The youngest child can learn about

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

reading aloud or one on one.

Cat and Mouse
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.

Being lonely can make you grumpy.
That’s what happens to a large gray cat
living on his own. One night during a
thunderstorm, a small orange kitten
shows up. She’s determined to make the
big cat like her. The large
illustrations in this charming tale of
friendship, manage to exude a lot of
expression which small children will
easily relate to. The large format of
this book makes it excellent for
reading to a group.

If Animals Kissed Good Night
Ann Whitford Paul (2008) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by David Walker
Audience: Babies, Toddlers, Preschool
Category: Books & Babies, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)
|
A human mother uses her imagination and
tells her daughter how she thinks
animal parents kiss their babies
goodnight. Examples are the papa walrus
and his calf giving each
other “scritchy-scratchy kisses”, the
parrot and chick would “klick-klack
their beaks”, and the seal and his calf
would “blow big bubbled kisses”. A
repeated feature is the sloth and her
cub sloooooowly giving each other a
kiss that lasts until the end of the
book! The text is cleverly displayed on
each page, sometimes even matching the
animals or their movements. This is a
charming story for bedtime or anytime
with its cozy message and delightful
illustrations.
