The Teddy Bears' Picnic
AuthorJimmy Kennedy
ISBN0689835302
One of the gems I found at the Mill Valley Library Sale over the weekend. I love this book! As the adorable old gentleman at the volunteer table was ringing up my stack of books (25-cents, 25-cents, 25-cents--what a bargain!) he raised his eyebrow at this one. "Now, this one is $3.00," he said kindly. I grinned...
Dinosaur Time
AuthorPeggy Parish
ISBN0064440370
I loved the pronunciation guide. That is this book's strength. The problem with it is that it's dated- we've learned rather a lot about dinosaurs and their extinction since 1974. It was fun to read with a five year old dino maven-

I read "Dinosaurs lived everywhere for a long time. Then they died....

Micawber
AuthorJohn Lithgow

Perhaps better known to adults for his stage and screen work, actor John Lithgow has an amazing body of work for children. His picture books are some of my (and my children’s) absolute favorites!

Wanted: The Perfect Pet
AuthorFiona Roberton
ISBN0670073563
This was a wonderful sweet book until I noticed something that was just not right. The boy writes a list of why a Duck is a good pet and on that list is "Spare feathers can be used to build indian headdresses..." Why did this have to be included on the list? It's culturally insensitive and reinforces a bad outdated...
