Animals at Night While the heavy text may be a bit intimidating for reluctant readers, this book is a feast for the eyes for kids who enjoy learning about animals, and the fact that it is glow in the dark will make it a fun experience. The ARC I received was an e-book, so I didn't get the full glow in the dark aspect, but the book itself stands on its own as a solid nonfiction book about nocturnal animals.

I Am Josephine: (And I Am a Living Thing)I Am Josephine: by Jan Thornhill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Don't let the bland cover deceive you -- this book is full of rich illustrations accompanying a STEM-filled story.

Josephine is not just a unique human being -- she's a mammal, an animal, and a living thing. Examples of other humans, mammals, animals, and living things are given, and the reader is invited to count them all.

This is a great way to begin introducing biology concepts at a young age.

Chirp: A River Leaks Through ItChirp: A River Leaks Through It by J. Torres
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Chirp and his friends find themselves in perilous situations during their adventure, they don't panic. They've brought the right supplies, and they know how to use them!

Chirp: A River Leaks Through It is best for the primary school crowd. As a children's librarian, I am looking forward to pairing this with some fun water-based STEM activities. This is the first book I have read in this series, but I will certainly go through the others after reading this.
