Thanks to Sarah at Broomfield Children's Library for the brief talk about great new books.  It's so wonderful to share her enthusiasm for what really works with kids. She is an amazing resource to parents, teachers, and caregivers.  
 Favorites she mentioned that I've gotten to read to kids when subbing this year so far are:
Kleusemeier, Jesse (2013) Open This Little Book, illustrated by Suzy Lee, San Francisco, CA: Chronicle Books.
Becker, Aaron(2013) Journey, Somerville, Mass: Candlewick. (My pick for Caldecott.  I loved this wordless one that I had to sit outside the library and read it with Leah before returning it.  Then I had to go buy a copy.  Reminiscent of The Red Balloon.)
Miller, Pat Zietlow (2013) Sophie's Squash, illlustrated by Anne Wilsdorf, NY: Schwartz & Wade.
Lehrhaupt, Adam (2013) Warning! Do Not Open This Book, illustrated by Matthew Forsythe, NY: Simon & Schuster. (this and the next solicited the lovely "Read it Again!")
Docherty, Helen (2013) The Snatchabook, illustrated by Thomas Dockerty, Naperville, IL: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky.
