Picture Book

While Bear slumbers in his cave through the long, cold winter, Mouse, Hare, Badger and some other forest friends make tea and popcorn and have a full-fledged party in his lair!  What will Bear do when he wakes up to discover he's the unwitting host of a soiree that he's been left out of?

In his dark, quiet room, a little boy is trying to sleep, but that noisy tiger in his closet is making it impossible for him to snooze!  First, Tiger is noisily crunching on potato chips; then, he's bouncing a playground ball...  He evens plays music as a one-man (one-tiger?) band!  Will the boy ever manage to get Tiger to quiet down?

A few clues and a die-cutout that peeks through to the next page provide a preschool-level challenge for youngsters to sharpen their recognition of farm animals.  This book is fun with a crowd but would be equally fun one-on-one with a special grown-up.

This sweet story about Winnie-the-Pooh is a good reminder that presents are nice to give, honey is yummy to eat, and pictures books are fun to look at.  Here at the library, we certainly approve that message!

Unfortunately, this book is out of print and none of the libraries in our consortium still own it.  Never fear; our office copy is in good shape, so we can continue to share it with you at storytime.

This abridged, board book version of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom is a perfect introduction to the classic picture book featuring the intrepid letters of the alphabet boldly climbing the coconut tree.  Be ready to read it again and again and again!

Sam loves his car and takes good care of it.  He makes sure it has oil, points out the different parts of the car, stops for pedestrians, and reads the road signs.  What a stand-up guy!  He drives his car to work, where he drives... a bus! 

Let's count animals, starting with 1 gorilla!  Reading this oldie but goodie, featuring lifesize photos of chickens, cats, tortoises and more, is such a fun way for preschoolers to practice counting.  We wish it was still in print so we could buy more copies for the library!
