Children

The sky is falling!  This is one of my favorites to read with little kids because they always know more than the silly chicken (reminds me of voters vs. our elected leaders).

I recently read this to my wife, and we both fell in love with this six year old who lives at The Plaza, constantly orders room service and, of course, charges everything.

Don’t forget mom on May 11^th.

The perfect graduation gift, and a wonderful pick-me-up after reading the tear-jerker Love You Forever.  A positive attitude will take you far.

If you think you have problems, my advice is to read this book about Alexander’s crises.

Keep your creativity in mind when relaxing this summer.

This mathematical love story was made into an Academy Award-winning short film by Chuck Jones.  Buy this, and read it to that special someone.  I GUARANTEE you will enjoy this story.

A funny tale of President Taft seeking the source of a heavenly aroma as he gets off the train in a small town.  Makes you hungry reading it.

A great introduction into the good and bad of America:  baseball and segregation.  Great photos and anecdotes.

A nice look at the grand U.S. of A.

I love rhyming books.  A great way to learn animals, this book includes illustrations from the wonderful Steven Kellogg.

This is one of my favorite children’s books, as it includes several hilarious different takes on traditional fairy tales.  Kids crack up at this book.

Another laugher that kids adore, especially when they get to particpate:  “Click, clack, moo!  Click, clack, moo!   Clickety, clack, moo!”

If you want to get a jump-start on Halloween, this book is a load of laughs.  Friendship is also its theme, but this book has a happy ending.

Bizarre and brilliant, this beautifully illustrated book is a great stimulus for children’s curiosity.  Wiesner is to children’s books what Picasso was to art:  constantly challenging our notions of how things are supposed to be.  Watch out for flying frogs in the middle of the night!
