Booklist’s Book for Youth senior editor Dan Kraus. Joining them will be Robin Brenner and K.T. Horning, librarians who will talk about how they use his books in the library. Sign up for this free webinar

Splat Says Thank You by Rob Scotton shows a considerate side of Splat. His best friend, the mouse Seymour, is under the weather. He is covered in spots and not smiling. Splat shows Seymour a book he has made for him, all about the many things Seymour has done to help Splat, some a bit dangerous for Seymour. A fun picture book that might inspire some young readers to create a thank you book for a parent or librarian in their lives. This could be a fun story time book and project.
