Fancy Nancy
Jane O'connor
HarperCollins, 2005
The daycare kids go crazy for this!
The kids at the daycare where I work get this glazed expression now whenever they see this book - they chant FANCY NANCY over and over. The fancy girls who all love pink and purple and glitter, of course, took to this right away. All of the boys have hovered nearby ...

Bob Books, Set 1: Beginning Readers
Bobby Lynn Maslen
Scholastic, 2006
Great Beginning Books
These are great books for beginning readers. My 4 year old loves them because she can read them all by herself. All the words are three letters (or less) long which makes them very easy for kids to read. The stories are also silly and entertaining.

Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs

A book I read as a child and now my children adore!
As a young girl I read this book over and over, picturing myself as a citizen of Chew-and-Swallow, a town where it rains tomato soup and hot dogs, pancakes and eggs over easy, orange juice and spaghetti with meatballs.
I loved the detailed illustrations and the humor. ...

Bob Books Set 2-Advancing Beginners

Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Tale (Bccb Blue Ribbon Picture Book Awards (Awards))
Hyperion, 2004
I love Mo Willems!
My only complaint about this book is, I wish it were longer! I just adore anything Mo Willems writes, particularly the "Pigeon" books. The combination of cartoon art and actual photographs made the book visually wonderful.
A great gift, along with its sequel!
