When the new day begins, there are lots of ways for Excavator and the other construction trucks to be kind. There are holes to dig. There are loads (and even friends) to carry up, up, and out of tough situations. There are trucks to wash, and pull, and help along the way. There are even games to play—like digging for hidden treasure.

With so many ways to be kind to each other, we can’t squeeze it all into one day. Tomorrow, there will be more holes to dig, more friends to help, and more loads to carry. Come back in the morning to lend Crane, Backhoe, Bulldozer, and the other trucks a hand!

Written by Michele Robbins and illustrated by Ekaterina Ladatko, I Dig Being Kind touches on the many ways we can help one another—with talents specific to us as individuals or simply being present enough to see another’s needs. I Dig Being Kind brings back the adorable cast of trucks from I Dig Bathtime. Published by Familius.

Digging holes, carrying loads, playing games, helping friends—can you name all the ways a truck can be kind to others?

I Dig Being Kind

Join Excavator and the rest of the crew as they scrub-a-dub-dub away the dust of the day with a well-earned bath. Kids will love watching as Crane, Backhoe, Bulldozer (and more) each enjoy bath time in their own special way. With colorful visuals and a calming pace, I Dig Bathtime is sure to be the perfect story for winding down after a long day of play.

This delightful board book is available from Familius, a family focused publisher with a mission to teach, inspire, and bring families together. I Dig Bathtime is playfully written by Brooke Jorden with beautiful illustrations by Ekaterina Ladatiko.

Splash along with Excavator and friends as they scrub-a-dub-dub away the dust of the day!

New Books

A girl is dreaming of a rocket ship. It’s blasting off, circling round—under, over, up and down. Where is the dream rocket headed? Sometimes it’s near. Sometimes it’s far. It’s up and to the left of that cluster of stars. Over and under, through the jaws of space gators. It blasts and it zooms all over the place—at the top or the bottom of the corners of space.

Which direction do you wander in your dreams? Do you know left from right, and the bottom from the top? Follow this dream rocket as it zooms in every direction imaginable—and even zooms upside down. Just try not to get too mixed up!

A directional primer, Where is the Rocket follows a spaceship across the page (and screen) as it teaches left, right, up, down, and everything in between. Written by Harriet Ziefert and illustrated by Barroux. Published by Blue Apple Books.

Blasting off, circling round—under, over, up, and down. Where is the rocket headed next? That depends on you!

Where Is The Rocket?

A red light says: stop! A green light says: go! Have fun learning all about “stop” and “go” in different situations; also, how “green,” “yellow” and “red” can mean different things too. Follow along as a mommy and daughter drive through the city. To get home, they’ll follow all the signs, and of course they’ll “stop” and “go!”

Stop and Go! is written by Harriet Ziefert, illustrated by Steve Mack, and published by Blue Apple Books.

Today is an exciting day. The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and Landon is going to visit the Museum of Natural History with his mom. He’s heard so many things about the museum. There’s a room full of butterflies, a huge whale hanging off the ceiling, and even giant dinosaur bones. He can hardly wait to get their tickets and walk inside.

But to get to the museum, Landon will have to do something he’s never done before—something that will open an entire world, hidden right beneath New York City. In the end, Landon might learn an important lesson: That when you open your heart to the world around you, the journey can be as magical as the destination.

Touching on themes of exploration, family bonds, and enthusiasm for trying new things, Landon Rides the Subway is a warm, lighthearted ode to the joys of childhood wonder. Written by Diana Perez, illustrated by Yip Jar Design, and published by Storybook Genius.

Landon is going to the museum with his mom. To get there, he’ll have to do something magical: Ride the NYC subway.
