MONDAY: The Sleepy Little Alphabet

It's bedtime in Alphabet town, but none of the little letters wants to go to sleep. Some need hugs and kisses or baths while others are feeling snuggly. Sweet pictures for each letter make for a fun search for toys that go with each letter (a zebra for Z, a yo-yo for Y, etc.). The last page is probably my favorite, showing all the little letters snug in their beds (well, most of them - at least one is up to some mischief) with something that starts with their letter. And letter Z has its own copy of The Sleepy Little Alphabet to read before bed. Another winner from Judy Sierra.

MONDAY: Wild About Books

A librarian mistakenly drives the bookmobile into the zoo. The animals learn to enjoy and take care of the books. Before long they are writing their own volumes and building their own branch of the library. The book is written in a Seuss-like rhythm that makes it a lot of fun to read aloud.

As a book-crazy mom, this is an all-time favorite!
