Title: Picture books narrated by crayons and such
Post by: JodyJS on November 15, 2016, 03:21 PM

Hello, Friends!

I need your help again.  ;D

This time I need suggestions of picture books narrated by inanimate objects, like THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT or SPORK. Bonus points if you have a SCIENCE title that uses this device.

 :thankyou :thankyou :thankyou

There is Cloudette by Tom Lichtenheld, (and it does get a bit sciencey with the clouds!) and he has illustrated another (author Beth Ferry) called Stick and Stone that I haven't read yet.

Reserved them both. I also thought of Shark vs. Train and Everyone Loves Cupcake and Everyone Loves Bacon.

Keep 'em coming!

I couldn't find the book now, but there was one about the water cycle narrated by a drop of water. Maybe someone knows it?

Julie, I just reserved A Drop of Water. Maybe that's it. Thanks.

Heather, shoot! My library doesn't have that one. Thanks anyway.

That's it, Jody! You are a super sleuth. I hope it helps.
