The newest additions to the Wee Society collection at Art.com aim to bring play to walls everywhere.
Wee Society designed several sets of new wall decals to encourage interaction and imagination.
One set includes the headline, "You know what's awesome?" along with illustrations of stuff like kites, lava and fool's gold—as well as blanks, so kids can draw in their own awesome ideas. Another set features the quirky faces and bodies of Wee You-Things that can be arranged and rearranged.

Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
This book about bedtime at the zoo was an early favorite at our house. Many an evening has been spent following this unobservant zookeeper—identifying animals, finding the little mouse, banana and balloon on each spread, and hysterically giggling when the zookeeper's wife wakes to find a gorilla in her bed. We've probably read it more than a thousand times, and it's yet to get old.
Nearly as wonderful as discovering there's a way to keep your lollipops protected from peril is finding bright, happy joy in the simple things. Things like:
A set of fun fruity stamps for summer
DIY robot hands (yes, you read that correctly)
Shoes made specifically for dancing on someone's feet
William Goldsmith's illustration of a busy dog-walker
Wisdom from the wonderful Roald Dahl

365 Penguins by Jean-Luc Fromental and Joelle Jolivet
A family receives a surprise delivery on January 1: a penguin. Another penguin arrives each day of the year, until the house is stuffed full of them. This silly story is entertaining, and it has an ecological message in its surprise ending. Bold illustrations make it a beautiful read, scoring a spot as one of our coffee table books.
For no particular reason, animals, illustrations and illustrations of animals seemed to be the theme of the week. Enjoy this silly selection of our top picks. Happy (long) weekend!
