How is it possible that they are ALL favorites??? We have loved this book from the first reading decades ago. Snuggle Piggy and his blanket run into some trouble but soon figure their way out of it with no one the worse for having been soaked! Please enjoy--and the illustrations, should you see it in print, bring Noah and his ark to mind, just saying. =} --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nona-reads0/message

An all-time fave here, folks! Small pig just wants to be comfy, and when the busy farmer's wife disturbs his peace, craziness ensues! This is, by the way, quite an old book being written in 1969. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nona-reads0/message

Pete the Cat Checks Out the Library, written by James Dean, is just the book to make reading and going to the library into a super cool sport for any youngster. Everything Pete does is cool, so being a reader just like Pete is something our wee ones will want to emulate after diving into this book. We love any of the Pete the Cat books, so if you haven't indulged, don't wait! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nona-reads0/message

Lily's Purple Plastic Purse, written by Kevin Henkes, is a story about a vivacious little mouse and the fun--and trouble--she gets into with her prized purple plastic purse...and the teacher who took time to build her up. Your older preschooler and even early elementary-aged kiddos will enjoy and empathize with Lily, I am certain! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nona-reads0/message

To say that this book, A Sick Day for Amos McGee by Philip C. Stead and illustrated by Erin E. Stead, is one of my all-time favorites would be an understatement. The beauty of the story and the illustrations swirl together to create a moment of perfect story. Who hasn't wanted the animals in their life to show up in such a way? Enjoy this with your littles, and for an extra treat, pick it up at the library for the sake of the illustrations. You won't be sad for having done so! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nona-reads0/message

Miss Rumphius, written by Barbara Cooney, is a lovely and slightly longer story that your older preschooler will enjoy. The idea of leaving a floral legacy that returns every year simply gives me goosebumps! Enjoy, and then go grab some flower seeds! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nona-reads0/message
