Spotlight Friday - May releases - picture books 5.04.18


Time to get ready for the weekend!
Kick up your feet and find a good place to read.
Sharing #booklove for your classroom or library.
Spotlighting a book or two because these books deserve the spotlight!



May is one of those months that builds me up for my summer reading.  Always lots of book birthdays, always lots of books to read.  Open up your library holds... so many books to find!
