Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear, Turn Around (Little… by Penny Dann

Intended for religious audiences, as it includes "say a prayer" as part of the bedtime ritual. A bit annoying to just stumble upon it without warning. So here's a warning!

The Secret Mermaid Handbook: Or How To Be A Little… by Penny Dann

OMG this book is adorable!!! This was given to me as a gift for my birthday and it is so cute. It is a pop-up book with an adorable story about a mermaid named Pearl. There are extras like a seashell necklace and matching bracelets. there is even a picture frame in the back of the book where you can put your face into a mermaid picture so that you can be your very own mermaid! Just too cute!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Classic Treasury of Best-Loved Children's Poems by Penny Dann

This book contains several children's poems that are easy to understand. This book could be used for any lesson on poetry. I would recommend it to elementary school teachers.
