Picture Book Sampler: Undercover Ostrich, Dibs!, Be a Maker

Preview three new picture books coming in Spring 2019 from Carolrhoda Books!

In Joe Kulka's Undercover Ostrich, a particularly obtuse narrator simply cannot spot the undercover ostriches all around him! Readers will love the humorous illustrations and outsmarting the narrator . . . who also finds a good reason to go undercover himself. 

Dibs! follows two brothers as they call dibs on everything—including the moon! When Clancy's little brother blasts off into outer space, can Julian harness the power of dibs to rescue his little brother? This humorous take on sibling rivalry is by Laura Gehl, author of the hilarious picture book I Got a Chicken for My Birthday.

How many things can you make in a day? A tower, a friend, a change? Rhyme and repetitions engage young readers in a discussion about the ways we can make a difference in the world. Be a Maker celebrates creativity through beautiful rhyming verse by Katey Howes and vibrant illustrations by Elizabet Vuković with a timely message.
