Seven Blind Mice by Ed Young is a brilliant visual feast and a clever fable all rolled into one. It's the kind of book that seems simple on the surface, but with every read, you discover a new layer of meaning. Children will be captivated by the bold colors and striking illustrations, but the story's deeper message will linger with them long after the last page is turned.

Anansi and the Moss-Covered Rock, written by Eric Kimmel and illustrated by Janet Stevens, is a playful retelling of a traditional West African folktale featuring the trickster spider, Anansi. The story follows Anansi as he discovers a mysterious moss-covered rock with magical powers and uses it to trick the animals of the jungle.
