Surreal: Seeing your name on a book after years of working to be a published author. April release but available for pre-order now. To think that a book I wrote will find its way to kids at home, at school, in the library... this is truly humbling. Pre-order link next 1/2

This book is a fantastic read for grown-ups, too! bookshop.org/p/books/milkwe…

Who knew a raccoon lived in Calvin Coolidge's White House? Not me! It's a great, true story. On Amazon—and your local indie bookstore can get it for you, too.

This beautiful story, told in spare, rhyming language, is illustrated w/gorgeous, detailed art. Information sidebars give scientific details worded so even very young kids will understand them. I highly recommend this beautiful book! bookshop.org/p/books/milkwe…

Just in case you need a few sweet skunks! Pair this with the book, If You Wake a Skunk by @DoeringerAuthor and Florence Weiser!

@RTG_TutorGuitar Thank you for the book love!

I love how this book presents the challenge of dealing with invasives. Using kid-friendly language, the text highlights the problem’s complexity: There are no simple solutions, and sometimes, a solution backfires. bookshop.org/p/books/nature…

On my blog: Spongy moth musings & a terrific related kids’ book recommendation: Nature Out of Balance: How Invasive Species Are Changing the Planet, by Merrie-Ellen Wilcox. A must-read for kids who care about our planet! @orcabook caroldoeringer.com/caterpillar-ra… Book link next 1/2

I adore this fun but fact-based story where a mother duck tries to convince her nestlings to jump from their nest high in a tree. Your little ones will love thinking about these beautiful birds from the ducklings’ point of view! amazon.com/Little-Ducks-W…

On my blog, wood ducks land on a snag... do the resident squirrels object? W/a recommended kids’ book: Jump, Little Wood Ducks by @mariondanebauer & photos by @TekeilaStan. Fun, fact-based story w/stunning images. Great for ages 4-8. caroldoeringer.com/watching-wood-… book link next 1/2

Stinkin’ fun news! Thanks to K-2nd kid voters across the US and to @CBCBook for including If You Wake a Skunk on the 2024 Children’s Favorites list. Yay for having a laugh while learning about often-misunderstood skunks!

@kbeggsauthor Just don’t wake the skunks, and everything will be fine. Maybe!

Perfect timing! @DoeringerAuthor Donated these for our #storywalk and I just got a message this morning from a coworker that said the skunks were back.

When a skunk arrives at a campsite, what are a pair of campers to do! Does the little skunk have the stink to stank the campers? Find out the fate of the campsite in “If You Wake a Skunk” from @DoeringerAuthor and @FlorenceWeiser! 🦨⛺ rb.gy/u88jwq

@kbeggsauthor I’ll be happy to mail you 2 copies of my PB, If You Wake a Skunk. Having it on your story walk might come in handy if skunks return to your playground ! Message me if interested.

I’ve been Frankensteining #pb books by buying two copies and dissecting them and putting them back in spreads for our #storywalk #librarians everywhere will appreciate this time saver. I would even be willing to pay the price of two copies for one story walk!

#pb #writingcommunity If your book is also printed specifically for a #storywalk please drop the link.

I just love the collage art in this book, and the text is just beautiful. bookshop.org/p/books/how-st…

On my blog: Starling meets snag. W/a recommended kids’ book: How Starling Got His Speckles by Keely Parrack @keelyinkster, art by Antonio Boffa.

This wonderful book is fiction. But it mirrors exactly how I feel about the real trees whose stories touch my life every day. bookshop.org/p/books/linden…

On my blog today, an ode to trees & lots of love for the soon-to-be-released #picturebook LINDEN-The Story of a Tree, by @ColleenMuske from @marblepressbooks. It's a touching tale about a community’s love for a special tree. #more-4528" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">caroldoeringer.com/tree-love/#mor… Book link next 1/2
