Josephine's Picks

Josephine (aka: Jo or Jojo) is the more senior of The Book Catapult's resident small people, often seen taking every book down from the wall in the kids section, spinning the Beginning Readers spinner as hard as she can, 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.
