Great New Children’s Books from Independent Publishers

Looking for some new reading material this summer? I’ve got a few new books that were sent our way that we are reading over and over again!

From Lemniscaat USA mermaid's shoes

The Mermaid’s Shoes is gorgeously illustrated, and is about a little girls who brings her memories of the beach back home with her after vacation. She searches for the perfect spot in the city to be a mermaid, and she ultimately finds it! It’s on sale at Amazon now and is a book I would very highly recommend for any mermaid fans out there!

 From Floris Books

woodworking with children

While we aren’t reading this book constantly, it is a really cool find for those of you out there with any woodworking experience. It gives some very detailed tutorials for introducing young children to the trade. If you already have a few woodworking tools on hand, then you should definitely pick up a copy of Woodworking with Children.

From Gecko Press

toucan can

Tongue-twisters are always a fun treat, and Toucan Can! is certainly a good one! It isn’t too hard for a young child to attempt, though, and similar to Mermaid’s Shoes, it also has really beautiful illustrations. This is also a great choice for an early reader!

Other Notable Titles:

A few other books that I recommend you consider for purchase this summer are Pom and Pim (about the good and bad luck a child and his favorite lovey encounter throughout the day) and Watch Out for the Crocodile (about a girl and her father going hiking and camping, and all the things the little girl notices out in nature…very imaginative!).
What new titles are you reading this summer? I’d love to get some recommendations from you!
