Children and teens roundup  the best new picture books and novels
Ban Ban’s Bakery follows a bunny and Grandma as they bake and transform Dusty Cottage into a bakery. Daddy Is Cleaning shows a toddler helping with laundry, cooking, and planting while Daddy cleans through a busy day. Home Is a Hug uses cut-out peek-through pages and lift-the-flaps to convey warmth and reassurance. Jolly Monster Town: The Party Pickle follows Twiggy the Log Monster preparing a first sleepover, with offbeat humour when plans go wrong. Aardvark Day presents zoology-themed poetry about animals and plants, supported by energetic illustrations. What Makes a Bird? offers a bright, accessible guide to beaks, birdsong, habitats, and nests. The Ministry of Manners centers on strict politeness rules, with Alfie complying and Margot challenging them.
"Ban Ban the bunny loves baking with Grandma but will she be able to turn Dusty Cottage into a bakery of her very own? A cute, enticing picture book full of mouthwatering, pastel-hued treats."
"Baby is helping with laundry, cooking and planting so Daddy is cleaning, a lot! This tender picture book perfectly evokes the love, humour and exhaustion of managing a day's chores with an enthusiastic toddler."
"Cut-out, peek-through pages and fun lift-the-flaps combine with sweetly coloured illustrations in this gentle, playful picture book about the warmth and reassurance of home."
"The Ministry of Manners' laws demand constant, unrelenting politeness no problem for Alfie, but his sister Margot is an outspoken firebrand."
