Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Litchenheld

Posted on 04/10/2013 by picturethisbook

Duck! Rabbit! is a book about two people who disagree on what they see: is it a duck or a rabbit?

The clever illustrations thus show children that sometimes there’s more than one way to look at things — good lateral- and creative-thinking training!

☂ A welcoming canopy ever ready to offer shelter, comfort and protection, rain or shine, the umbrella as a metaphor for love and togetherness is perfectly illustrated in this lyrical, affirming and comforting #picturebook by the talented @davina.bell and @al_colps — ideal for cosying up with the little people under your own love umbrella, at the end of a long day. . p.s.

The joys and wonders of the great outdoors can be vicariously experienced through the lenses of these irresistibly verdant #picturebook twins, beautifully illustrated by @madelinekloepper and @alisondraws. Of course, nothing beats the real thing — but if you need a nudge to make time for some parks and recreation, these two make a pretty convincing case indeed. 🌲🌲🌲 p.s.

Happy World Read Aloud Day! 📖 . Now that my kids are 8 and almost-10, respectively, I love that there are so many more exciting #readaloud options open to us, especially new-to-us classics that I’m excited for us to dive into together.💞📚 . We just finished Five Children and It two nights ago, so tonight we started on the first chapter of The Golden Bird, a Polish fairy tale. Coincidentally both books are related to wishes and their authors share the same first name. Bonus: they look pretty good together too! 🧡💛👯‍♀️ . What are you reading with your kids? 😃 . #worldreadaloudday #chapterbook #readaloud #kidlit #enesbit #edithnesbit #hrmillar #fivechildrenandit #kidlitart #thegoldenbird #janpienkowski #edithbrill #picturethisbook

My kids were so tickled when they saw this illustration because they thought it looked so much like our family. Suffice it to say, it isn’t every day that you see a “regular” modern Chinese family and their home being represented in a picture book by a big publisher that isn’t overtly “diverse” or “multicultural” but simply a fun story by @julie_falatko that is also a hilariously clever twist on the typical family-roughs-it-out-in-the-great-outdoors scenario, with animals taking the chance to chill indoors and make themselves literally at home! Kudos, too, to @ohtruth for being quite restrained in the chinoiserie department and instead keeping the illustrations real with important things like the rice cooker and a pretty legit old-school coffee table — although, that durian(!) casually sitting in a fruit bowl on the kitchen floor, NBD, might be my favourite, albeit pretty weird, detail. 😆 . On a more serious note, it’s an understatement to say that it’s been a rough start to the Lunar New Year for everyone, with the coronavirus outbreak. Our hearts go out especially to the exhausted medical personnel at the frontline bravely risking their lives and tirelessly battling to contain the spread of the coronavirus, as well as those whose lives have been upended in these difficult times. Stay healthy and safe, everyone! 😷 . #thegreatindoors #juliefalatko #ruthchan #kidlit #kidlitart #picturebooks #picturebook #toppicturebooksof2019 #picturethisbook

🧧🐀 新年快乐！Happy Year of the Rat! . p.s. OK Rats aren’t exactly popular fodder in #kidlit so we rounded up some of our favourite illustrated mice instead. Spy any favourites?? 😜🐭 . #illustratedmice #illustration #kidlitart #picturebook #williamsteig #axelscheffler #mauricesendak #jerrypinkney #jonklassen #arnoldlobel #paulgaldone #dorissusansmith #lillianhoban #picturethisbook

If my first #bookstack of 2020 is anything to go by, this is going to be another incredible year of great reads. These were all published just last year and I would recommend them for 9-12yos. (Swipe to see all the beautiful covers and bookmark this post so you’ll remember to check them out!) Indeed, 2019 was a truly outstanding year for #kidlit, and #mglit in particular 🙌 . Seeing as the ALA Youth Media Awards will be announced next week, and while at least four of these titles are serious Newbery contenders (in addition to the other fantastic MG/YA books that I read last year), I’m keeping my fingers crossed that @alibenjamin’s sublime #TheNextGreatPaulieFink will win the coveted Medal — it’s THAT good🏅🤞 Which book(s) are you rooting for to win the Newbery?? . #middlegradebooks #pteightbookstack #ptmiddlegradebks #shoutingattherain #lookbothways #the47peopleyoullmeetinmiddleschool #lalaniofthedistantsea #bernicebuttmanmodelcitizen #homeroomsandhallpasses
