1. If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (If You Give…)
This is a very funny book. It starts with a boy eating a cookie. A mouse sees him and the mouse wants a cookie too. The mouse then wants some milk and so on. It is a great short bedtime story for children. The mouse is very cute and the story is very cute. The illustrations are wonderful. It is a shame this didn’t win a Caldecott medal award. I really like this particualr short bedtime story. It is fun, it is cute, it can bring a smile on a kids face and the pictures are cute.
2. Love You Forever
A very touching and heart felt book about parents loving their child as they grow up. A great book that shows the power of love coming from a mother to a child. It can be a little bit sad though since it strikes to the heart and we can easily relate to the feelings or emotions that are inside this book. This is a great book and I recommend it to anyone that has a child. It is a priceless book that encourages bonding and the memories of reading this to your child will stay with you and your child for a long time.
3. The House In The Night by Swanson, Susan Marie.
Another amazing picture book filled with wonderful illustrations and drawings. This book is great for very young children. The story isn’t very complex and it is somewhat comforting. A very nice picture book to read to a child at night or before bedtime.
4. Flotsam By David Wiesner
There is a lot of David Wiesner fans. With original and beautiful stories for children, it is really no wonder why he has so many fans. This is a great picture book for children. We get to see what happens when a camera is tossed into the sea and is able to take pictures of the sea.
5. The Lion and the Mouse By Jerry Pinkney, Aesop
This is a retelling of Aesop’s the lion and the mouse which gives the moral that an act of kindness is usually never wasted and has its own reward. A very wonderful story. In this version, the pictures or illustrations are just wonderful. Jerry Pinkney just knows how to draw animals and settings in a children’s book. He is a gifted person and makes any children book better with his drawings or illustrations.
6. Disney Personalized Children’s Books
7. Zen Shorts (Collectors Edition) By Jon J. Muth
This is a very nice book. It comes with short stories told by by the Panda, Stillwater. Each of the stories has a meaning or moral behind it. A great book about anger, friendship, letting go, forgiveness, and life overall. The illustrations are great, they are extremely well done in water color. I’m such a big fan of water color drawings for children’s books. They just add more life to the story. This is the collector’s edition of Zen Shorts. Collector’s editions are usually limited and they don’t last long.
8. The Ugly Duckling (Caldecott Honor Book)
This is a very classic fable. This book is full of wonderful and fabulous illustrations done in watercolor by Jerry Pinkney. Well Jerry Pinkney is very famous for creating lovely illustrations for children’s books.. This fable is a wonderful retelling of the classic tale. What is great about this is that we get to see the feelings of the ugly duckling vividly. The book shows the ugly ducklings experiences. I have always loved the moral lesson at the end of this wonderful book or story.
9. My Friend Rabbit By Eric Rohmann
This is another fabulous picture book. The story is actually very funny. The rabbit is just hilarious with his antics. It is a joy to read. This is so funny that I see very young children laugh or smile whenever someone reads them this book. The illustrations are ok. It isn’t that amazing but the story is very good.
10. No, David! By David Shannon
This is another great short bedtime story for children. This short bedtime story is something kids and very young children can relate to. There is always a michievous side in every little kid but no matter what, a parent will always love the child. The book is very funny and I like the illustrations also. A great short bedtime story for children. However if you are looking for a book that will teach discipline to your children, this is not that type of book.
