Come Over to My House
AuthorTheo LeSieg
ISBN0001711296
I got this book from the library only to find that I own it. I didn't think I had read it and while reading it I realized the pictures were familiar and it became clear I had read this as a child.

The art is not very Dr. Seuss, but it is good stuff and the text is total Seuss. This book explores different...
"Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!"
AuthorPatricia Thomas
ISBN0688093388
Oh my goodness. So funny, I truly did laugh out loud. The pictures are funny enough for toddlers to enjoy, the rollicking rhyme will encourage an independent reader to read this over and over, the pictures of the animals reacting to the elephant's announcement are vividly both true to the animals and...
The Baby Unicorn
AuthorJean Marzollo
ISBN0590401955
I love this book. As a kid, it was my absolute favorite. So much so that, in fourth grade, the school librarian gave me the copy out of the school library because I was the only person who checked it out. I would check out the book for a week, return it for a week as was policy, and then take it again. This went on...

My kid's grandma bought us a 12 book set of the original Beatrix Potter books. I'll be reviewing them at random and out of order.

Okay, I'm not sure if this one is actually a good book for kids, but it might be my favorite of the 12 we have.

There's a crappy little world of squirrels who misunderstand...

AuthorA.A. Milne
ISBN0525447105
This book is intended for the young reader to read. And by young reader I mean those old enough to be interested in Winnie the Pooh. I have a hard time believing this.

First, logistically this book is not suited for the young reader. It is tiny. The print is tiny. The pictures would not keep the young...

If you are hanging from a trapeze
And up sneaks a camel with bony knees,
Remember this rule, if you please—
Never talk to strangers.

This book brilliantly highlights situations that children will find themselves in—whether they’re at home and the doorbell rings, or playing...

Piggies in the Pumpkin Patch
AuthorMary Peterson
ISBN1570914613
Cute, but not spectacular. The text is fun and alliterative, the short length making it great for the youngest audiences. A lot of the story and action is contained in the pictures so that they work well with the text, especially with the fun round shapes which are echoed across the page. However, there's...

One of my favorite books as a child. I never had my own copy but would borrow it from the library and renew all the time. I had not read it for over 25 years and today I came across a copy at my local library's annual used book sale. It brought tears to my eyes to see it again!
It is a heartwarming story and it...
