I Love You Like a Pig by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Greg Pizzoli is a wacky nonsensical (You're sweet like a banker) yet sometimes sensical (I'm lucky like a window) picture book where a child and a pig are enjoying two stolen slices of pie cooling on a window sill. Comparing loves and likes with fun and expressive illustrations of Pizzoli are great companions to the words by Barnett. Another winner from this team.
Toad on the Road by Stephen Shaskan is a cautionary tale, where mom is invoked because little toad is constantly playing in the road. Each animal on a different vehicle or mode of transportation crashes to avoid toad until the end when...
I won't give away who comes along to rescue little toad, whose only crime is trying to catch a fly, in the middle of the road.
In Bumpety, Dunkety, Thympety-Thump by K. L. Going and Simone Shin two children are going down a road in a wagon going bumpety bump and stopping along the way to dunkety dunk in a pond or eating berries and putting them in a buckety buck with a plunkety plunk. The noises and sounds continue all through the day until everyone in the family falls asleep with hearts beating a thumpety thump. A lovely illustrated book for a great family read aloud
For toddlers - Kindergarteners.
