Katie the Windmill Cat by Gretchen Woelfle
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1544284.Katje_the_Windmill_Cat
Super cute cat & beautiful pictures! But these kinds of books make me feel bad for the animals. I will say that I am happy there is a happy ending at least but poor Katie!
Katie lives an easy life with Nico, the miller, in a Dutch village by the sea. One night Nico went to town & came back with a girl named Lena. Lena had "replaced" Katie in Nico's life. Soon they had a baby named Anneke & Katie liked her but Lena didn't want Katie around the baby. One day Lena sees Katie playing with the baby & chases her outside. So Katie goes to live in the windmill. Nice brought Katie milk & asked her to come home every day but she wouldn't because of Lena. One day there is a storm & the dike in their village breaks flooding the town & the house. The baby's cradle is swept out of the house & Katie jumps on to save the baby. In the end the baby & Katie are safe, everyone is back home & they all love each other.

I picked this book because there is a cute little owl on the front! This book has simple pictures & lots of primary colors. Perfect for toddlers.
I know a lot of things like a cat goes meow, an ant can carry a load on his back, a leaf can be a ferry to a snail, & I can dig a hole this big, etc.

I also picked this book because of the cover!

They finally make it but a pair of mean lions at the gates stop them. They decide to sit on the curb to think about what they will do without Pearl when the trash truck comes & takes them away. Luckily they are going through the gates & past the means lions. They find Pearl & they all live happily ever after on the lawn.

Mrs. McGee's Coconut by Allia Zobel Nolan
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/5373734-mrs-mcgee-s-coconut?ac=1&from_search=true
I was interested in the title & the cover but this book was a little weird...
Mrs. McGee buys a coconut in Tennessee. She takes it home & tries to open it. She wacks it & it goes flying out the door. It goes all over town & Mrs. McGee catches it on the back of her motorcycle. But she hits a bump & it goes flying off again. It makes it onto a boat on its way to Kashmir. It skips off the boat & lands in the hands of a monkey who drops it & SPLAT!
