Say Goodnight to the Sleepy Animals! by Ian Whybrow

Rather than spending its night indulging in a senseless killing spree, toying with hapless smaller animals and dumping them on the doorstep, a cat goes on a Waltons-esque walkabout saying goodnight to all the furry and feathery things it might otherwise be terrorizing if it didn't have a book deal.

The Bedtime Bear by Ian Whybrow

A cute bedtime book following a bear through his journey to bed.This is a pop up, lift flap and pull tab format.....so, plenty of interactive fun for children....and plenty of opportunities for destruction. I'm not the biggest fan of this type book because they always end up torn.....but my 7 yr old loves it.

Sammy and the Dinosaurs by Ian Whybrow

How cute!! I loved this book! Sammy was a great character and very well named. The dinosaurs were so adorable. I loved that they were his and he was their Sammy. Its nice to see him take such good care of them, especially when they are so old. =)

Little Wolf's Book of Badness by Ian Whybrow

This is not a picture book, and it is told entirely by the letters from Little that he mails back to his family. Cute premise, cute structure, interesting themes. Funny and exciting for the young readers who have just begun to read 'real' books, too short and light for me to praise highly.
