Do Like a Duck Does
by Judy
Hindley, illustrated by Ivan
Bates
"Here's a preschool gem with tricky words that step across the page with
a Sousa-like cadence, delighting children and adults alike. This is a rollicking
gem of a story in itself, but with Bate's illustrations, it's irresistible! We
rate this one a 5-star favorite of the spring season." -- Karen Gaston,
Butterfly Books, DePere, WI
Duck on a Bike
by David
Shannon
"'That's the silliest thing' and 'Oh what a show-off' say the barn animals
in this beautifully illustrated, terrific read-aloud book." -- Melissa
Mytinger, Cody's Books, Berkeley, CA
Fix-It
by David
McPhail
"When the TV won't work, Emma demands it be fixed. Cranky young Emma has
to be entertained while waiting, first with a balloon, then with a song, and finally
with a book. By the time papa discovers that the TV is unplugged, Emma is too
deep into the book to care about the TV anymore!" -- Linda Hillegass,
Lee Booksellers, Lincoln, NE
I Love My Little Storybook
by Anita
Jeram
"You know a book that makes you laugh out loud is a winner. A sweet, but
never saccharine, story celebrating the joy and magic of reading and books, with
Jeram's trademark adorable bunnies are the cutest fairies ever to inhabit a picture
book! " -- Kathleen Carey, The Little Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza,
Albany, NY
Ten in the Bed
by David
Ellwand
"A lovely large-format board book, using photographs of well-loved teddy
bears to depict '10 in the bed, and one rolls over' verse." -- Carol
Dunn, Northwind Book & Fiber, Spooner, WI
