One More Time, Mama - By Sue Alexander

A little girl begs her mama to tell her the story of what it was like waiting for her baby's arrival.  This book not only gives children a sense of how long a pregnancy lasts, but also teaches about the growing love in a mother's heart as she patiently waits for that first sight of her little one.  A very sweet story! The soft illustrations add warmth and beauty to the storyline. 

Sara's City - By Sue Alexander

This is a look at life in the city for a little girl growing up in the 1940s.  The writing is very simple, as if the author was jotting down different memories from her childhood.  Soft, pastel illustrations show large radios, women's hats, and school girl dresses from a different era in our nation's history.  This would be a good book for asking, "Do we still do this today?" after each page.
