Here's a Little Poem

by Yolen- Fusek Petrs- Dunbar

This is a collection of more than sixty little poems and rhymes. All between 4 to 22 lines long that 3-year-old can understand. The poems are organized into four groups: "Me, Myself, and I;" "Who Ives in My House?" "I Go Outside" and "Time for Bed." Each poem is accompanied by a picture or group of pictures that try to closely depict the poem. The poems capture a child's adventurous attitude in daily activities.

You Are Special


Everyone should have this book in their home. You Are Special has beautiful illustrations to go along with its wonderful message. It is a story of little wooden Wemmicks, who spend their days labeling each other with good/bad stickers. Punchinello, unfortunately, is covered in the ugly gray stickers. He meets a special Wemmick that, somehow, has avoided carrying the good/bad labels on her body. This story is a testament of God's love for every one of his children and how powerful it can be when we understand that love. I love this book!
