The story of Where Nests the Water Hen is as pure as the lives of the people in it – and as unforgettable.

The ABC Bunny
AuthorWanda Gág
ISBN0816644160
I think this particular Newbery Honor book falls solidly into the category if-only-there'd-been-the-Caldecott-before-1938. It's a perfectly pleasant book, but I just can't agree that it works with the text alone. Because it has the song printed at the front of my edition, I was able to read the text...
The Berenstain Bears and the Nerdy Nephew
AuthorStan Berenstain
ISBN0679836101
102 pages

I didn't know how this was going to be because I've never read one of their chapter books. Idk what it was about this book that made me pick it up in the first place. I noticed as soon as I started that the bears weren't talking the same. I know their other books are usually rhymed so they talk...

Franklin Rides A Bike
AuthorPaulette Bourgeois
ISBN0590693336
This is an entertaining and helpful story in the Franklin the Turtle series by Paulette Bourgeois. I'm not sure why we never really got into this series (after all, we love turtles!) Now our girls are getting a bit old for stories like this, so I'm not sure how many more we'll read.

I found this book...
Mud Puddle
AuthorRobert Munsch
ISBN1550374680
This is a pretty nonsensical story. I think it's basically just a statement about how some kids will find mud and manage to get dirty when they go outside, no matter what. Here we have a sentient mud puddle that kind of stalks a little girl named Jule Ann. It lurks in trees or on the roof and hides behind fences....

Little Quack
AuthorLauren Thompson
ISBN0689847238
I believe this is our first Lauren Thompson book, and we loved it. My preschoolers loved the counting lesson included, and my 5 yr old, who is learning to swim, loved the fear of the water part of it. Myself, I absolutely loved the names of the ducks, Widdle, Waddle, Piddle, Puddle, and Little Quack, and...

Curious George Goes Fishing
AuthorH.A. Rey
ISBN0618120718
I know there are bigger Curious George books, but when I am reading to toddlers I am mainly getting very small and short books, most of which are great.

This one comes as a small book, but is written as a large one, and is in fact an excerpt from a larger book. So even though a two year old can easily hold...
