The Perfect Pillow by Eric Pinder - ESSENTIAL

Pinder, Eric The Perfect Pillow, illustrated by Chris Sheban. PICTURE BOOK. Disney Hyperion, 2018. $16.99.

Brody is struggling to sleep in his brand new bed, in his brand new room, in his brand new house. In search of somewhere he can actually rest, he carries his stuffed dragon, Horst, with him out the window. Together they try to sleep in a nest like squirrels, on a comfy cloud, and a variety of other places, but it never quite works out. Eventually Horst leads Brody back to his very own room where the bed now seems a pretty comfy place to sleep--with Horst making a perfect dragon pillow.

I absolutely love this book. The illustrations are perfection, the story is sweet and magical, and I want to read and share it with everyone. This book evokes the same feelings as classics like "Where the Wild Things Are" and I am crazy for it. This is definitely an essential pick for your 2018 library.

Pre-K, EL (K-3)--ESSENTIAL.
