Dr. Seuss, Theodor Seuss Geisel
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
What more can be said about a Classic Dr. Seuss?
I purchased this for my granddaughter because my daughter wanted to read it to her! So, I think I bought it for both of them.
All my children were raised on this and the other classic Dr. Seuss books. It's a fun thing to read for young and old. It gets the giggles ...

I Can Draw Animals (Usborne Playtime Series)
Ray Gibson
Educational Development Corporation, 1998
simple instruction great results
From the day my 5 year old daughter got hold of this book and "I can draw people" she is stuck with these. She completed 4 drawings at one sitting and always wants to do more. The best part is the simple visual instruction that shows the way without any adult ...

The Polar Express
Chris Van Allsburg
Houghton Mifflin, 1985
Another outstanding Van Allsburg treat!
What can one say about an illustrator like Van Allsburg? The Polar Express is almost not a children's story but for the child with a vivid imagination (and may there still be a few in existence!!) they will identify with the little boy who travels in his dreams by the ...

Green Eggs and Ham (I Can Read It All by Myself Beginner Books)
Dr. Seuss
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1960
The Greatest American Philosopher
As a mom of a 24 and an 8 year old (I know . . . big surprise) I am firmly of the opinion that Dr. Seuss is the greatest American philosopher! In this book he urges us to try things that we may be afraid of or even repelled by. Many folks think this book applies only ...

The Story of the Pilgrims (Pictureback(R))
H.L. Ross
Random House Books for Young Readers, 1995
Kids don't even know they're learning history
I have been perusing children's books for historical events and people. This is a nice introduction to the Mayflower and the history of Thanksgiving. It gives enough detail that very young children will actually learn some history, yet it is short and to the point to ...

Random House Books for Young Readers, 1957
Two boys' review: Simply, a classic
I couldn't imagine our children's bookshelf without
The Cat in the Hat
Green Eggs and Ham
The Lorax
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
This silly story centers around self-responsibility. The children panic because they know their mother won't be happy if she ...

Walter the Farting Dog
William Kotzwinkle, Glenn Murray
Frog Children's Books, 2001
Walter the Farting Dog -- A Dog Trainer's Perspective
I don't know how William Kotzwinkle and Glenn Murray learned of my dog George. Somehow, though, they must have heard the tale - like the fart heard round the world - and seen in his story the drama, the suspense to capture an audience and make their New York Times ...

How to Lose All Your Friends (Picture Puffins)
Nancy Carlson
Puffin, 1997
Must have!
As a school counselor and then as a therapist, I use this book with all ages, 3-18 to teach the basics of friendship skills. It's simple, basic, practical and the most used friendship book I've owned.
One fun key, is to skip the last page on the first reading.

A Classic
This book was handed down to me from a neighbor when I was a child 35+ years ago. It was a favorite of mine and I saved it for many years. Now my 2 year old can recite it almost word for word and we read it almost every day. I'm finally breaking down and buying a ...

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland: A Pop-up Adaptation
Lewis Carroll

My whole family loved this Robert Sabuda book
I'm a fan of clever dimensional art and this book is one of the more impressive works I've seen. But I was most impressed with the fact that the rest of my family was impressed too. They loved these beautiful and ingenious creations that arise from one page after ...
