Kids

Quiet, Wyatt!

Wyatt is rebuffed by everyone, everywhere he goes.  The big kids won't let him fly their plane, his sister won't let him help dry the car, and his dad won't let him fry an egg.  More than anything, Wyatt wants the puppy in the window of the pet shop, but his parents won't buy it.  After being told, "Quiet, Wyatt!" so many times, Wyatt decides to be quiet, and several inconsequential catastrophes befall his friends and family.  But when that puppy is in danger, Wyatt finds his voice -- and his elders notice just what he is capable of.

Horse Meets Dog

Horse and Dog have just met, and they're a tad bit confused.  Dog is convinced Horse is a really big dog, and Horse is certain Dog is a really small horse!  They notice the differences in their hair and feet, and they even get each other thoughtful yet inappropriate gifts.  Their confusion and miscommunication continues hilariously!  This clever book would be a fun discussion starter for exploring differences.

Toesy Toes

Babies can have all different types of toes -- splishy-splashy toes, piggledy-wiggledy toes, cozy-dozy toes -- but all babies have toesy toes!

Hello Baby!

The world is full of beautiful babies -- porcupine babies with twitchy noses, gecko babies with rolling eyes, hippo babies with yawning jaws -- but which baby is the most precious of all?
