How to Be a Cat by Nikki McClure

This beautifully illustrated book is about a kitten learning how to be a cat (what else?) from an grown-up cat. With black and white and light blue dye-cuts, little ones will enjoy reading this gentle book with simple one word texts dotting each page. This book is great for ages 3 and under.

That Is Not a Good Idea by Mo Willems

Book CoverWritten in the style of a silent film, a very hungry fox lures a plump goose over for dinner. All the while, her goslings are warning, "That is not a good idea.!" There is a surprising twist at the end as you learn about listening to your inner gosling.
Mo Willems is one of my favorite children's authors, and I think he really outdid himself this time. I really enjoyed the goslings' warnings because I find myself doing the same thing whenever I am watching a movie. This book is great for ages 6 and up
