Anne Grossnickle Hines (2008) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by
Audience: Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Books & Babies, Poetry, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


The youngest child can learn about numbers and rhyme from reading this patchwork of counting fun! Hines has taken the art of quilting and stitched it to a classic nursery rhyme. She has created colorful quilted pictures made with patterned materials, thread, yarn and buttons. This is a great book for reading aloud or one on one.

Book cover Cat and Mouse New Review
Ian Schoenherr (2008) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by
Audience: Babies, Toddlers
Category: Books & Babies, Classics, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Follow a lively little mouse running through the house carrying a little blue umbrella. Right on her tail is a cat playfully chasing her through three nursery rhymes. In “Hickory Dickory Dock”, they fly up the clock until the mouse uses the umbrella to float down. But, the fun doesn’t stop there. With only a white background, the large bold images seem to pop off of the pages. Adding to the visual appeal is the hand painted text with its varying sizes and shapes. This book can’t help but charm toddlers as well as adults.

Book cover Daddy Hug New Review
Tim Warnes (2008) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Jane Chapman
Audience: Babies, Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Tim Warnes and Jane Chapman have teamed together to create a colorful and playful celebration to honor daddies. There are lots of fun action packed words in this book such as "hic-cup" and "crash." But most important of all this story shows, "Daddy safe, daddy snug, daddy tender . . . daddy hug." Soothing illustrations make the reader return to look at the animals multiple times. Playful text size and shape helps give the story motion.
