A is For Salad by Mike Lester
This is a funny alphabet book that is perfect for kids entering kindergarten. There is a letter & an animal performing an action on each page. A is for salad shows an alligator eating a salad. B is for viking shows a beaver dressed as a viking & so on until Z. The point of the book is for the child to realize the letter goes with the animal not what they are doing.
Pedro's Burro by Alyssa Satin Capucilli
My mom loves burro's so I sent a picture of this book to her. It's an I Can Read leveled reader or beginning reader. The story is really cute. Pedro & his dad are going to the market to get a new burro. The new burro has to be able to pull the cart & haul things they need, it needs to be just right. They are hoping to find one but the burro ends up finding them! He's adorable, pulling on Pedro's shirt & licking his dad's face. He's also wearing a cute straw hat, hes perfect!
Deep Sea Farm by Dahlov Ipcar
This book got turned in & the cover attracted me to it & you get to see lots of sea creatures & plants. The pictures are colorful The farmer is a mermaid who doesn't eat fish because he is a fish (obviously). There are all kinds of different animals under the sea like dogfish that have little collars & help herd animals and Sea hens that lay sea urchins instead of eggs. The farmer helps lobsters out of traps & frees fish from nets. The fishermen get tired of losing their catch so they move on to another part of the ocean. The fish are so happy they are finally free that they have a party!
Blueberries For Sal by Robert McCloskey
This book is a classic & a Caldecott Honor book. It is very simple & would be a good book to begin reading with. Sal & his mom go out to pick blueberries. There is also a bear & her cub out eating blueberries for the winter. At one point Sal & the Little Bear get switched & scare their mothers. But they all end up back safe & sound together.
Spider Sandwiches by Claire Freedman
This book was straight up gross so no wonder kids love it! It would be a great book for boys. Max is a monster that likes weird foods. He likes things like lice rice, slug milkshakes, & beetle cookies. The only thing he doesn'like is brussel sprout soup.
Kermit the Hermit by Bill Peet
I love Bill Peet but I had never read this one before. As always with these books the words rhyme & there is a great moral at the end. Kermit is a lonely, old crab who hoards things in his tiny cave. One day he goes looking for a shiny treasure on the beach& gets picked up by a dog & almost buried alive. But a young boy comes by & saves him. Kermit decides to repay the kid by helping him catch a fish, when that doesn't work he ends up on the bottom of the ocean at a pirate ship wreck. There he finds a treasure chest full of gold coins. He decides to give these to the boy & his family with the help of a pelican.
Larf by Ashley Spires
The title of this book is just weird but the story is really cute. Larf is a sasquatch that lives in the woods with his pet bunny named Eric. He doesn't mind his life but one day he reads an article in the paper about another sasquatch coming to the town nearby. Larf thought he was the only one...When he gets there he discovers that it is a prank. On his way home he is disappointed but waiting for the bus he meets a girl sasquatch named Shurl with a pet chicken named Patricia. They become great friends.
