My Baby and Me
Reviewed by Children’s Book List

This concept book focuses on sibling bonding of the two-to-four year old with the new baby in the family. Told in the voice of the big brother or sister, close-up photos show the two siblings together doing what each does best, such as drinking from bottle versus from a cup, or giving a toothless gummy smile versus a big toothy grin. It’s a nice mix of diverse children of both genders. Here is an upbeat book that helps preschool siblings feel special and important as it promotes a loving relationship.

Rating: 5 *****

A nice book to show the positive relationship your child can have as the old sibling.

Reviewed by Children’s Book List

The white shape silhouetted against a blue background changes on every page. Is it a rabbit, a bird, or just spilt milk? Children are kept guessing until the surprise ending — and will be encouraged to improvise similar games of their own.

Rating: 5 *****

This is a fun book that lets children interact with the story. The pictures are more important than the words so you’re child will have just as much to add to the story as you do while reading it.

By Margaret Wise Brown

Goodnight Moon

A little rabbit bids goodnight to each familiar thing in his room, in this classic story told with gently lulling words and soothing illustrations.

Rating: *****

A good first book for any child. The illustrations are just as important as the words showing time pass as everything falls asleep.

By Sue Heap

Four Friends Together

A lighthearted tribute to story time and the fidgety little listeners whose humorous squirming is portrayed

Rating: ****

There’s not much to this story but it does show the value of friendship very nicely.

One Sunday Morning Review

By Yumi Heo

One Sunday Morning

Minho and his father have an active morning at the park, taking a carriage ride, seeing the animals in the zoo, and riding the merry-go-round.

Rating: ****

This book focuses more on sound and sight rather than text allowing your youngster to tell the story as well.
