Have you ever gone to the library, grabbed a few potentially interesting books, got home and started reading them, and they are all duds?
Or you know those books that your 2 year old always insists on reading but you, as the parent, just don't get? I'm looking to you, Go, Dog, Go!
Maybe I am hard to please, but sometimes great children's books are hard to come by. I like my children's books to entertain both myself and my child.
Well, this past library visit was very successful. Yay! And because I am currently obsessed with amazing kid books, here are a few you may want to check out...
A Cat Named Tim and Other Short Stories
Dave read this one to the kids the other night and the laughs coming from those 3 were infectious! This one is a mostly wordless picture book and a collection of short stories. If you read it, my favorite is the one with spaghetti.
Room for Bear
Oh, this one is so cute. It's about a bear and his duck family and how they literally fit each other in their lives. I like cute stories.
A Mountain of Friends
This is a very short, fun book. The story is about how a group of friends help make a little penguins dream come true. I can't tell you more because it would give the book away. Just read it.

I can relate to bringing library books home and finding they are duds. I've even hid library books in the coat closet until we can drive over and return them because I can't bring myself to re-read some of the really un-thrilling ones. These books look cute, we will have to check these out, pun intended ;). If you're looking for a good book for yourself you might like "Ella Minnow Pea" by Mark Dunn--our neighborhood book group just finished that one and it was cute.
Thanks for sharing! If you want another of those"I don't get it" books, look for "Where's My Fnurgle." Our library has it as a board book. I grabbed it to show Logan since he likes to make up words. Turns out Rachel (2) was obsessed with it for a month or so. Not a great story at all, but she loved it.
