(No, not that James Dean.) Pete is a very laid-back, groovy kind of cat. My favorite of his sories is "I Love My White Shoes." It has enough repetition, silliness, and rhythm to keep the interest of even very young listeners. Plus, it offers ample opportunities for jazz hands. <br />For slightly oder readers, one of my all0time favorites is Eric Carle's "Dragons, Dragons, and Other Creatures That Never Were" and Shel Silverstein's "The Giving Tree."Tara BPLteennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-10607199582316234092014-05-12T17:36:28.985-05:002014-05-12T17:36:28.985-05:00Two of my all-time children's favorites:

Its a quick read with colorful pages that will keep the attention of even the youngest. My grandson must have his "hungry stuffed bear" read the book with him every time!! Very cute story!!<br /><br />Next is Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree bevery time!! Very cute story!!<br /><br />Next is Mr. Willowby's Christmas Tree by Robert Barry<br />I loved this book as a child. Mr. Willowby's Christmas tree is too tall, so he cuts off the top and passes to his upstairs friend...and so on and so on. This story is so entertaining but it teaches recyclying on a young childs level. A must read!!

I'm glad Book Alive Day afforded me the opportunity. Zorro, for me, represented the cavalier spirit of the now-forgotten children's book hero. He was the Lone Ranger, Robin Hood, and the Phantom of the Opera all rolled into one.John BPL RAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-35125515713393987382014-05-12T12:30:01.057-05:002014-05-12T12:30:01.057-05:00where the wild things are by Maurice Sendak, and m...where the wild things are by Maurice Sendak, and most recently Creepy Carrots it is a fun out loud read.
