Top Ten Children's Book 2008
Here are the books that my 4 year old and I enjoyed the most this year. We are both definitely going through a fancy princess phase and we enjoy reading books that showcase family life.
- Fancy Nancy We love Fancy Nancy and the whole series. Fancy Nancy loves dressing glam and using fancy words. She decides to give her family lessons in being fancy. The artwork is wonderfully detailed.
- Knuffle Bunny Too: A Case of Mistaken Identity by Mo Williems. Trixie and her family return in this sequel to Knuffle Bunny. Trixie takes Knuffle Bunny to preschool where she meets up with her doppelganger and the stuffed animals go home with the wrong child. Williems is also the author of the hysterical Pigeon series of children's books.
- Too Many Toys! by David Shannon. From the author of the No David! series and the illustrator of How I Became a Pirate! comes another hilariously illustrated book by Shannon. Spencer has way too many toys and his mother decides he needs to box some up to give away.
- Pinkalicious After eating too many pink cupcakes, Pinkalicious turns pink. She has to eat vegetables to get back to her normal color.
- Tea for Ruby by Duchess of York. Illustrated by Fancy Nancy's Glasser, Ruby gets ready to have tea with the queen.
- Fancy Nancy and the Posh Puppy. Another in the Fancy Nancy series. Nancy's family decides its time to get a dog. While Nancy's family wants a "plain" dog, Nancy tries babysitting the neighbor's frou frou papillion.
- Fancy Nancy Bonjour Butterfly. Nancy has to miss her best friend's butterfly themed birthday party in order to attend her grandparent's big anniversary party.
- I Spy Christmas. The whole I Spy series is a lot of fun.
- Berenstein Bears. Too many in the series to name, but these are fun and entertaining little paperpacks that teach good lessons. I almost always pick one up whenever I'm at B&N.
- How the Grinch Stole Christmas. I love reading this almost as much as she enjoys hearing it.
