“How charming!! A tale of a missing group of mice, the super squirrels that try to find them, and all of the animals they encounter along the way. All the while, we learn the names of different groups of animals! I had no idea that a mischief of mice or a sleuth of bears could be so delightful. What a fun way to introduce vocabulary!” - NAME

It’s #StaffPickSaturday! Today, Brynn recommends WILL THE PIGEON GRADUATE? by Mo Willems. “Simultaneously flippant and affirming, the Pigeon does it again! While kids will love the Pigeon's latest antics, this book will likely be most appreciated by young adults who grew up reading the books, making it a great nostalgic gift for graduating high school and college students. There's something particularly heartwarming about seeing the long-suffering Pigeon (who is normally denied what he wants) finally achieve his goal by story's end. I don't know too many students who wouldn't relate to the Pigeon's perpetual misadventures, making this happy ending very sweet indeed.” - Brynn

It's #StaffPickSaturday! Today, Tami recommends THE UNDERWEARWOLF by Gideon Stearer, with illustrations by Charles Santoso. "A young boy receives a peculiar pair of hairy underwear that has a CLEAR warning: DO NOT wear them during a full moon. Why not? Because they will change you into Underwearwolf! As the moon takes control, our young friend is off across town causing chaos and getting more underweird as the night goes on! Will he stay an underwearwolf forever? A great read aloud book, that will have all the kids (and adults!) laughing to the end." -- Tami
