Okay, technically this picture book is about a cheeseburger, not a hamburger, but a cheeseburger is a hamburger with cheese, so close enough, right? Now that that’s settled, I can introduce you to a humorous and heartwarming story about a raccoon and a seed that he hopes will grow cheeseburgers:
One night, while Grub is rummaging through the trash looking for something to eat, he meets Seed. Seed is waiting for someone to plant him so he can start growing. Grub hopes Seed will grow “something very good and very special”—cheeseburgers! So, Grub plants Seed and they both wait. Wait to see what will happen. Though I guessed Grub might not get what he hoped for, I kept turning the pages to find out how the book would end, and the ending did not disappoint! Monica Arnaldo’s clever story of growth and friendship is full of humor and heart, a surprising yet inevitable ending, charming illustrations, and dreams of cheeseburgers! I think you’ll love ARE YOU A CHEESEBURGER? as much as I did.

While I think Being You Day is a great holiday, I think being you needs to be celebrated every day, don’t you? Here’s a picture book about someone who wants to be themself:
In this picture book, the narrator introduces the reader to a character named Bob who has the unique talent of being able to be whatever they want. But Bob isn’t Bob. Bob is Blob (with an L). And Blob gets tired of becoming different animals at the narrator’s suggestion. Blob just wants to be Blob. And there’s nothing wrong with that. This story addresses themes of staying true to yourself and reaching for your dreams, but does so without being too message-y. Anne Appert’s colorful, adorable illustrations match the fun, adorable text. I’m all for BLOB!

Denis would love to eat YOU! Not to fear. If you follow the rules, you’re in no danger. This clever book that breaks the fourth wall contains 10 basic rules the reader must follow to avoid being eaten. Brian Gehrlein’s text is fun (my favorite word is “applesauciest”), engaging, and hilarious, and Tom Knight’s illustrations are bright, colorful, and detailed. With expressive characters, a hungry (but lovable) monster, illustrated end papers, an under-the-jacket-surprise, a surprise ending, and fun-to-follow rules, this book will make an entertaining read-aloud that kids are sure to love!
