Who Took the Cookies From the Cookie Jar?
I am a kindergarten teacher and LOVE this book. My students enjoy the repetition of the phrases, "Who me, couldn't be!" and "Mmm... Oh!... Now I know..." as on each page skunk thinks he has solved the mystery of the missing cookies. Clever clues on each page help students predict which friend of skunk will appear on the next page. The happy ending, with all the friends sharing the cookies, ...

Carol Brink

North-South Books, 1996

Great interactive and bonding book
The illustrations are consistently creative and engaging Ashley Wolff. This book is great to read to children, as well as to have children read while baking the recipe together! What could be more delightful than creating something fun and nummy with your loved ones? I'm planning "Goody O'Grumpity" baking parties for my nieces, nephews, custodians and God children. Warm and wonderful for ...

The Wild Little Horse

Rita Gray

Dutton Juvenile, 2005

Ideal for Elementary Children
This book by Rita Gray is an encouraging book for children to feel the freedom of adventure with the confidence of supportive and close by parents. Even though the book is about a horse and his parents, children will be able to relate to the message of the story for themselves. (I read this book today to 26 first graders and they loved it.)

Baby Beluga (Raffi Songs to Read)

Raffi

Crown Books for Young Readers, 1992

A Great Classic
This book was an instant hit, and we have sung it many times each day for my 12 month old grandson. The board book form is especially important for a book so "loved" by toddlers.

Who Is Coming to Our House? (Sandcastle Book)

Putnam Juvenile, 1991

A House Favorite
I am SO SICK of this book. I have to read it over and over and over again all day long. My daughter (17 months) will pull it from the bottom of a pile of books and bring it to me to read. On the final page she pats the baby's face and says "Baby. Baby." It's a very sweet little book and worth getting; your child will love it.

Great book!
We're in Arizona, so the spanish speaking population is immense, so I want my daughter to learn Spanish. I bought this and "Queiro a Mi Mama Porque," and these are the only books my daughter wants to read before bed. They are absolutely adorable!

Splish, Splash! (My First I Can Read)

Sarah Weeks

HarperTrophy, 2000

wonderful illustrations and a fun story!
Slpish Splash is a wonderful beginner reading book. Chub the fish enjoys sitting in his tub and when ten of his friends want to come in chub says "jump in if you wish". But can a tub so small hold them all? The story is fun for beginner readers and Ashley Wolff's illustrations add colorful and playful fun that beginner readers and non-readers will enjoy looking at time and again. My five year ...

She'll Be Comin''Round the Mountain

Philemon Sturges, Ashley Wolff

Little, Brown Young Readers, 2004

One of the Best of the Year!
This book resembles the old western train ride at Disneyland before they transformed it into "Big Thunder Mountain Railroad." The opening pages have the same desert canyon terrain and hues of tan, umber, gold, yellow, orange, and purple. Illustrator Ashley Wolff places mountain goats in strategic locations (e.g., on top of boulders and natural terraces), an armadillo and a chipmunk read on top ...

Stella and Roy Go Camping

4 reviews

Yosemite Association, 2006

Follow Stella and Roy to remember your own family adventure.
Ever go camping? Stella and Roy and their mother won't forget this trek. Young readers won't either. This charming book will invite you and your youngster back again, over and over all through the year, to search out the wildlife hidden long the trail. Although set in Yosemite, the story can easily be translated into where you live. Talking over the family's last summer adventure and ...

Mama's Milk/Mama Me Alimenta

Michael Elsohn Ross

Tricycle Press, 2008

great, non-nipply nursing book
I love finding books that normalize breastfeeding to children, but a lot of them are too "nipply" to me -- as natural as it is, and as much as I might nurse a baby in public without a care, I don't like the books with nipples all over the pages. Maybe I just feel self-conscious if someone else should see the books, or maybe it's just me being prudishly American. Regardless, this book is quite ...

Simple and Sweet ....
This is such a sweet book to read with your young one! My toddler daughter enjoys the photos of the animal daddies with their little ones and can recall the activity from each page just by looking at the drawings ... 'A short book - great for those "just one more" requests!

One of my 4-year-old's absolute favorites, and educational to boot. The illustrations are especially good. We love Miss Bindergarten!

Scholastic, Inc., 2007

COLORFUL AND COMICAL ILLUSTRATIONS
Miss Bindergarten has much to celebrate. It's the last day of kindergarten and her class has had a very successful year. They've gone on field trips, marked the 100th day, learned, and had a lion's share of fun. Now, it's time to say good-bye to kindergarten. As related in bouncing rhyme, the first step is to get the room ready for the summer. "Danny scrubs a table. Emily hands back ...

I Love My Mommy Because... (Trumpet Club Special Edition)

Laurel Porter-Gaylord

Scholastic, 1991

Fantastic book for toddlers!
This, along with "I Love My Daddy Because..." has been one of my son's favorite books since he was about 14 months old. I'm ordering a new copy to put away for the day when he has his first child, and grandma can pass it along.

Quiero a mi Mama Porque (I Love my Mommy Because Eng/Span ed)

Laurel Porter Gaylord

Dutton Juvenile, 2004

A beautiful book!
You don't have to speak Spanish to enjoy this book. The drawings are beautiful and the words on each page are really touching. My 2-year-old son loves to identify the animals in the pictures and who could argue with sentiments like "I love my mommy because she keeps me warm and safe." I would highly recommend this book to anyone! The words are all printed in Spanish and English, including the ...

The Joys of Kindergarten
It's Sunday and poor Miss Bindergarten has come down with the flu and she won't be able to teach school tomorrow. But, not to worry, Mr Tusky, the very able substitute, is here. And with the help of the children, Adam the alligator, Brenda the beaver, Christopher the cat... and the rest of the alphabetized named class, they don't miss a thing...show and tell, drawing and painting, ...

Old Macdonald Had A Woodshop

Lisa Shulman

Putnam Juvenile, 2002

Great book - cute and good values
This book is definitely worth having. Our 2 1/4 year old son (who likes tools and loves music) loved the twist on a familiar and loved song. The depiction of Old MacDonald as a sheep and as a female!!!! who has a woodshop!!!! makes this a must have book to balance out, for both boys and girls, the lack of gender-neutral characters and over representation of gender-stereotypes that is ...

A New Miss Bindergarten Adventure.....
Join Miss Bindergarten as she and her wonderful alphabetically named animal class are off visiting community helpers on their first field trip. But before you turn that first page, take a look at all the different shapes on Miss Bindergarten's easel and see if you can find them as you read the book. First the class stops at the bakery where children learn to cut cookies and ice cakes. Then ...
