many books a person really needs. Spoiler alert: more than most people have room for, which is where the library becomes such a benefit!

I love books with colors. And flamingos. And food. This has it all and more.

Another favorite from recent years. More flamingoes, more colors, and the most important lesson of all: be yourself unapologetically.
