"Red Panda's Candy Apple" by Ruth Paul

This was a great little book about the joys of sharing. The illustrations are sweet and colorful and was a great conversation starter about how to share. Liked this one a lot.

"The Pigeon Needs a Bath" by Mo Willems

Every kid is gonna love this book about how dirty the pigeon gets before it becomes quite clear it's time to take a bath ..... almost ..... in just a little while ..... really.

"Giraffes Can't Dance" by Giles Andreae

So what if Gerard is different? He learns to dance to his own beat and in doing so helps kids understand that being unique and different is a very good thing.

"Cat the Cat, Who is That?" by Mo Willems

Great introduction to Willems for toddlers.

"On My Way to the Bath" by Sara Maizes

Livi's mom has her bath ready but before she gets there what will she see, do, and most importantly, imagine.

"How to Lose Your Ass and Regain Your Life: Reluctant Confessions of a Big-Butted Star" by Kirstie Alley

After reading this I'd like to pull up a chair with Kirstie and spend some time eating and chatting.

"Richard III: England's Black Legend" by Desmond Seward

This was a very dry read indeed. Nothing that stood out as far as information goes, a good book to add to the debate on whether Richard was the monster or the misunderstood.
