Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin (Aladdin Picture Books)
Lloyd Moss
Aladdin, 2000
Love This Book!
This is my 4 y.o.'s favorite book. We had read it to her so many times that she has memorized it. She can name every instrument and tells me which ones she likes the best. A plus plus.

For Laughing Out Loud: Poems to Tickle Your Funnybone
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1991
The best of the best
The only thing that may rival a book of poems by the master of children's poetry, Jack Prelutsky, is a collection of humorous poems selected by Jack Prelutsky. Not to give too much away, how can anyone resist a 2-page poem about collecting pancakes, or a limerick to do ...

The Brand New Kid
Katherine Couric, Marjorie Priceman (Illustrator)
Doubleday, 2000
TRUE
A story about a boy, Lazlo, who is new in school. The kids in his class make fun of him. I think we can all relate to Lazlo in all different ways. People have made fun of you, and you have also made fun of other people. But in Lazlo's case, the students in his ...

The Bake Shop Ghost
Jacqueline Ogburn
Sandpiper, 2008
Recommended
For me this book is about the values of sharing and kindness. For that reason I have a great esteem for "The Bake shop Ghost" . Another book that I very much recommend for the same reason is a new series by B. Nowiki titled "Why Some Cats are Rascals". I am very much ...

One of Each
Mary Ann Hoberman
Little, Brown Young Readers, 2000
My son is obsessed
I got this book from the library for my 2 year old and he absolutely adores it. He asks me to read it all of the time! I have to force him to pick a different book to read (for my sanity). The illustrations are very colorful and just grab his attention. There is a ...

Atheneum/Anne Schwartz Books, 2005
Wonderful story for the little ones
Great book for kids fascinated with Hot Air Balloons. It centers around the "mostly true" story of the first hot air balloon ride in France. Cute illustrations and historical references on the inside covers make it an educational and interesting read. Also check out ...

How to Make an Apple Pie and See the World (Dragonfly Books)
Marjorie Priceman
Dragonfly Books, 1996
Great book!
We had so much fun with this book! We used it with the Five-in-a-Row Homeschool curriculum and enjoyed it so much. Besides being a really neat children's book in general, there is a lot to learn about geography and language and other cultural benefits in this book. ...

Cousin Ruth's Tooth
Amy MacDonald
Sandpiper, 2003
not as good as their first book
I probably would have liked this book much more if I didn't already own "Rachel Fister's Blister", which is excellent. "Cousin Ruth's Tooth" is cute and zippy, with cats which my 1 year old daughter likes, and funny details which adults will appreciate. But if you ...

What Zeesie Saw on Delancey Street
Elsa Okon Rael
Simon & Schuster Children's Publishing, 1996
Absolutely outstanding
This would be a fine book even if it were only a well-executed example of those "learn about a culture" books. But it is much more. The book teaches -- without the heavy-handed EXPLANATIONS that so often destroy the flow and writing and make the whole thing seem so ...

My Nine Lives by Clio

Clio answers all of histories mysteries!

Rachel Fister's Blister Book & Cassette (Read Along Book & Cassette)
Amy MacDonald
Sandpiper, 1996
delightful, lyrical silliness
The text and illustrations are both great, and it holds my 8 month old daughter's attention despite its length. It will be even more fun to read to her as she gets older and can find Rachel's cat on each page, laugh at the silly blister remedies, and eventually read ...

Emeline at the Circus
Marjorie Priceman
Knopf Books for Young Readers, 1999
Marjorie Price meets Raoul Dufy
The artwork is exceptional. Elephants, giraffes, tigers, clowns and of course Emeline move through the pages with unequaled grace and cheerfulness. What appears to be a blotch of primary colours at first glance is almost magically transformed into subtle and tender ...
