Book cover Baby Danced the Polka
Karen Beaumont (2004) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Jennifer Plecas
Audience: Babies, Toddlers
Category: Books & Babies, Concept, Humor, Read Aloud

Put your dancing shoes on and get ready to polka! With chocolate brown cows and polka dotted sheep, how can anyone expect baby to go to sleep? This wonderfully adorable lift-the-flap book helps us dance our way through a farm day. When naptime comes the last thing baby wants to do is sleep. So, while Mom and Dad are trying to do their chores hauling the water and fixing the chow, baby is doing the boogie-woogie with all the farm animals. Clever rhyming text and highly colored illustrations help make this a great book to share with your favorite little dancer.

Bethia, age 9 from Singapore
It is cute and funny. I think that the baby will dance the polka funnily. I think this book is intersting.

Duck was in a hurry as she traveled past fields, trees, and a pond. Each brightly colored page adds a stripe in the rainbow. The bright colors and unusual shape of Frances Barry's book are sure to be a hit with emergent readers.

Book cover Goodnight, Goodnight, Sleepyhead
Ruth Krauss (2004) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Jane Dyer
Audience: Babies, Toddlers
Category: Books & Babies, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


A little one gets ready for bed by saying goodnight to everything from fingers and toes to doors and chairs. Krauss's soothing words will help the restless child get ready for bed. Dyer's illustrations result in a calming effect to the child in this story. A must read especially before bedtime.
