Why We Love These Books
The Heart of a Whale
Purring, Rolling, Stretching
A Bear, a Bee, and a Honey Tree
A gentle, beautifully illustrated story about empathy, comfort, and connection. The soft watercolor scenes and calm pacing make it a lovely choice for quiet moments or bedtime routines. Little ones are drawn to the soothing ocean world, while parents appreciate how it naturally opens conversations about kindness and big feelings, even at this age.
This charming board book follows a cat through its day, and toddlers immediately want to wiggle, stretch, and meow along. The simple, playful text pairs perfectly with Matsuda’s warm, expressive art, making it a joyful read for busy little bodies. It’s interactive in the best way, inviting little ones to imitate the motions and notice the rhythms in their own everyday lives.
Big humor meets wonderfully sparse, rhythmic text in this instant favorite. Bernstrom’s pared-down wording leaves plenty of room for Scott’s bold, animated illustrations to shine, creating a read-aloud that lands every time. Kids will love the repetition and silly tension; parents love that it’s fun to read again… and again… and again.
