It's a Tiger! by David LaRochelle

Kids and parents alike will rejoice in this lively read-aloud picture book, as the main character runs into (and away from) a tiger over and over again as the plot gets sillier and sillier.

Rosie's Walk by Pat Hutchins

Rosie the hen leaves the chicken coop and sets out for a little walk. Right behind her is the fox, slyly trying to catch up with her.  The kids find this one very funny!

Mama Cat has Three Kittens by Denise Fleming

Mama Cat has three kittens, Fluffy, Skinny, and Boris. Where Mama Cat leads, Fluffy and Skinny follow. But what about Boris-- will he ever stop napping and join the fun?

Open Very Carefully: A Book with Bite by Nick Bromley

What would you do if you were settling down for a quiet bedtime story and you realized that a crocodile had fallen into your storybook and was — not to put too fine a point on it — wreaking havoc? Would you slam that book shut and cram it back onto the bookshelf? Or would you be brave enough to peek?

Z is for Moose by Kelly Bingham

Zebra thinks the alphabet should be simple. A is for Apple. B is for Ball. Easy! But his friend Moose is too excited to wait his turn, and when M isn't for Moose (Mouse gets the honor), the rest of the letters better run for cover. 

A Visitor for Bear by Bonny Becker

Bear is quite sure he doesn’t like visitors. He even has a sign. So when a mouse taps on his door one day, Bear tells him to leave. But when Bear goes to the cupboard to get a bowl, there is the mouse — small and gray and bright-eyed. In this slapstick tale that begs to be read aloud, all Bear wants is to eat his breakfast in peace, but the mouse — who keeps popping up in the most unexpected places — just won’t go away!

Roll, Roll, Roll Your Hands

Roll, roll, roll your hands 
As slowly as you can.  
Roll, roll, roll your hands 
As quickly as you can.

Clap, clap, clap your hands 

As quietly as you can.  
Clap, clap, clap your hands  
As loudly as you can. 

Stomp, stomp, stomp your feet

As softly as you can.
Stomp, stomp, stomp your feet
As strongly as you can.
