Unless you're an education professional, a children's literature connoisseur, or spend a great deal of time perusing the library shelves, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the choices offered in children's books. Here are a few of my current favorites.
How Are You Peeling: Foods With Moods, by Saxon Freymann and Joost Elffers. This is a great book if your child needs work on identifying feelings and emotions. The book uses fruits and veggies to demonstrate emotional reactions.
Skippyjon Jones, by Judy Schachner. Cute illustrations, lots of Spanish vocabulary, and cute rhyming action make this a fun read-aloud. My Sohl son asks for this book all the time.
Lizzy's Do's and Don'ts, by Jessica Harper. Most children hear a list of don'ts, and Lizzy is no exception. In this book, Lizzy and her mom discuss this things she isn't allowed to do, and create a list of things they are allowed to do.
Birthday Monsters, by Sandra Boynton. A gift for Carter's first birthday, this book is classic Sandra Boynton silliness, with great rhyming. Short and sweet, we like this one just before bedtime.
Manana, Iguana, by Ann Whitford Paul. (Think the Spanish word for tomorrow) This book is a retelling of the Little Red Hen, with obvious Spanish influences. It has a Spanish pronunciation guide, and cute illustrations.
What are some of your favorites?

I'll have to look into those books; they sound fun. Isaac loves the book he got from the Christmas book exchange at school. I have no idea who bought it, but it is really cool. The title is How Do Dinosaurs Get Well Soon?" by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague. I saw the diaper wreaths you made for Jen, and they are too cute!
You know we have Manana Iguana! LOL, love that book!
