Eric Litwin: Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes
Pete is a happening!!! Pair this amazing book with any child from 2-4 or more and let the magic begin!!! A free downloadable (is that a word?) audio of the author "singin' his song" is the best. The moral of Pete's story..."No matter what you step in, just keep walkin' along singin' your song, because it is all GOOD!" (*****)
Jim Averbeck and pictures by Tricia Tusa: In a Blue Room
This is a gem of a bedtime book! Picture books just don't get any better than this. The words and pictures are an absolutely magical pairing. Read this book and savor each word. DO NOT skip a single page...the reward is breathtaking for kids and adults too. A wonderful way to end the day. My Grandaughter Grace (3), hung on every word...I have a wonderful shared memory with a little girl that I get to see far less than I'd like! (*****)
