Books don’t always have to tell a story to be valuable. With some, you can make up your own tale or even play a game! That’s why I loved Sense Suspense: A Guessing Game for the Five Senses by Bruce McMillan. Little ones see a photo portion of an object and guess what sense they would use with it. They turn the page to see if they’ve guessed right when they see the picture as a whole. Talk about the pictures, make up your own story, speed through or take as long as you want–a fun take on picture books!

 An explorer, an animal scientist, and an Olympic gymnast are just a few of the things that this little girl wants to grow up to be…someday.  In Someday by Eileen Spinelli, a young adventurer finds it difficult to wait to grow up but can’t stop thinking of the wonderful things she could become.  Adorable pictures will grab your attention, but the cute story will keep you thinking, “What will I be someday?”

What is Scaredy Squirrel afraid of now? Ghosts, unicorns, vampire bats and polka dots monsters of course! All those freaky thing could end up in Scaredy Squirrel’s dreams if he ever fell asleep. In Melanie Watt’s latest Scaredy Squirrel installment, Scaredy Squirrel At Night, you’ll find out if the squirrel is able to fend off the night frights with his molasses, “don’t disturb” sign and teddy bear decoy.
