Top Picks:<\/p>\n

All by Myself<\/strong>: Baby Elephant wants to pick his own leaves for lunch. He tries a kinds of things but he’s just too little. Finally, Mama Elephant gives him a hand. The artwork in this book was delightful.<\/p>\n

Katie Loves the Kittens<\/strong>: New pets in the house, and Katie is too exited. All ends well.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

The Girl Who Spun Gold<\/strong>: Another incarnation of the Rumplestiltskin fairy tale.<\/p>\n

Every Little Thing<\/strong>: There’s more story in the art than the text.<\/p>\n

A Big Cheese for the White House<\/strong>: a fiction book about a historical event.<\/p>\n

Stellaluna<\/strong>: An old favorite I never read. Another take on the “I love me” story.<\/p>\n

Silly Tilly<\/strong>: just like the title says – silly. The art is fun.<\/p>\n

Fly Free<\/strong>: A story about the Buddhist idea of kharma. A bit on the preachy side for my tastes. Nice watercolor on wood grain illustrations.<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

I also read 2 other books at the book store, but had no way to record what I’d read and now I can’t recall. One was a “mommy loves you so much” type book, and the other was some sort of animals having fun book. I wish I could remember the titles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
