Posted in honor of the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, this list includes books about the moon, the space program and space race, astronauts, and space travel past, present and future.

Emotions aren't easy, especially when you're young. Created to coincide with our special author visit from MAJ Joseph Goodrich, author of Ellie and Her Emotional Dragons, this guide looks at both general guides to feelings and closer looks at specific emotions.

Fall is here, and school is back in session! This list is an all-ages look at school themes from nursery school to college, with special emphasis on the first day of school, being the new kid, and other notable transitions.

From the spooky to the dark to the outright terrifying, a collection of horror and dark fantasy novels from our shelves.

Alphabet, counting, shapes and colors. As far as our kids are concerned, these are the basic subjects you want a start on before preschool. Unfortunately, they're also the subjects most likely to end up as picture books rather than as nonfiction. This guide will show you where to look in J Nonfiction and what books to find in J PICTURE, each subject on its own page. 

Not every book has to have words; these definitely don't! Wordless picture books are a chance to let your child engage with a story without being constrained by the text - a chance for slow readers to shine and for good readers to have to look at another angle to figure out what's going on. Best of all, the art is usually gorgeous. Check one out!

We know kids love dinosaurs. We know parents don't always love trying to figure out how to pronounce three or four languages worth of dinosaur names. Picture books can help, by being more about dinosaurs being dinosaurs than dinosaurs being specific species. This list is a not-so-fossil record of our dinosaur picture books; dig in!

Free to a good home (at least, for a time), these pet picture books will wriggle their way into your kid's heart. We have everything from the dog next door to pet trucks and dragons. Take one for a walk today!
