Boy + Bot, by Ame Dyckman, illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
A simple story about a little boy and a robot, elevated by its emotional warmth and visual brightness.
(121)
Curious Garden, by Peter Brown
A delicate, lovely story about Manhattan's splendid High Line Park. Will stick with me.

The Snatchabook, by Helen Docherty and Thomas Docherty
This was cute - I especially liked the illustrator's style - but it suffered by comparison with the other splendid kids' books I was reading before and after it.

Too Loud Lily, by Sofie Laguna, illustrated by Kerry Argent
SUCH a hoot. Funny and playful with a solid but not overly preachy message. The illustrations and the text enhance each other.
(124)
Romping Monsters, Stomping Monsters, by Jane Yolen, illustrated by Kelly Murphy
This was fun, but not as fun as I hoped it would be.
(125)
Yes Please, by Amy Poehler
Warm and funny and playful. Like most comedy, not every bit hits - but the bits that hit were hilarious. And there's a lot of heart in the book, even as she explicitly chooses what to share and what not to. Much more reserved than the Mulgrew autobiography I read earlier this spring.
