Your Own Big Bed - By Rita M. Bergstein

As a mom with a baby who will soon be moving up to a "big bed", I LOVE this book!! The author explains in a precious manner how animal and human babies alike are born, are carried by their parents, learn to explore the world around them, and eventually have "beds" all their own! The soft, sweet illustrations are delightful! This is a "growing up" book that every little one needs in their library!

A cute story for an introduction to spring! Three little squirrels explore the new season around them, and happen upon a hungry baby bird.  What do baby birds like to eat? These squirrels are about to find out! Complete with sweet springtime illustrations.

Polar Opposites - By Erik Brooks

What an ingenious idea for teaching children about opposites! "Alex the Polar Bear" and "Zina the Penguin" ARE complete opposites, living on opposite ends of the world, but even they can still be friends! Lots of black, white, and gray coloring through the majority of the illustrations, but the characters are definitely cute.

Hello, Puppy! - By Jane Cowen-Fletcher

This is the perfect toddler introduction to puppies! The soft, beautiful illustrations compliment the text, showing young children how puppies sleep, stretch, eat, play, and give "kisses". If you don't have a dog already, it won't be long before your little one is saying, "I want a puppy, Mommy!"
