Josephine's Picks

Josephine (aka: Jo or Jojo) is the more senior of The Book Catapult's resident small people, often seen rollerskating through the shop, reading every book in the early reader spinner, or dancing on the sidewalk in front of the store. As the daughter of Seth and Jen, she knows her books - these are some of her favorites. From new picture books to classic board books and early chapter books, Jo's got you covered.
