The Best New Children's Books of the Month

Mar 01, 2024

Spring into new books for a new season! With so many great titles hitting the shelves this March, there's no better time to refresh your child’s home library and encourage them to build a reading routine

Whether your child is exploring picture books, graphic novels, or chapter books, there are plenty of titles they won't want to miss this March. These books, which cover important themes like confidence and friendship among others, are full of rich narratives and unforgettable characters.

For instance, young readers will adore The Reflection in Me, a sweet story about self-love and self-acceptance. This charming picture book will empower readers to find the courage to look inwards and love all the unique qualities that make them who they are. 

Fans of graphic novels will be sure to love the highly anticipated Dog Man #12: The Scarlet Shedder from best-selling author and illustrator Dav Pilkey! Your child will rejoin their favorite canine superhero and meet a never-before-seen villain who unleashes an army of A.I. robots. Pre-order your copy today (on shelves March 19th!). 

Meanwhile, introduce older readers to Legends of Lotus Island #3: City of Wishes, the latest installment in the Legends of Lotus Island fantasy series. When Plum and her friends first arrive in Nakhon City for their New Year break, they are dazzled by how big the city is. But a storm in brewing and Plum must embrace her growing powers to survive it.
