Arthur’s Thanksgiving by Marc Brown – Almost Favorite, kind of fun with the turkeys

Arthur’s Family Vacation by Marc Brown – Almost Favorite, we love Arthur!

Clifford’s Spring Clean-up by Norman Bridwell – Favorite, we just recently started reading Clifford and my son really likes these books

Where is the Apple Pie? by Valeri Gorbachev – Favorite, my son loved this book; he also loves pie 🙂

Giddy-up! Let’s Ride! by Flora McDonnell – OK Favorite, sometimes my son didn’t want to read this, but I thought it was cute

Good Morning Sam by Marie-Louise Gay – Favorite, very fun and cute book that we both loved

The Cat Barked? by Lydia Monks – OK Favorite, nothing special

Very Boring Alligator by Jean Gralley – Almost Favorite, a fun book to read

I feel like every Children’s book I got this week was a good one! I enjoyed reading all of them and so did my son.

Just a snowy vacation by Gina Mayer – Almost Favorite, not the best Little Critter book, but still OK

Pigs aplenty, pigs galore by David M. McPhail – Favorite, my son loved this book and all the pigs – cute rhyming too

A world full of monsters by John Troy McQueen – Almost Favorite, an interesting idea…especially for older kids who are scared of monsters

What Daddy Loves by Jerry Smath – Favorite, good book about fathers

Shoe Baby by Joyce Dunbar – Favorite, very fun and entertaining book – I heard my son quoting it while he was playing

Fire Truck by Peter Sis – Almost Favorite, all boys like fire trucks

Where is P.B. Bear Going by Lee Davis – Favorite, my son really liked this book about a bear…I thought it was a little repetitive so just made up my own words based on the pictures and we were both happy

Sleep tight, Little Mouse by Mary Morgan-Vanroyen – OK Favorite, probably the least likable one we had this week, but still OK

Peedie by Olivier Dunrea – Almost Favorite, not one of Dunrea’s best, but my son still likes these little goslings

I didn’t go to the library last week due to our Christmas Vacation, so this is a review for the books we checked out 2 weeks ago.

Uncles and antlers by Lisa Wheeler – OK Favorite, I liked the general idea

Santa Claus by Laura Dollin – OK Favorite, not as good as I wanted

Let’s go, Froggy! by Jonathan London – Almost Favorite, we’ve gotten a Froggy Soccer book that was better than this one, but this was still a good one for kids

Some things go together by Charlotte Zolotow – Almost Favorite, a very cute book for parent and child

I love you, Mister Bear by Sylvie Wickstrom – Favorite, a very easy read about a girl who loves her teddy bear

Feed Matisse’s fish by Julie Appel – Almost Favorite, great book to help teach your kids about art

Who took the farmer’s hat? by Joan M. Lexau – OK Favorite

The wheels on the race car by Alex Zane – OK Favorite, my son only liked it a little bit because he likes the “wheels on the bus” song – this wasn’t a good change to the song, for one thing “race car” is way longer to say than “bus”

Arthur, It’s only Rock ‘n’ Roll by Marc Brown – OK Favorite, this Arthur book seemed way longer than the other ones…I had to hide it because I didn’t want to read it again

Belly Button Book! by Sandra Boynton – Favorite, we’ve checked this out a few times…very funny book for little kids obsessed with their belly buttons

The Donkey’s Christmas Song by Nancy Tafuri – Favorite, nice story involving Baby Jesus for Christmastime

Ollie the Stomper by Olivier Dunrea – Favorite, also one we’ve checked out many times

Bear’s Christmas Star by Mireille D’Allance – Favorite, my son seems to enjoy stories about bears

Miss Mouse’s Day by Jan Ormerod – Almost Favorite, I didn’t enjoy reading this one, but my son seemed to like it

The Farmer in the Dell by John O’Brien – Favorite, my son really liked this because I sang it instead of just reading it – we also have a toy that plays the “Farmer in the Dell” song so he was able to put pictures with the song and he loves music!

Baby Day by Susan Heyboer O’Keefe – OK Favorite, perhaps better suited for a baby/1 year old

The Chicken Sisters by Laura Joffe Numeroff – OK Favorite, kind of a strange book and a little long

If you take a mouse to the Movies by Laura Joffe Numeroff – Favorite, another book we’ve had before, but I got it since it involves Christmas

Ten Silly Dogs: a Countdown Story by Lisa Flather – Almost Favorite, dogs are always fun for little boys

Dilly Duckling by Claire Freedman – OK Favorite, nice “touch and feel” feathers but I don’t think I ever finished reading the whole book

Little Bear’s Little Boat by Eve Bunting – Favorite, my son loves anything described as “little” so this was fun to have a little bear with a little boat

Just Me in the Tub by Gina Mayer – Almost Favorite, these Little Critter books are always cute

Arthur’s Teacher Moves In by Marc Tolon Brown – Almost Favorite, my son really likes the Arthur books

Hey, Little Ant by Philip M. Hoose – OK Favorite, nothing too special but kind of interesting

One Cow, Moo, Moo! by David Bennett – Favorite, a fun book about animals and the noises they make

Clifford’s First Autumn by Norman Bridwell – Almost Favorite, my 2 year old seems to really like Clifford even though I think some of the stories are boring
