The Copy Crocs - a picture book about needing some time alone #introvert

I received a copy of this from Peachtree and we have read it and read it.  My kids and I love it and you will too!

The Brief Thief - a hilarious picture book that will make up laugh out loud!  SO FUNNY!

The Brief Thief

This is still one of the funniest picture books I've ever read.  Seriously.  I laughed out long for an embarrassing amount 
of time the first time I read it.

The Lady with the Alligator Purse

This is one to really get little imaginations going.  
Lots of fun to read aloud.

The Mixed Up Chameleon by Eric Carle

The Mixed-Up Chameleon
by Eric Carle

Who doesn't love Eric Carle?  I feel like The Very Hungry Caterpillar gets so much attention that some of his other fun books are overlooked.  Don't make that mistake on this one.

Manana Iguana - a Mexican twist on The Little Red Hen

Manana, Iguana
by Ann Whitford Paul
illustrated by Ethan Long

This one is a fun play on The Little Red Hen...
with a Mexican twist!
