Book Trailer: Bunny Slopes By Claudia Rueda
Oh my goodness this book looks so adorable! I cannot wait to see it. Just got a look at this trailer and can already imagine how much fun my girls (and myself) will have with it this winter! Here’s a teaser for the fun awaiting in Bunny Slopes by Claudia Rueda!
Book Trailer: The Storm Whale In Winter By Benji Davies
New book trailer this week for Benji Davies latest storm whale adventure! Looks lovely and the music is stellar!
Book Trailer: We Found A Hat By Jon Klassen
It’s been a long time since I posted a book trailer. Mostly because I keep forgetting to. But, this week I came across this newest one from Jon Klassen (brilliantly animated by Fran Krause) and it was too good to not remember to share. The third book in his pseudo hat picture book series is arriving this fall and it looks awesome. Enjoy.
Goodnight Moon Animation Narrated By Susan Sarandon
I hope everyone had a lovely holiday week and are ready for the New Year to arrive. While you await, and rest a lot I hope, you must see this sweet video animation of the classic book, Goodnight Moon, by Margaret Wise Brown, illustrations by Clement Hurd, and marvelous narration by Susan Sarandon. Enjoy!
Also, don’t miss this great article from the Opinion section of the NY Times, What Writers Can Learn From ‘Goodnight Moon.’ Happy New Year!
Book Trailer: Sam & Dave Dig A Hole By Barnett & Klassen
This book looks excellent and the trailer just makes me laugh. I also keep thinking of the digger kids from that old TV show Recess. Anyone else remember that? I can’t wait to spend time with this new collaboration from these two awesome picture book makers. Check out Sam & Dave Dig a Hole by Mac Barnett, illustrated by Jon Klassen, just published in October by Candlewick.
Book Trailer: The Right Word by Bryant and Sweet
Another lovely book trailer for a gorgeous book just released from Eerdmans. Jen Bryant and Melissa Sweet have teamed up for a stunning creation about Peter Roget and his Thesaurus. I recently saw an original piece of art by Melissa Sweet for this at Society of Illustrators and it blew my mind. Her collage illustrations are unparalleled. Check it out! The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus, 2014.
Book Trailer: The Jacket by Hall & Tolstikova
Just heard about a fun book coming out from Enchanted Lion Books. I’m aching to get my hands on a copy and see its book + jacket cover combo in person. I applaud when people use book jackets for good use rather than just duplicating book and cover. Sounds like a sweet plot and the illustrations have me intrigued. Check out the trailer for The Jacket by Kirsten Hall, illustrated by Dasha Tolstikova.
Book Trailer: Number One Sam By Greg Pizzoli
Even though I have yet to secure a copy for myself as it came out during my bleary-eyed first couple weeks with new baby, I want to make sure and alert all to the existence of a new Greg Pizzoli book: Number One Sam! His book, The Watermelon Seed, from last year is a reigning favorite for me and I cannot wait to see this new one.
(I have yet to mention that Greg was one of the first authors I’ve been able to meet since moving to NYC. He even kindly signed my book with a belated birthday note since my husband gave it to me last September.)
Book Trailer: As Férias Do Pequeno Urso
Yesterday’s review highlighted one of my favorites from last year’s publications and near the end I linked to this trailer that appears to be a follow-up to the story, As Férias Do Pequeno Urso, or at least contains the same adorable characters of Papa Bear and Little Bear from The Bear’s Song by Benjamin Chaud. The trailer makes me too excited to keep it buried, so here it is for your viewing pleasure in case you didn’t click through to it yesterday!
