APPLE
MCCLURE, NIKKI
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Apple follows the life of an apple throughout the year, demonstrating the cyclical patterns in nature. The
youngest readers will delight in following the journey of the bright red apple—the only splash of color in the
otherwise black-and-white illustrations—as it travels from tree, to harvest, to snack, to compost, and finally to
sprout. A single word complements each illustration, urging early readers to reflect on each stage in the apple’s
life.

BABY PENGUINS EVERYWHERE
GUION, MELISSA
One day a penguin sees a most unusual sight: a hat floating in the icy water. Even more unusual? Out of the hat
pops a baby penguin. But not just one baby penguin . . . or even two. But a third, and a fourth, and on and on! At
first the mama penguin is happy for the company. Until she realizes that taking care of a family is very hard, very
tiring work, and what she could really use is just a moment alone. Yet as newcomer Melissa Guion reminds us in
her adorable debut picture book, alone time is all well and good, but, it's together time that's best of all.

BAILEY: A TRIP TO THE MUSEUM
BLISS, HARRY
Bailey is very excited about the school trip to the Museum of Natural History. After all, he loves to dig up bones
even more than an archeologist! And besides bones, there's lots of fun to be had with tepees, totem poles, and
dinosaur skeletons. Bailey's classmates never know what will happen next: maybe that's why the museum guard
becomes Bailey's special partner. Bailey is a character that every picture-book age kid wants to read about and
his humor and charm will keep everyone giggling.
