by Nadia Taylor (Abrams Appleseed, $9.99, ages 3-5) Into the Forest, following a little squirrel trying to find her mother in the forest, is tactilely stimulating, its illustrations full of raised features that create different textures and shapes. The final double-page spread includes a picture and name of every item in the pile. Each page-turn breaks the pile down, making it a little smaller on the right-hand page and identifying the individual object on the left: a leaf, an acorn, a grasshopper, a lost mitten. These new board books feature cool, inventive attributes sure to engage young readers.Ī Pile of Leaves by Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin (Phaidon Press, $18.95, ages 2-4) Published in collaboration with the Whitney Museum of American Art, A Pile of Leaves uses clear acetate pages and an autumnal palette to build a layered leaf pile. There are tons of books for children that include interactive aspects for the solo reader, like flaps, dials or pull-tabs.
