“It’s a rhyming, pun filled, counting book that would make an amazing readers theater performance piece.” He ain’t wrong. Scholastic never sent me this book for review, so thank goodness Eric was there to guide me. But sometimes, if you’re lucky, the stars align in just the right way. I was 99% certain that even if my library had the book that Eric was referring to, I wouldn’t be able to find it. Board books are notorious for ending up messy thanks to little hands. Why? Because it can be too hard to find them on the shelves. Now you have to understand that this list is a tricky one to make because a lot of libraries refuse to lend board books through their consortiums. “Hopefully it is not too late to add our favorite board book of 2020 to tomorrow’s list (if for some crazy reason it’s not already on it)”. And no sooner had my fingertips left the keyboard then longtime friend and reader Eric Carpenter wrote in to ask a question. You see, yesterday I tweeted out the fact that the “31 Days, 31 Lists” series would begin December 1st. This book is a good example of how down-to-the-wire these lists are sometimes.
