Jbrary just posted their favorite storytime picture books that were published in 2023. If you don't know what Jbrary is, it is a fantastic storytime resource that I, and many others, use often. They recommended 38 picture books this year. You can see them all here.
I've also enjoyed a lot of these books. One of those books is Bing! Bang! Chugga! Beep! By Bill Martin Jr. and Michael Sampson and illustrated by Nathalie Beauvois. It has a great, repetitive story and can be sung to the tune "This Old Man." Kids liked repeating "Bing, bang, chugga, beep."
As a dog lover, I knew that Boop! by Bea Birdsong and illustrated by Linzie Hunter would be one of my personal favorites when I bought it. Kids can boop the dogs' snoots.
Finally, I just read I’m Going to Build a Snowman by Jashaw Awan to a group of kids in a 4k class, and they LOVED it. We pretended to build a snowman while I read the book, and they were super engaged throughout the story. I'm excited to see how the other recommendations play out during my storytimes.
