Chicken Soup with Rice: A Book of Months
HarperTrophy, 1991
A Gem of a Book
This is a wonderful little book. I loved it 40 years ago and my twins love it now. They enjoy helping me finish each month by singing "... chicken soup with rice!"
The cute drawings add to the fun -- but be warned, one of them is very un-PC! We're not in 1962 any ...

3779 - Wild Things Growth Chart
Maurice Sendak
Peaceable Kingdom Press, 2006
Absolutely adorable!
This growth chart is great! It's a lot heavier-duty than I had expected - kind of like the the cover of a children's hardcover book. It will definitely hold up in a little wild thing's room! :)
