Caps for Sale: A Tale of a Peddler, Some Monkeys and Their Monkey Business
HarperTrophy, 1987
As much song as story.
This makes the top ten list out of all the great picture books we read to our kids when they were young. I never tired of reading it. So simple, symmetric, even musical. The story? How does the peddler get the monkeys to give back all the caps they've stolen from ...

The Chronicles of Narnia Boxed Set
C. S. Lewis

Aslan
I enjoyed this Chronicle tremendously. I wish the author had given the prelude between each book as to what lead up to it.
Other than that it was awesom.

From Caterpillar to Butterfly (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science, Stage 1)
Deborah Heiligman
HarperTrophy, 1996
Great and informative
We bought this book to accompany the Butterfly Pavilion from amazon.com. This book was a little above her level of understanding, she is only 2 after all. She did get the gist of it. Great illustrations and concise.

The Important Book

Simply Wonderful
A simple book about what is important about things such as grass, rain, a spoon etc. It is a super writing prompt to have children write about what is important about themselves.
