Blue Hat, Green Hat by Sandra Boynton

Posted on 04/10/2013 by picturethisbook

This cute board book teaches colours by featuring animals wearing different items of clothing.

A turkey who can’t seem to wear the clothes the right way is used for comic effect on each spread — “Blue hat, green hat, red hat, oops!”

Judging from his spot-on characterisations of baby bird and mama bird in this hilariously relatable #picturebook about the former learning to spread its wings, it’s apparent that the author is a parent who has had his fair share of toddler dealings. That this is a #wordlesspicturebook also allows the reader to pore over the humorous details in the expressive illustrations. Feathery fun! 🐦 . #flybook #markteague #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #picturebooks #wordlesspicturebooks #kidsbook #childrensbook #picturethisbook

❔❔❔ | What are the odds of two books being published only months apart and having the same title? Thankfully, even though both of these #picturebooks feature an insatiably curious protagonist, their stories travel along very different paths: Laura Vaccaro Seeger takes a more contemplative approach in her heartwarming and beautifully illustrated tale of two friends navigating some tough questions together; meanwhile, @mr.adamrex subverts all our expectations with a brilliant, action-packed and surprisingly sensitive story, fabulously illustrated by @claireonacloud, that’s ostensibly about a supervillain whose plans to take over the world are unwittingly upended by a persistent and patient kid — but the subtext about the power of curiosity and empathy will resonate with readers of all ages. No question. . #picturebooktwinning #whybook #lauravaccaroseeger #adamrex #clairekeane #picturebook #kidlitart #kidlit #kids #kidsbook #kidsbookstagram #staycurious #curiositydidntkillthecat #toppicturebooksof2019 #picturethisbook

Kicking off the first Monday morning of December with one of our favourite #illustratedsuns of the year 🌞🐔| Roar Like a Dandelion boasts the inspired #picturebook pairing of words by the late, great, always-delightful Ruth Krauss and the sweet, kooky and witty illustrations of @sergioruzzier 🐥 . #roarlikeadandelion #ruthkrauss #sergioruzzier #picturebooks #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #abecedarian #toppicturebooksof2019 #picturethisbook

It’s imperative for impressionable minds to learn to be more discerning in this (mis)information age, and I’m so glad that this timely, thought-provoking and refreshingly original #picturebook exists to highlight and explain this very real problem to the youngest readers, aided by @peteoswald’s appealing illustrations — brilliant! (Swipe to get a peek at some of our favourite spreads.) . p.s. I rarely agree with best-of-the-year lists, but I was happy to see this one in @time magazine’s roundup! 👏 . p.p.s. Life got in the way of our best-laid IG schedule so we’ll continue to post our #picturebookmonth picks in December. Stay tuned! . #thesadlittlefact #jonahwinter #peteoswald #picturebooks #kidlit #fightfakenews #kidsbookstagram #childrensbook #kidlitart #toppicturebooksof2019 #picturethisbook

Spotted a few familiar titles amidst the mainly Laotian children’s books at the small but well-kept #LuangPrabangLibrary during our short holiday. These #picturebook classics had been painstakingly translated to Laotian, with printed labels pasted manually over the original text — but what surprised me most was that these copies were not English but Japanese editions! Amazing how books travel to where they are... . In Laos, many children lack access to books, which are an unaffordable luxury, but it’s heartening to learn that the public library operates two library boats that bring bags of books to children in more than 75 remote villages via the two rivers that flank the town. Volunteers travel on the boats twice a month to deliver them and help teach children to read. There is also a tuk-tuk mobile library, which goes to village schools, taking volunteers, librarians and book bags with them! . I wish I’d done more research on this before our trip and contributed more, so just in case anyone is planning to travel to this lovely Unesco Heritage Site, check out www.lao-kids.org (or https://m.facebook.com/LaoKids) and www.bigbrothermouse.com for more information on how to give back while enjoying all that the beautiful ancient town has to offer. 📖💗 . #luangprabang #librarylove #laokids #literacy #waittillthemoonisfull #margaretwisebrown #garthwilliams #missrumphius #barbaracooney #picturethisbookinlaos #picturethisbook

🦓 | Love the curious interplay of words and surreal graphics in this new-to-us vintage #picturebook republished by @enchantedlion, which boldly invites the reader to imagine: What if...? 💭 p.s. I may never look at zebras the same way again. . #miltonglaser #shirleyglaser #enchantedlionbooks #stripedpajamas #picturebookjammies #kidlitart #kidlit #picturebooks #picturethisbook
