An imaginative story told with very few words. A young girl on her dad’s back encourages him to go faster – like different animals. In the end, poor dad runs out of gas, but the girl still thinks he was fast! It was an enjoyable story, but I think it isn’t great for young ones like Little N. He liked the pictures, but it would be a good one to look at again.

Book Number 94 – The Babies on the Bus by Karen Katz
A baby centric version of the popular song. The pictures are colorful with all kinds of babies.
Book Number 93 – Who Says? (Sassy)
Bright colorful pictures. Simple – picture of animal and the sound it makes.
Book Number 92 – Sassy Non-sters Peek a Boo
Each page has a peek a boo lift the flap. The flaps are often in different directions – fun for little ones to figure out how to open. Little N enjoyed this one. The “monsters” are colorful and unique – lots to for little eyes to feast on!
Book Number 91- No No Yes Yes by Leslie Patricelli
One page has no no things and another has yes yes. For example, putting things into the toilet is no no and going potty on the toilet is yes yes. Little N loved this book – probably because he is starting to understand the concept of no and yes (mostly no 😉 ).
Book Number 90 – Baby at the Farm by Karen Katz
Lots of textures for baby to explore on the various farm animals. Colorful pictures keep babies engaged.
Book Number 89 Naptime by Elizabeth Verdick
Story explains why kids need naps and routine to get ready for naps. Tips for parents at the end of the book about naps (how much sleep children need, how to build a routine, etc.)
Book Number 88 Horsey Up and Down by Caroline Jayne Church
Extremely interactive book about opposites. The book includes pages that can be manipulated – such as the cover – the horse can be pushed up or down. There is touch and feel and even a lift the flap. Great way to keep my busy Little N engaged.
Book Number 87 – Giggle! By Caroline Jayne Church
Rollicking rhyming story about things that can make us laugh. Bonus – book includes a button you can push that plays prerecorded giggling. Personally, I thought the giggles were a bit on the Halloween cackle side, but Little N loves to just push the button over and over. He lets me read the story as he pushes the button – a big plus!
Book Number 86 – Kiss Kiss Good Night by Kenn Nesbitt
Comforting animal rhymes makes this a reassuring and satisfying bedtime story. Each animal momma gives their baby a kiss goodnight.
