Mixup for yesterday’s #NewIllustrationOfTheDay. THIS is the work of animator Tom Tinn-Disbury from Duck Delivers, about a duck who finds adventure as a postman. More heaps of socks (see Miho Satake, earlier this week) and lively comic animation skills. Hodder 3 July. @hachettechildrens.bsky.social

This one is perfect for those kids who are at that stage where “Boo!” is hilarious. With rhymes and short text, this story of a boy who tries to scare his family is an excellent addition to toddler storytime. Be prepared for repeat readings. #kidlit 📚👍🏼 @pubspotlight.bsky.social

South with the Seabirds is another cool picture book by Jess McGeachin. It follows four women scientists on an expedition to Macquarie Island in 1959. I liked the gorgeous watercolour illustrations of albatrosses, Antarctic fur seals, Gentoo penguins, and twilight skies. 1/2 💙📚👍🏼 #BookSky #KidLit

The cover of a children’s picture book titled South with the Seabirds: Follow four remarkable scientists to the edge of the world, by Jess McGeachin. A watercolour illustration depicts a red and white scientific icebreaker sailing across a calm ocean, framed by grey, rocky outcrops on either side. Penguins perch on the rocks, and seabirds glide across a wispy blue sky.
