美国出版人周刊一年一度的暑期荐书，是该刊延续多年的老传统，也是在美国很受欢迎的一个专业的新书荐书栏目。今年推荐的儿童图画书新书为以下五本：
1） Best Frints in the Whole Universe，
作者：Antoinette Portis；
出版：Roaring Brook,
特点：两个小外星人之间的故事。
Two aliens with sharp teeth and tadpole-like tails that (luckily) grow back provide a very funny portrait of the travails of friendship on planet Boborp, "where teef are long and tempers are short." Portis's playfully semi-homophonic Boborpian language will have human readers in stitches.
2） Clara,
作者：Emily Arnold McCully，
出版：兰登书屋,
特点：发生在18世纪欧洲，一只河马的神奇遭遇。
McCully transports readers to 18th-century Europe in a moving portrait of the close relationship between a Dutch merchant marine, Captain Douwe Mout van der Meer, and a rhinoceros named Clara that took Europe by storm as they traversed the continent in a horse-drawn wagon.
3） Frank and Lucky Get Schooled,
作者：Lynne Rae Perkins，
出版： Greenwillow，
特点：最适合养狗的家庭的孩子。
As Perkins makes humorously clear, some of the best learning happens outside of the classroom—especially when you have a dog by your side. Trying to share a bed with a restless pup? That's fractions right there. And how better to embrace geography than with a long hike through the great out-doors?
4） A Piece of Home,
作者：Jeri Watts，
出版： Candlewick，
特点：韩国家庭移民美国的故事。移民家庭来一本。
A Korean family endeavors to adjust to life in the U.S. in this intimate story from Watts and Yum. Hee Jun hates how much he stands out, his younger sister acts out, and their grandmother, a onetime teacher, retreats into silence. It's a sensitive portrait of resilience and cross-cultural bridge-building.
5） Splashdance,
作者：Liz Starin，
出版：Farrar。
特点：游泳池里的发生的故事，很适合夏天阅读。
Summer is the perfect time to hit up the pool, but what if you're a polar bear trying to win a water ballet championship, and the pool has just banned bears? That's the setup for Starin's entertaining story as her heroine, Ursula, finds a crew of dedicated—and aquatically coordinated—allies to tackle injustice head-on.
