Can I Tell You a Secret?

40 pp. | HarperCollins/Harper | May, 2016 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-239684-6 $17.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Christopher Weyant. "Pssst!...Could you come here for a sec?" Young frog Monty confesses to the reader that he can't swim: he's afraid of water. Readers will be won over by Monty's relatable anxiety and by the (perceived) chance to help him ("What's that? You think I should tell someone? Like my parents?"). The ink and watercolor illustrations are tenderly cartoonish, suiting Monty's disarming narration.
