Sleepy, the Goodnight Buddy

by Drew Daywalt

illustrated by Scott Campbell

Roderick does not like going to bed, he tries everything to avoid it. 

But, when Roderick gets a sleepy buddy from Mom and Dad he gets a taste of his own medicine.  Sleepy is supposed to help Roderick fall asleep.  It turns out Sleepy is alive and has a lot to say!  Sleepy keeps Roderick awake with his many demands.  As the story moves along, Roderick becomes very frustrated and exhausted!  Maybe Sleepy is the goodnight buddy after all. 

Another fun picture book by a great storyteller! The expressive illustration add humor and fun.   I kind of think this book was written about my daughter!  Boy can I relate to this!  I'm sure many parents and children will feel the same.  The classic tale of a child trying to avoid bedtime.  Well here's a funny story about what might happen if the tables are turned.  I can't wait to read this to my daughter, I could use a Sleepy buddy at my house.

Do You Believe in Unicorns?

by Bethanie Deeney Murguia

  Is it a unicorn?  Is it a horse?  Well, do you believe?  What will you see as you go along on a little adventure with a horse in a hat.  Wait, it's not a horse, it's a unicorn having a bad hair day!  Or is it?  Clever illustrations leave it up to the reader to decide.   I believed all along, of course it's a unicorn!

This book is a must have for all the (big) little people out there who believe in the magic of unicorns.  Two thumbs up!  Read it!

Potato Pants

by

Laurie Keller

Why do potatoes need pants?  Just because they like them!  This book is a hoot.  I love a picture book with lots of laughs!  This book delivers with fantastic illustrations and a lot to look at, and laugh at. 

It's the one day potato pants sale at  Lance Vance's Fancy Pants Store.  Every potato in town will be there and better hurry, because, once they're gone they're gone!  Potato is on his way,  he can see his favorite pair right in the window.  But he also sees Eggplant...wait, why is Eggplant at the potato pants sale?  That doesn't matter, Potato met Eggplant yesterday and thinks he's a meanie.  Eggplant pushed him into the trash!  Potato does not want to meet Eggplant again, so he avoids the pant sale.  Poor potato, if only he could face his fear.  Guess what? He does! And it all turns out great!  LOL... Read Potato pants and find out how this spud-tacular picture book ends!
