What we read - April 2009

The Giving tree by Shel Silverstein

LP's hands-down favorite this time around.

Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus by Mo Willems

Everyone's favorite. A fun book!

The 20^th century children’s book treasury selected by Janet Schulman
Lots of good books in one volume here.

Mr. Putter and Tabby row the boat by Cynthia Rylant

Her books are great for beginning readers. This one stands out for Mr. Putter and his neighbor Mrs. Teaberry's funny antics that made us laugh.

Cecily G. and the 9 monkeys by H.A. Rey

The original "Curious George".

The rainbow fish by Marcus Pfister

Ella by Bill Peet
