Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners

Laurie Keller

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2007

Loved it!
My children, ages 6 and 4, both loved the book. The story line was cute, so they absorbed the lesson without really knowing there was a lesson to be learned! Of course, an otter tooted in the story, so what four year old boy wouldn't love it! I am bringing this into ...

Carnival of the Animals: Classical Music for Kids

Camille Saint-Saens, Barrie C. Turner

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1999

Great Fun!
My three year old and six year old both love hearing the animal sounds created by the music.It is so enjoyable to hear beautiful music while reading along and viewing the very colorful illustrations. This is one we will definitely read over and over again. A great ...

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Bill Martin Jr.

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1996

Great book for young readers
Great book. My son's favorite. At 9 months of age he knew it by name.

Brown Bear & Friends Board Book Gift Set

Bill Martin, Eric Carle

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2007

Beautiful, off-beat books.
Our baby girl loves these books. They're pretty well indestructible. The artwork is charming and a little trippy. The panda book in particular is simply gorgeous. Highly recommended.

The Empty Pot (An Owlet Book)

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1996

Should be in every child's library!
This is such a wonderful book about honesty and humility. I saw it on Between the Lions one day and fell in love with the story. Not much else to say but to make sure you get this book!!

Tikki Tikki Tembo

Arlene Mosel

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1968

it's the details
I recall this book fondly from my childhood and my four year old loves listening to me read it to him. He's a sucker for repeated phrases anyhow, but now as a mom to two boys (both with long names) I am reveling again in the wonderful details in the pictures- the ...

The Scrambled States of America

Laurie Keller

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2002

A Show Worth Watching!
Okay, call me a sucker for any book that teaches while it entertains. This book excels at both. The premise is that, in the middle of the night, the state of New York woke up from a dream and shouted to all the other states, "HEY, EVERYONE--LET'S HAVE A TALENT SHOW!" ...

Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear?

Bill Martin Jr.

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 1997

Introducing animals and their sounds
I bought this book together with "Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?" a couple of days ago, and my 3y.o. kid loves them both. My son helps me read out loud and is learning complicated words like "boa constrictor". It's very simple and great for introducing new ...

Baby Bear, Baby Bear, What Do You See?

Bill Martin

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2007

Excellent
My 2-year old son loves this book. He loves all the animals and way it reads. It is a great edition to the collection.

The Book of Three (The Chronicles of Prydain)

Lloyd Alexander

Henry Holt and Co. BYR Paperbacks, 2006

A Wonderful Experience.
I first read the Prydain Chronicles when I was 10 years old, and can safely say that in my 45 years, I have never enjoyed a series of books more. To those who haven't read them, I am truly envious--to be able to enjoy and savor these books for the first time would be ...

The Castle of Llyr (The Chronicles of Prydain)

Lloyd Alexander

Henry Holt and Co. BYR Paperbacks, 2006

I am so glad I found these...
A friend loaned me her copies of this series. I enjoyed them so much I wanted my children to be able to read them, but I was apprehensive about having them read her autographed copies, and they weren't available at our local library. I was so delighted to find them ...

The Black Cauldron (The Chronicles of Prydain)

Lloyd Alexander

Henry Holt and Co. BYR Paperbacks, 2006

Great Fantasy
Lloyd Alexander was one of my favorite authors as a young adult and his work has really held up now that I'm an adult. The stories and characters are just so well crafted and executed. This is a great book to go back to or to get for someone who is just starting to ...

Taran Wanderer (The Chronicles of Prydain)

Lloyd Alexander

Henry Holt and Co. BYR Paperbacks, 2006

Very pleased with Taran Wanderer
This book is probably my favorite of all the Prydain Chronicles . . . It's maybe not as intense as some of the others are, but I love how Taran travels around and meets so many interesting characters and learns to view life differently by seeing how they live and view ...

My Preschool
Anne Rockwell

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2008

Join a happy little boy during a day at preschool, from cheerful hellos in circle time, to painting colorful pictures and playing at the water table before snack time. The best part of saying good-bye at the end of the day is that the little boy knows he will come back tomorrow. In her signature style, Anne Rockwell captures a child?s preschool ...

Panda Bear, Panda Bear, What Do You See? Board Book

Bill Martin, Eric Carle

Henry Holt and Co. (BYR), 2006

Soon to be a classic
Another great book in the series. This one has a great message about protecting the animals children grow to love while reading Erin Carle.
