1. Knuffle Bunny- This book is absolutely precious. It is about a toddler named Trixie who has a stuffed bunny named Knuffle Bunny- which of course she pronounces the K. The story line is simple. She goes out on an errand with he father, leaves her bunny at a laundromat, and her dad finds it on a second trip to the laundromat. Reading time is shared between the child and adult which means that both should be entertained. Children are so easily entertained, so that is no problem, but what is intriguing about this story are the illustrations. The author took gorgeous black and white muted photographs of New York City and drew a cartoon father, daughter, and stuffed animal to go over it. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and the adults almost don't care about the story which makes it so much easier to share with their little one. This is what I'm talking about. Awwwwww. (:
2. Captain Underpants- Some of the little girls may see the book and think "ew underpants, I'm not reading this" but this book is absolutely hilarious. First of all, they have over 20 chapters of a couple pages which makes them feel like they are reading a lot. The language is absolutely perfect for the mischevious elementary school boy. These books are full of bathroom jokes, teacher insults, but they are genuinely entertaining to read even as a seventeen-year-old girl. The book in the series, Captain Underpants and the Perlious Plot of Professor Poopypants starts out with George Beard and Harold Hutchins-with the bad haircut. Eventually, a bald guy wearing nothing but underwear and a cape saves the day. How could you not want to read this book?
