Great New (to me) Author

Maybe you all have already heard of him, but I have just discovered a new picture book author and illustrator who I love: Petr Horacek. He has a really cool illustrating style, kind of similar to Eric Carle, but definitely his own style. In several of his books, there are cut-outs, so the pages share parts of each other's pictures. He has written both board books and picture books. They are all entertaining and fun. In fact, one of my little guy's favorite books is Choo Choo. It's a very short little book perfect for him (he's 13 months) with different-shaped pages that make it easy for him to turn the page and keep his attention, because all it is is sound effects of the train.


Here is a list of all of his books that the library owns:
Beep Beep (board book)
Look Out, Suzy Goose (picture book)
A New House for Mouse (picture book)
Silly Suzy Goose (picture book)
When the Moon Smiled: A Bedtime Counting Book (picture book)
