Finding new and upcoming books is always exciting! Here are some books to look forward to for readers who are on the #road2reading!
A Pig, A Fox, and Stinky Socks
by Jonathan Fenske
published by Penguin
available now
I first met this silly duo when the first book, A Pig, a Fox, and a Box, won a 2016 Geisel Honor award. Short, quick chapters, rhyming text and very silly jokes make this a fun book to read.

The rest of the books are upcoming releases so while I haven't had a chance to read them yet, I'm looking forward to reviewing them closer to release dates! Looks like our readers have some great stories ahead!

Fergus and Zeke

Coming in around 50+ pages with short chapters, this book looks to be great for those readers who are ready to increase their stamina while still relying on some support.
Jasmine Toguchi Mochi Queen
by Debbi Michiko Florence
published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux
July 11th, 2017
I just received a copy of this book and I'm really excited to read it! The chapters look short, there are still some illustrations, text is bigger and has a good amount of space between lines. Looks to be about 128 pages, so a book that should pair well with readers who are looking for shorter chapter books with decodable words.
Cody and the Rules of Life
by Tricia Springstubb

This is the third book in the Cody series and she is a character I love - full of spunk and curiosity! This is a great transitional chapter book series. If you haven't met Cody yet, be sure to check her out!
Be sure to check out Alyson Beecher's post as she has even more recent releases for you!

I absolutely love mochi (I've eaten freshly made mochi, it's so good!), so Jasmine Toguchi, Mochi Queen sounds absolutely perfect!! :-)
