Picture Books I'm looking forward to in 2016



It's that time of year when we look back and celebrate what we've read, and also look forward to what is coming ahead.  Readers are always making reading plans and I'm happy to say my 2016 reading year looks bright thanks to some of these books.  Which one of these books will be on your reading list this year?

I know I am missing some.  Josh Funk's new book, Dear Dragon: A Pen Pal Tale, doesn't have a cover yet (although I've seen a mock-up of the book and it is FANTASTIC).  

Mr. Schu posted a vine yesterday on his blog that had 8 must read 2016 picture books and I noticed there were some new ones there too. 

All of this just means happy reading for us next year!

Which picture books are you looking forward to next year?

Be sure to check back tomorrow when I show upcoming 2016 nonfiction picture books (click here for link) and on Thursday upcoming 2016 middle grade books.  I cap the week off with a spotlight post on Salina Yoon's upcoming book, Be a Friend.

Happy Reading!
