Award: Monarch nominee 2013
A cute take on a cumulative tale as a reluctant father with a soft heart reluctantly lets stray cats into his house, with the help of a convincing mother. A relatable tale for many families.

Clearly illustrated pictures depict Kevin as he helps his dad around the house. Nothing amazing but the pictures are delightful.

This is quite a high-strung tale. While shopping with dad, this little girl delivers a walloping sneeze that sets off a domino effect in the store. The rhyme just about dies halfway through in sacrifice of the plot. There's a few sections that have an unnecessary gallop of words: "So I ran and I ran and I ran and I ran. I ran and I ran and bumped into a man." A fun story, but may be hard to keep the rhythm while reading aloud.

Dad's grumbling and growling turn him into a real grizzly bear. Unsure of what to do, his son helps him around the house and out to play together. A lovely portrayal of bonding with dad, encouraging hanging out and having fun.

A nostalgic representation of the power of words and stories across generations and across time. Perhaps this might touch the heart of the reader more than the listener.

Illustrator Style: 1988 Caldecott Medal winner, Schoenherr captures the beauty in a silent, calm night
Children in the Northern U.S. understand the feeling of being out in the cold for long periods of time. The girl narrator of this story experiences just this, except she is going owling with her father, a cultural tradition for child and father in this snowy region. Uncertain about getting an opportunity to see an owl, the girl must remain as quiet as possible, showing calm restraint.

Illustrators Style: the large format of the book help accentuate the beautiful and loving connections of mother and son in each culture
Twelve different mothers from twelve different regions of the world teach their sons universal lessons in life which lead them to become men. Although these children’s appearances vary from the one of the reader/listener, their day-to-day activities are collectively experienced throughout the world. Accompanying each picture is the culture’s language, a picture of its own to eyes accustomed to the Roman alphabet.
The poetic form of the verse allow an easy and harmonious read.

Multiple representations of caring and diverse dads. This would be great for an older sibling to read with his younger sibling.
