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!”

Duality 🌗 Posting this witty illustration by #nonnyhogrogian on the cusp of daybreak. Good morning! . p.s. @100scopenotes’s illustrated suns project made me realise how many illustrated moons I’ve posted over the years on #apicturebookgoodnight! This one counts too, right? 😆 . #thedayboyandthenightgirl #kidlitart #illustration #picturethisbook

Love at first sight ✨💙 . There were probably thousands of antique and used titles at the pop-up book sale that we chanced upon on our last day in Copenhagen, but I only had eyes for this beauty. Have you read any of George Macdonald’s enchanting stories? . #thedayboyandthenightgirl #georgemacdonald #nonnyhogrogian #nevertoooldforfairytales #kidlit #bookserendipity #vintagebook #childrensbook #picturethisbook

“Have book (or bog, as the case may be) will travel” is one of my mantras, as is “Will travel for books”, so I seized the chance to go solo bookstore-hopping around the Latin quarter in Copenhagen. . All in all, I managed to visit four bookstores in two hours, including the amazing Politiken Boghal, which blew me away with its impressive wall of well-curated English fiction. . Alas, what was mostly an exciting and liberating bookish jaunt was marred by a rude and openly racist used-bookstore proprietor who verbally abused me while I was paying for my books. Incidentally, this bookstore has very favourable reviews on Google — possibly because none of those reviewers were Asian? 🤷‍♀️ I’m just glad that my kids were spared this nasty experience. . I don’t regret buying the books, though, since I spent a long time combing through the otherwise mediocre selection to retrieve (or, more aptly, rescue) them — in fact, I think one of them tried to give me a heads-up (see last pic)... 👿 . Sadly, not all book people are good people. Have you ever had a bad experience at a bookshop? . p.s. I belatedly found out that “havebog” (one word) isn’t the same as “have bog”, and that it actually means “garden book”. 😆 . #picturethisbookinscandinavia #ptbookshops

Entrusting these guys with some of our favourite books. 📚🐧🦁🐘🐼🦔 . #bookguardians #shelfmenagerie #bookshelfie #kidlit #picturebooks #kidsbookstagram

Trying to get my head back into bookstagramming, but to be honest it’s been pretty refreshing taking a break from reviewing and posting about specific books and just reading for reading’s sake. Regular posts to resume soon-ish 🤞 . p.s. Spotted this illustration (swipe to see more) at a cool maritime-themed library in Copenhagen, housed in a beautifully repurposed disused shipyard ⚓️📚 . #gillelejebibliotek #bookstagram #bookface #librariesofinstagram #ptlibraries #librarylove #picturethisbookinscandinavia #picturethisbook

Surprised myself by picking up four vintage science-fiction paperbacks in Copenhagen, including this one that is high up on my tbr stack! 📖 . This and two other equally intriguing titles came from my favourite book haunt in the city, @vangsgaardsantikvariat (swipe for a photo tour of the huge and lovely store) whose terrific vintage science-fiction spread piqued my interest and made up for the fact that (like most bookstores in the city) its selection of English fiction was otherwise tiny. . #vintagesciencefiction #vintagescifi #thejoymakers #jamesgunn #vangsgaardsantikvariat #usedbookstore #rarebookstore #bookstagram #ptbookshops #picturethisbookinscandinavia #picturethisbook
