Boss Baby

Marla Frazee has done it again.  She has managed to bring adult humor once again to a children's book with her amazing illustrations.  Boss Baby compares a newborn baby to a boss used to getting everything he wants.  His workers are his exhausted parents working around the clock.  Finally, his staff falls asleep and is unable to give him the usual attention he demanded.  Will he be able to reclaim their attention?  Find out in Boss Baby!

Stars

Marla Frazee is Ivy's favorite illustrator.  I was thrilled to see a new book out with Marla and a local New Hampshire author, Mary Lyn Ray.  Ivy loves this book.  It is about stars both real and metaphorical.  It is about the power of finding the "star" within you on off days.

Some days you feel shiny as a star
If you've done something important, 
people may call you a star.


But some days
you don't feel 
shiny.


Those days,
it's good
to reach 
for the one
in your
pocket. 

The words become hauntingly beautiful with the illustrations.  What a combo!
