Kim says: "This new retelling of Little Red Riding Hood has vivid illustrations in black, grey, red, and white that help tell the story in a way that is sometimes surprising. Woolvin's version of Little Red needs no valiant woodsman. She can take care of herself!"

Diana says: "This is an adorable and emotional story about an anteater's best friend, a little hedgehog, whose family is moving away. The pictures in this book are so sweet and show just how close best friends can be. The message at the end is, even though you cannot be physically near someone you love, you can be as close as you want to be, at heart. Even though it's hard, these two characters still feel close by sharing letters, sending pictures, and waiting until they can see each other again."

Jessica says: "Hogwash by Karma Wilson is a hilarious rhyming story that my kids love. This one is set on a farm and is about pigs who do NOT want to take a bath, much to the farmer's frustration. Read it in an extra-southern accent and you're sure to get lots of giggles from your little ones!"

Jessica says: "Same, Same But Different is a wonderful story of two pen-pals who live in different parts of the world. They embrace their differences while at the same time learning that they also have much in common!"

Jessica says: "Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar is a favorite at my house. My four-year-old asks me to read this so often that she has memorized it! Kids are introduced to the days of the week as the little caterpillar eats his way through the week and at the end turns into a beautiful butterfly."

Jessica says: "Llama Llama Mad at Mama, by the late Anna Dewdney, is another of my kids' favorites. Little Llama grows impatient at the grocery store and throws a rather epic tantrum (been there, done that, got the t-shirt), but in the end Mama Llama shows understanding and patience and helps him to calm down. A great lesson for kids and parents alike."
