All A Board! All About Books for Babies

Hello!

 I've moved to Poughkeepsie (New York, not Arkansas) and started a free online magazine about books for babies. It's called All A Board! and can be accessed via a title search at issuu.com or by clicking here. It offers a peek at new and upcoming board titles. Age icons help match babies to books based on stages of development. Articles focus on the people that make board books happen and early book sharing. The first issue is out.

 What's on top of your read-aloud stack?

Concept: Colors. A toothsome mouse called Mouse eats his way through the primary and secondary colors and then some. The pictures are deliciously big. Bon appetit!
