I have piles of picture books all around the house getting ready for our Halloween list, our Christmas list, and then in no time at all it will be time for the Dad Suggests Picture Book Awards.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">All that means that I have lots of brand-new, high-quality picture books on my mind, and narrowing that down to just 3 that I\u2019m excited about isn\u2019t an easy feat. And I think that means there\u2019s a pretty good chance that if you make Dad\u2019s Bookshelf in November, you must have a pretty fair shot at showing up in the Dad Suggests Picture Book Awards as well!<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">One thing that I didn\u2019t do this time around is include any holiday books at all. There won\u2019t be any spooky stories or Santa stories in November &#8211; just good old-fashioned beautiful books. Our bookshop might be drowning in Christmas spirit, but here I\u2019m going to talk about the neat new books I want to talk about it and that\u2019s just the way it is.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">There are a couple of very familiar names being highlighted this time around. Christian Robinson and Sydney Smith are both artists that inspire us often &#8211; and definitely capture our attention when they release a new book. But we also have a book on this list that might be more under the radar for you &#8211; and it\u2019s an absolute delight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Hopefully you enjoy this short reprieve from nonstop Christmas carols, and hopefully I\u2019m able to help you find a wonderful new book to enjoy this month. Have fun discovering the books we\u2019re enjoying in our house, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><em>Dad\u2019s Bookshelf is a continuing, monthly series featuring the kids books we are most excited about each month. The series is named after the real life bookshelf we have in our home, where I keep all of my favorite picture books of all time. While the books we share on Dad\u2019s Bookshelf are often brand new releases, it\u2019s also not uncommon for us to be excited about an older book we just discovered or rediscovered. <\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\"><em>Disclosure: Some of the links in this article are affiliate links that will lead you to view the books on Bookshop.org and Amazon.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '195126074542159', {}, {agent: 'plsquarespace'});\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By the time November comes around, choosing the books that go on Dad\u2019s Bookshelf just keeps getting harder and harder.
