(Page 1 of 2 pages)
Book cover A Good Day
Kevin Henkes (2007) , under 40 pages
Audience: Toddlers, Preschool, Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Books & Babies, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Sometimes even the animals have a bad day. Squirrels lose their nuts, birds lose their feathers and foxes can't find their mothers. But all it takes is a little luck to turn it all around. All it takes is a little luck, love and hope. The book's bold, colorful illustrations will delight the very young.

That was the best story I ever heard. I hope you go read a story called a sad day.


Book cover How Do You Make a Baby Smile?
Philemon Sturges (2007) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Bridget Strevens-Marzo
Audience: Babies, Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Books & Babies, Read Aloud


This is an engaging book for young children and mostly features baby animals with their mother or father. The text rhymes and includes questions like "How do you make a baby smile?" and "How do you make a baby laugh?". The large, colorful illustrations take up two pages and show smiling animals in a variety of settings. The book seems to invite children to move or make noises along with the animals. The warm ending makes this a perfect bedtime story.

Book cover Hurry! Hurry!
Eve Bunting (2007) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Jeff Mack
Audience: Babies, Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Read Aloud


All the animals on the farm are in a hurry! But, where are they going? Follow the clucking hen, leaping goat, quacking ducks, honking geese, spotted cows and other barnyard residents as they rush to the barn. Here, they gather to welcome a new member to the farm. Vivid, beautiful acrylic illustrations and simple text make this a favorite book to read again and again to little ones.
