Maisy Goes to the Library: A Maisy First Experience Book

• Title: Maisy Goes to the Library
• A Maisy First Experience Book
• Author: Lucy Cousins
• Price: $6.99
• Paperback: 32 pages
• Publisher: Candlewick (March 10, 2009)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 0763643718

Annotation: Maisy goes to the library and experiences all the things the library has to offer! From Story hour to xerox copies to a quite place to read, join Maisy in this first experience book!

Evaluation: This is also one of my favorite titles, especially of Maisy's collection. The way Maisy is illustrated so simply and in mostly primary and bright colors, really appeals to the early development of babies and toddlers. Furthermore, her "first experience" collection (which this book is a part of) is always wonderful things that help parents introduce complex places that often have wonderful programs for children (like the museum and the library). It helps make these places less scary and more fun and definitely dispels the mystery!!

Puff The Magic Dragon + CD

• Title: Puff The Magic Dragon
• Author: Peter Yarrow
• Price: $16.95
• Hardcover: 24 pages
• Publisher: Sterling; First Edition edition (August 1, 2007)
• Language: English
• ISBN-10: 1402747829

Annotation: Follow the famous Folk Song, Puff the Magic Dragon in this new, beautiful picture book plus CD with music!

Evaluation: This book has been so popular with my read aloud group that then bring it back and insist upon preforming the song and showing me the pages that match the song lyrics! They are so entranced by this book (both the pictures and the music) that you can't help but recommend it to everyone! The dragon here is so love-able it reminds me of How to Train Your Dragon (Dreamworks new blockbuster film). So much so, in fact, it makes you wonder if it may in fact be somewhat inspired by this dragon classic! And yes, the author is the "Peter" from Peter, Paul, and Mary, as they are the writers of the original song. This is an amazingly beautiful book!!!!!

Bear Snores On (Classic Board Books)

Title: Bear Snores On

Author: Karma Wilson

Price: $7.99

• Pages: 34
• Publisher: Little Simon
• Publishing Date:
  • September 6, 2005
• ISBN-10: 1416902724

• Classification: Nursery/Board Book
• 
  
• Annotation: It's a cold, wintery night and the forest animals gather in the bears caves. But...the bear snores on. But, when he wakes up, what will happen?!
• • Evaluation: Bear Snores On is part of the Bear series from Karma Wilson. All of her books are adorable, and I highly recommend the board book versions for the littler hands. They are much more appropriate, especially since the story is so perfect for toddlers and little ones. I love that this book only teases at the scary bear, but rather gives us a teddy bear. Also, it seems to be connected to nature which nature-momma's and poppa's will LOVE!
