Picture book neighborhoods: Dinosaurs


For most of my animal neighborhoods, I try to keep the fiction more or less realistic. Dinosaurs are one of the exceptions to that, as I put pretty much any fiction featuring dinosaurs into this section. Nonfiction dinosaur books are easier at this level, as they don't change as rapidly as the more complex juvenile titles, so they can be kept for a longer period of time. I do have some series nonfiction that's about ten years old, although it tends to physically wear out at that point anyways. I also include mammoths and other prehistoric animals in this collection.

Picture book neighborhoods: Bugs


I originally included worms, snails, and similar creatures in with the bugs when I created the neighborhoods. This does bother me, but I have learned to live with it! Most of the books are about bees and butterflies of course, but I have found some nice spider titles.

Picture book neighborhoods: Birds


   Having finished the general animals section, I'm now moving on to the specific animal categories.

  This is generally divided into fiction and nonfiction, with a couple popular categories (hummingbirds, raptors, and penguins) having specific call numbers. Most of this section is nonfiction and penguin books. There are currently ~120 titles in this section. I try to keep the fiction realistic, but penguins... well, it's just easier to have all the penguin books together.

Picture Book Neighborhoods: General Animals, Fiction and Nonfiction


  I'm continuing my posts on the picture book neighborhoods, section by section. After the favorites and classics, next up is the Animals. I love nonfiction, especially science and animals, and this is a favorite section of mine. However, I will note that, especially in the picture books, Dewey numbers do NOT denote strict nonfiction vs. fiction - they are categories. There are plenty of items in the "nonfiction" Dewey numbers that are informational or that I just wanted in that section for ease of use.
  The first part of the section includes general nonfiction and fiction about animals. There are two Dewey numbers - 590 for general animals and 591 for eggs/animal babies. I've tried to make the animal fiction in this section primarily realistic, not anthropomorphic animals, although some of them do talk. I've also found that general animal books that might otherwise go in the juvenile nonfiction do better in this area. There are a couple major authors and then some specific titles I'd like to highlight.
  Some especially prolific authors have had titles weeded and not replaced and some, like Nicola Davies, had or have very popular titles that are sadly out of print. There are currently ~150 titles in this section.

Picture Book Neighborhoods: Favorites


  This collection has moved around as we moved our shelves. At one point, it was directly facing our play area. In the last shifting of shelves, it was at the beginning of the shelf ranges for the neighborhoods, across from the play area, but facing our windows. This is also the narrowest of the aisles and most folks who stopped at the desk asking for Pete the Cat, Pigeon books, etc. then had to walk to the back of the area. While I was shifting the books, I kept most of this collection on a cart at the desk and people beelined to it right away. I then put it at the end of the picture book neighborhoods, so it's the first thing you see as you approach those shelves, and whole sections were immediately checked out. I also shifted a couple favorites that had grown in popularity into this area, like Pig the Pug and Grumpy Monkey. Disney books have moved in and out of this collection and the current area makes it easier to point folks to the tub books, with additional media tie-ins.

List of favorite characters and series
 - This changes over time - some become classics, sometimes new ones are added, sometimes I shift away older titles that have fallen out of favor (or out of print). Generally I look for things that have 5 or more individual titles and that kids ask for by name. The number of items currently on order is mostly new or prebound titles - I am still working through replacements! All of these have dividers unless otherwise noted.
  • Stanley by William Bee
  • Pig the Pug by Aaron Blabey
  • Bluey
    • These are a mix of prebound and hardcover. 
    • 25 titles, 24 checked out, 35 on order (includes preorders through fall 2025).
  • Clifford by Norman Bridwell - no divider
    • Most of these are paperbacks in the tub books - and many of the originals are out of print. However, I have the original, first title in hardcover and plan to add ~5 more as I update the collection. I may, at that time, add a divider for these.
  • Drew Daywalt - The Crayons
    • There's only two picture books in this "series" but there are a whole bunch of mini books centered around holidays. They quickly got lost on the shelf, so it made sense to move them here.
    • 10 titles, 5 checked out, 7 on order.
  • Llama Llama by Dewdney
    • This is mostly the originals with only a couple prebound tie-ins.
    • 26 titles, 6 checked out, 2 on order.
  • Ryan T. Higgins
  • How to catch...
    • Originally it made the most sense to put these with the holiday or season. Then they started getting more esoteric with things like "garden fairy" and "yeti." So far, they are all just sitting in a sullen lump on the shelf, so we'll see if putting them all together was a good idea or not.
    • 36 titles, 14 checked out, 1 on order.
  • The Food Groups by John Jory
    • There are 7? of the basic picture books, but I have multiple copies as they get used for various school projects and are popular. There are also a couple tie-ins.
    • The Bad Seed
    • The Good Egg
    • 18 titles, 10 checked out, 1 on order
  • Pinkalicious by Victoria Kann
    • I've always disliked these, but the patrons and kids want them. A lot of my copies have worn out, including the couple tie-ins I had. I keep more in the tubs (paperbacks of the easy reader spin-offs).
    • 16 titles, 8 checked out
  • Grumpy Monkey by Suzanne Lang
  • If you give... by Laura Numeroff
    • This is another popular series that I don't particularly care for, but people love. I am trying to have 4 copies of each of the original titles. They're labeled on their divider with the Mouse from the first book.
    • 16 titles, 5 checked out, 2 on order
  • Fancy Nancy by Jane O'Connor
    • I've always rather liked Fancy Nancy - I definitely prefer her to Pinkalicious. The original picture books expanded to include smaller format spin-off picture books, then easy readers, then some tie-ins. My collection is very, very worn and needs replacements, but I haven't yet started ordering them.
    • Fancy Nancy and the wedding of the century
    • 23 titles, 19 checked out
  • Paw Patrol
    • These have always been paperbacks in the tubs, but they've started publishing some hardcovers so I added those and then some prebinds.
    • 16 titles, 11 checked out, 5 on order.
  • Peppa Pig - no divider
    • Like Paw Patrol these have always been paperbacks, but they've started publishing some hardcover books.
    • 1 title, 4 titles on order.
  • Pete the Cat
    • I liked the first couple books, although endless repetitions quickly took the shine out of them. I don't particularly care for the later ones, or the gazillion spin-offs and tie-ins, but people love them.
    • Pete the Cat and the New Guy
    • 40 titles, 15 checked out, 7 titles on order
  • Jasper Rabbit - Aaron Reynolds
    • This is Creepy carrots etc. It doesn't really fit, since there's only 3 titles, but it gets asked for so much that I decided to put it in the favorites. I thought there was going to be a new book next fall, but it turned out to be a chapter book! Which is cool too.
    • Creepy pair of underwear
    • 7 copies, 6 checked out.
  • Mo Willems - Knuffle Bunny and Pigeon
    • I previously had all of Mo Willems' books together in the favorites area. However, I've found that his non-series books are much less-known and since he's moved away from his signature style, and started writing some titles with other illustrators, I decided to spread his books out throughout the collection and just keep these two popular series here.
    • The duckling gets a cookie
    • The pigeon needs a bath
    • Knuffle Bunny - 3 titles, 3 checked out. I have three additional copies on order.
    • Pigeon - 33 titles, 9 checked out, 5 titles on order.
  • Bear by Karma Wilson
    • I admit these mostly leave me cold, but the pictures are cute and the kids do like the rhymes.
    • 17 titles, 5 checked out, 6 titles on order.
  • Dinosaurs by Jane Yolen

Picture Book Neighborhoods: Classics


What is a "classic"? Who knows? In a sort of general way I consider it to be older titles, sometimes having won awards sometimes not, which remain in print. They tend to be much longer than today's picture books as when they were published they were aimed at older children and most children also had longer attention spans. They also don't generally fit well into the neighborhood categories and most have no new titles to be added, only new editions or reprints. Only a few have dividers and I have noted those.

List of individual titles or small collections of classics

  • The Brambly Hedge complete collection by Jill Barklem
    • This is a personal favorite of mine and the originals are small books, like Beatrix Potter, but it's become a strong favorite of many of my patrons.
  • The complete cloudy with a chance of meatballs by Judi Barrett
    • This is a combined volume that includes the companion book, Pickles to Pittsburgh.
  • Madeline by Bemelmans
    • I am fully aware that several of these have outdated and racist language. However, they circulate so they are in the collection. I have two collections and two individual titles, the original Madeline and Madeline's Christmas.
  • Arthur by Marc Brown
    • I get asked for these mostly by teachers - most of them are out of print. I do have Arthur's Eyes, Arthur's teacher trouble, and for some reason, two copies of Arthur turns green. At some future point when I have funds I will consider adding some prebound copies if they are available.
  • Margaret Wise Brown
    • This is one of those classic authors that it's a huge pain to find the original, basic classic. You have to wade through endless board books, toy combinations, special editions, etc. etc. I have My World and Runaway Bunny and am looking for a replacement of Goodnight Moon. 
  • Babar by Jean de Brunhoff
    • Like Madeline, these are pretty outdated. They aren't something I would probably read to my own kids, although I still have a childhood copy. Even though I don't think most children will grasp the colonial background of the stories, it's a mindset that I wouldn't want to introduce. But, that's not my choice for my patrons. I have Babar the king, The travels of Babar, and The Story of Babar.
  • Eric Carle - marked with divider
    • This is probably one of the most extensive "classic" authors I have. I include Bill Martin Jr.'s "Bear" books here as well, since this is usually where people look for them. I try to have several copies of the most familiar and popular stories, like The Very Hungry Caterpillar and I periodically replace the other titles as needed. This is another one that can be frustrating as the most popular titles go in and out of print and there are a gazillion spin-off editions under the Eric Carle name.
    • A comparison of the picture book and easy reader of A House for Hermit Crab
    • The Nonsense Show by Eric Carle
  • Five little monkeys jumping on the bed by Eileen Christelow
    • There's a whole series of these. Not my personal favorite, and they don't get asked for often and are mostly out of print, but I do get requests often enough that I'll keep this. I might add a couple more in the series if I find them on a discount site at some point.
  • Maisy by Lucy Cousins
    • I remember when Maisy was as big as Peppa Pig. She's not as popular nowadays, and I mostly purchase Maisy books in board book format since her picture books were ready to pieces, but I do have about 5 of them and add to it occasionally. This is the only "classic" series that regularly has new titles.
  • Barbara DeRubertis - alphabet series
    • There's one book for each letter (I'm missing Polly Porcupine, but it's out of print). Frankly, these are here b/c I'm not relabeling and moving 25 books.
  • Drummer Hoff by Barbara Emberley
  • Olivia by Ian Falconer - marked with a divider
    • There are only 5? I think? of the original books. They've gradually disappeared due to wear and tear and I am trying to keep 2 copies at least of each one.
  • Corduroy by Don Freeman
    • Just the original two - Corduroy and A Pocket for Corduroy.
  • Millions of Cats by Wanda Gag
    • Just ordered a replacement of this.
  • Frances by Russell Hoban
    • I have the three that are generally still in print - Bedtime for Frances, Bread and Jam for Frances, and Best friends for Frances.
  • Angelina Ballerina by Holabird
    • I've moved these back and forth from the Dance section. I think they are now in "classic" category and besides a couple copies of the first title, the only one I make sure I have is Angelina at the Fair.
  • Ezra Jack Keats
    • I have Snowy Day of course, a collection, and a couple individual titles.
  • Robert Kraus
    • I recently moved Where are you going, little mouse? and Whose mouse are you? to this section because they weren't circulating in the general area.
  • The story of Ferdinand by Munro Leaf
  • Tacky by Helen Lester
    • Not one that I like, but I do get asked for them fairly regularly. I have 4.
  • Leo Lionni
    • I am a big fan of Leo Lionni and when I keep them all together here they check out regularly, although not to the extent of more popular titles. I have 10 titles including Swimmy and Frederick.
  • Froggy by Jonathan London
    • These used to be much more popular. They are still mostly available in prebound, but I don't think they're worth expending the purchase money. I have 7 and I try to keep between 5 and 10.
  • The Magic School Bus
    • So, I have three of the original titles, Explore the senses, Inside a hurricane, and Inside a beehive. From the amount of requests I get for these, I could probably have more. But, while information doesn't generally outdate as much for a younger audience, I am not going to expend funds on purchasing very outdated nonfiction books. Additionally, most of them are out of print. In my opinion, teachers should be using other materials. I keep this handful specifically for a couple patrons who are autistic and get very focused on older kids' tv shows like this.
  • Robert McCloskey
    • We had multiple copies in heavy, never-fail library binding. I've weeded a few as they stopped circulating or became very shabby, but the ones I've kept still circulate regularly. I have several copies of Make way for ducklings and Blueberries for Sal and a couple other random titles.
  • Robert Munsch
    • I'm not a huge fan of Munsch. I don't dislike him, I just don't care for the books and I don't think they make particularly good read-alouds. The ones I have circulate, but not often enough that I feel the need to purchase more and I never get asked for them. I have one collection and three individual titles.
  • Sam Bangs and Moonshine by Evaline Ness
    • This is a weird one but every time I figure it's never going to circulate again and I might as well weed it, someone comes in and borrows it. So, I keep it.
  • Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister
    • I detest this book. I keep at least two copies of it.
  • Beatrix Potter
    • I used to have a collection of the small books, but they didn't really circulate - caregivers were worried about losing them. I replaced them with several collections.
  • Curious George by H. A. Rey
    • I only have the original books here. I think there are 7. These are the only paperback picture books I keep, because they are so thick. I also keep Pretzel here.
  • We're going on a bear hunt by Michael Rosen
    • I had to replace this anyways, so I've decided to move it to the classics section.
  • Richard Scarry - Busytown - divider
    • I put all the titles with the Busytown theme, characters, or art style here. They recently reprinted a lot of them, but the bindings weren't super strong so I've had to replace a few several times.
  • Splat the Cat by Scotton - divider
    • This series goes in and out of popularity. Right now, I'm keeping the picture books here and I don't think there are going to be any more.
  • Maurice Sendak
    • I have a couple copies of Where the wild things are. Everything else was weeded for lack of use except... Bumble-ardy. Do not ask me, I have no idea why it's circulating so much.
  • Dr. Seuss - divider
    • I'm not going to enter into any discussions about this. They circulate regularly and I get asked for them, but they are not so popular that I feel the need to purchase additional copies or have every book that Seuss wrote or that was dug out of his attic after his death. I try to keep the main titles - Horton, The Lorax, and The Grinch. This is just the original books, no spin-offs.
  • David Shannon - divider
    • I include A bad case for stripes and Alice the fairy here. I would have thought this was complete, but a new David book is coming out in spring 2025.
  • Caps for sale by Slobodkina
  • William Steig
    • These really don't circulate much, but I keep a couple of the best-known titles.
  • Eloise in Paris by Kay Thompson
  • Anatole by Eve Titus
    • I admit I keep two Anatole books because they're favorites of mine. They do circulate occasionally though!
  • Chris Van Allsburg
    • I used to have a huge collection of these, but lack of circulation caused me to weed them down. I only have four of the best-known titles.
  • Lyle Lyle Crocodile
    • I just replaced the collected first four stories with a new collection.
  • The biggest bear by Lynd Ward
  • David Wiesner
    • I moved some of his other titles into the neighborhoods - I just kept Tuesday and Flotsam here.
  • The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams
  • King Bidgood's in the bathtub by Audrey Wood
    • I moved a couple of her other books into other areas.
  • Hey Al by Arthur Yorinks

Library Collections: Board Books Core Collection

 Core Collection

  I am not a huge fan of "must-have" lists, but this is what I consider the core collection of my board books - these are things that I will regularly replace if damaged or lost or continually purchase new titles as the older ones go out of print or are weeded. They're all series, so it's generally easy to choose a selection of titles.
  The two genres I didn't include here is board books with baby faces - there are a lot of different options for those and they are a must-have of course, with how many you have depending on the size of your collection (My own favorites including photographs of babies and children are the Michel Blake titles from Candlewick, alas now long out of print) and High-Contrast titles. Agnese Baruzzi has done some nice ones and you can also find them by searching high contrast and "Montessori" together.
  • Annie Kubler
    • Kubler's board books with Child's Play primarily include nursery rhymes and simple action books. The art is pastels, which is not always the most popular choice, but at least a few of these are necessary storytime board books.
  • Drive the... by Dave Mottram
    • These are books shaped like a steering wheel. Sadly, the race car title is out of print, but the fire engine book is still available.
  • Emma Garcia
    • Garcia has written a number of picture books, several of which have been made into board books. They're published by Boxer Books Ltd. and generally cover different vehicles and sounds. Titles include "Toot Toot Beep Beep" and "Tip Tip Dig Dig." The short text and colorful art make these a must-have.
  • Hello, World by Jill McDonald
  • How it works by Amelia Hepworth
  • Karen Katz
    • Katz' work is instantly recognizable with round, smiling faces. Her books frequently have somewhat flimsy lift-the-flaps, but they're inexpensive to replace. These are perennial favorites with parents and kids.
  • Katrine Crow
    • I recently discovered these are available as paperbacks, but the board books are the best. You should at least have Butts.
  • Leo by Anna McQuinn
  • Llama Llama by Anna Dewdney
    • Not my personal favorite, but this is still a staple series and the concept board books aren't too bad.
  • Make Tracks by Johnny Dyrander
    • While the vehicle versions of this book will probably remain the most popular, Nosy Crow is debuting a version with animals (and a different author) that should be fun as well, starting with Let's Go Home Baby Bunny.
  • National Geographic by various authors
  • Our World by various authors (Barefoot Books)
    • I suggest purchasing a selection of titles including cultures represented in your community and some that are not, to introduce kids to new places.
  • Sandra Boynton
    • There are a lot of classic titles to choose from; you can also pick up boxed sets of some of the most popular.
  • Stanley by William Bee
    • The titles I originally reviewed, and most of the other older titles, are out of print, but there are still some titles available in this series. I hope that someday Peachtree will reprint them - they have reissued the original picture books in different formats.
  • Storytelling Math by Grace Lin
    • As well as the picture books, there is a series of board book spin-offs introducing very early math concepts. They tie in to popular subjects like seasons and are available in bilingual (Spanish) versions. I recommend having at least a couple of these.
  • That's not my... by Fiona Watt
    • This series was originally published by Usborne but it is now available on a much wider market, including Baker & Taylor. It's a touchy-feely series and although the bindings are not very sturdy, it's worth purchasing new titles as they are released as it is perennially popular.
  • Very Hungry Caterpillar etc. by Eric Carle
    • There are both original and spin-off board books with Eric Carle's illustrations.
  • Whatever the weather by Carol Thompson
    • There are several other series from Thompson, some with other illustrators, but this set has a special place in my heart. It's notable for including toddlers with visible disabilities.
  • Where's the...? by Ingela P. Arrhenius

Back to school picture book round-up

A lot of schools are going back now in August; my school district doesn't resume until after Labor Day, but the "back to school" books start flying off the shelf now. There are plenty of classic favorites, familiar tropes, etc. (many of which I, personally, hate) but here's a list of what I've reviewed recently as well as some past favorites and what I'll be giving my teachers.

I also have a Pinterest board that includes back to school and first day of school items.

First school experiences/preschool or kindergarten

Returning to school, attending a new school, elementary grades

Social-Emotional Learning

Education and school-themed stories for elementary school kids
Just for fun!

Librarian's Picks: Juvenile Nonfiction Graphics purchased in 2021

The Unsolved Case Files are not, strictly speaking, graphic novels, but illustrated narrative nonfiction. Science Comics and History Comics are probably the top choices for literary value, but for popular appeal and tight budgets, grab Show me history, which have been much in request by 5th graders at my schools. Younger readers are going for Mike Lowery's Everything Awesome and Fred and Marjorie was of special interest to my audience, since we serve a community of people with T1 Diabetes. My personal favorite were the Corpse Talk titles and I also loved Andy Warner's Oddball Histories which I personally donated.
