Bibsy Cross and the Time Capsule

The fourth book of the beloved Bibsy series brings us to the end of 3rd grade, and Bibsy’s class is asked to put together time capsules. Bibsy has lots of vivid memories and a creative mind, but she’s not at all sure she wants to trap her childhood in a box! It’s not until her sweet Nanaberry comes to stay that she learns to look at project in a new way. This book is for regular-pegular ol’ Bibsy lovers and new readers alike! Illustrated by Dung Ho and published by Knopf/Penguin Random House in 2025.

★ “Scanlon’s masterly metaphors draw on relatably quotidian subject matter, and the pages fly by in brief, lively chapters, written in free verse and presented in large type… Poignant, funny, and perceptive—a lovely conclusion to a gem of a series.” — Kirkus
