First sentence: Mix and match the farm animals.
Premise/plot: This is an interactive board book for parents to share with little ones. It has a unique format. One can open up the pages simultaneously and have all the animals be matched perfectly. OR one can mix and match all the farm animals. One can choose to be "proper" or "whimsical."
My thoughts: Will this one be appealing to every parent? Maybe. Maybe not. Same with little ones, of course. One can't really predict how other little ones will react--what they will find amusing. This one has the potential for some laughs. But no guarantees. I can imagine a scenario where parents and young readers can have a lot of fun. For example, what noise do you think a picken (cross between a chicken and a pig) would make?… (more)

Pig is given an egg by Hen and pig says “How Kind”. Pig decides to do something nice for someone else and gives Rabbit a carrot, so goes the story throughout the book and each animal is showing kindness to another animal. This is a great way to show children the pay it forward notion. I would recommend this for any collection for toddlers as well as preschoolers and showing them that random acts of kindness can be something really small and mean something really big.
Everyone loves a cute little baby especially their mother. Follow Duck and her friends as they go through all the things you need to do with a baby.
This high contrast board book is great for fostering early literacy in babies. The illustrations are fun and appealing and the words describe everything that happens in a baby’s day. The text also reminds the reader to interact with their baby.
