The Runaway Dinner by Allan Ahlberg

Emma's Choice:
This is a VERY funny book! I thought it was hilarious when Peter the pea "well and truly disappeared." You'll never guess where I found him hiding...
Do you see him? He's pretending he's a leaf with a bud. Silly guy!

10 Minutes till Bedtime by Peggy Rathmann

Emma's Choice:

I love this book because hamsters play during the 10 minutes till bedtime. And I think that the page with 1 minute is the silliest, because the hamsters are actually swimming in the bathtub!

The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling


Emma's Choice (of course!):

My Aunt Miriam thought I would like this book and she was right! This is the longest book I've ever read and with the help of my mom, we finished it in less than two days! I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next.

Not a Stick and Not a Box by Antoinette Portis


Emma and Landon's Choice:

When is a box not a box or a stick not a stick? With a child's imagination, the options are endless! These books are so cute and our kids loved getting some new ideas from these little guys with giant imaginations.

Knuffle Bunny, Knuffle Bunny Too and Leonardo the Terrible Monster

Read about a monster who is not very good at scaring people. He really wants to scare the "tuna salad" out of someone, but will he?

These books are so cute. Mo Willems is such a great writer and illustrator. If you look really closely, you'll find the pigeon hiding in these books too!

Put Me in the Zoo by Dr. Seuss


Emma's Choice:

I like this book because his spots change color! Isn't it funny? I like it because with his tail he can swing from a tree and in the book he puts his spots in a box and when he takes them out they look like socks! This is one silly guy!

Edwina The Dinosaur Who Didn't Know She Was Extinct by Mo Willems

Emma's Choice:

This book is very funny because you can't be extinct if you're alive.

This book is well written and entertaining. You can read about Reginald Von Hoobie-Doobie and how he wants everyone to know that dinosaurs are extinct, even though he knows one himself.
