Angus and the Ducks
Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), 1997
Dogs Rule!
I think this (or Make Way for Ducklings) was my first library book. At any rate, it starated me on a lifelong love of reading--and dogs! The illustrations capture every nuance of a dog's body language--you can practically feel Angus' warm little tummy as he stands up ...

Nothing Beats a Good Hug

The Story about Ping (Reading Railroad Books)
Marjorie Flack
Grosset & Dunlap, 2000
Don't Take it so Seriously
People who find this book cruel are taking it too seriously. Most of all, this book has been loved by all 5 of my children. It is clever and fun, and has a happy ending. I plan to continue reading it to children and maybe someday grandchildren.

Viking Juvenile, 1991
Aren't we a little too sensitive?
Come on folks -- I think you are taking this political correctness thing a little overboard (pun intended). You need to think "age appropriate". The reading level for this book is ages 4 to 8 so (surprise, suprise)it might not be age appropriate for a two year old. ...
