My 16 favorites are below. They are all picture books with the exception of one easy chapter book. I'll have to do another post on some of my favorite chapter books and young adult novels.
This book was recommended to me. I laughed and cringed at a couple of the pictures of Simon and his snotty, sick face. In the end, the germs (who are not afraid to introduce themselves) talk to Simon and he learns better habits.
This alphabet book included some different occupations such as skateboarder, explorer, aviator, and oceanographer. Both the jobs included and the illustrations were interesting.
A teacher friend mentioned this book several times, so when I stumbled across it at the library I had to grab it. Rapunzel misunderstands everything the prince says and it leads to some funny outcomes. The rhyming text and silly pictures would make this a fun read aloud.
Cute beginner chapter book. I liked Dory. She annoys her siblings and she's spunky and imaginative.
When I saw this new Elephant and Piggie title I grabbed it right away. Yet another good one from Mo Willems.
A little bird is tired of saying the same thing day after day. He makes up funny sounds to say but Crow does not approve. This will make for a fun read aloud with all the silly sounds.
This is a lift-the-flap board book good for toddlers. The illustrations were bright, the text rhymes, and it includes animals sounds.
A nice book for kids dealing with a move. It includes two word phrases and pictures that clearly show how the kids are feeling as things are getting packed away. The ending shows that a tough move doesn't have to be bad forever.
This was a sweet book for a parent to read to a child. The text was simple and the illustrations included some shimmery shine to make it eye-catching for little ones.
I've read this book before but wanted to reread it. I like that Little Pea has trouble when it comes to eating candy. He would rather be eating his vegetables.
Will their plan to catch a bird work? This was a funny book with great illustrations.
An entertaining take on the telephone game. The birds keep messing up the message Peter's mother sends until a wise one sets them straight.
Any time you have an excuse to say the word "butt" with kids, you'll have an engaged audience. In this title, you get to talk about all kinds of animal butts. Share with caution!
I like finding new wordless books. The illustrations in this one are simple pencil and watercolor drawings. The boy loses his airplane and spends a lifetime trying to get it back.
A creative story inspired by a real lion statue in Paris. Cool illustrations in an over-sized, horizontal format made this book stand out.
Another book someone recommended I read. A boy discovers a whale in his pool. His mom doesn't help him get it out. He attempts to bargain with the whale. Read it to find out what happens. This would be a fun read aloud because the boy has such a strong voice in this story.
Happy Reading!
