Age: 0-2 years
Animal: House cat

With sparse, repetitive text, a white background, and large simplistic illustrations, this will be a perfect book for my 1-year-old storytime or toddler storytime.

Age: Toddler+
Animals: Dogs

Although it's odd that dog-humans are walking their dog-pets, this is a fun wordless picture book that provides great pictures for the adult or the child to tell the story. Great for the amateur fashionistas.

Age: Infant-Preschool
Toys: Teddy bear, blanket

What happens when kids accidentally abandon their toys? For Blanket and Bear left on a ship, they try to travel back to their boy but arrive on an island of lost blankets and bears and toys. A short story with soft illustrations similar to John Butler.

Age: Infant, Toddler
Animals: Woodland

Ridiculously straight-forward story about a bear that steals the moon so that he may sleep. The artwork is very beautiful and very calming with a lot of white space.

Age: Toddler-Kindergarten
Animal: Kitten

I always love books with an unusual rhyme scheme that actually work out. This book also has mass appeal with a princess, a fluffy white kitten, and a trail of hot pink, glittery yarn that is slightly raised, encouraging listeners to follow along with their fingers.

Age: Toddler-preschool
Animals: Farm, rabbit

As the farm wakes up, noises fill the air. Mooooo! Neeeigh! Woof-Woof! But what sound do I make, wondered the rabbit? As he stomps his foot (thump thump) he doesn't realize that this sound attracts a hungry cat. As the cat chases after the rabbit, the dog chases after the cat, and the rest of the farm animals join in the chase (not sure why they join, though...). A fun exploration of animal noises with a plot.

Age: Toddler
Birds: Orchard Orioles

It's oftentimes hard to find a simple story for a young audience but this one hit the target. With the use of repetition, full yet simple illustrations, and 1-2 sentences per page, this would make a lovely read aloud to 2-year-olds.

Age: Toddler-preschool
Animals: African
Concept: Counting

Lovely artwork with a nice use of a fold-out page.

Age: Infant-Preschool

Another dog book does not disappoint but it doesn't go above and beyond one's expectations. Fred is one mischievous dog that listeners can relate to.
