Yolen. Jane. Wee Rhymes: Baby's First Poetry Book. Illustrated By Jane Dyer. Simon & Schuster. 111p. 2013. ISBN  9781416948988

Ages( 0 and up)

A lengthy picture book, not intended to read in one sitting, Wee Rhymes was written by two grandmothers who believe that singsong, sing-along rhythm is as important as a heartbeat.  This nursery rhyme book is filled with over seventy classic and original poems. Illustrated to show babies and toddlers from all walks of life, Dyer, and Yolen progressively order the poems and illustrations to fit the daily routine of children, from waking up and then going to the store. Each new section is started by a Mother Goose rhyme and followed by verses that match the nature of the original poem.

Laden, Nina. Roberto: The Insect Architect. Chronicle Books. 40p. 2010. ISBN 9780811824651 Ages (4 and up) Filled with many puns, Roberto: the Insect Architect is a funny story about a termite who wants to be an architect. Running into insect racism, no one wants to hire a termite to build houses, when the stereotype is that they ruin the wood. When Roberto runs into other insects down on their luck, he takes matters into his own hands and anonymously builds them a city, with keys to their own houses that he created. A fun storytime book about achieving and reaching for your dreams, Laden uses her illustrations to give even more details to the story and about the bugs Roberto is building for. Leaving off with an important message of being creative and follow your dreams this is a perfect story for young children.

 Warmflash Rosenbaum, Andria. Big Sister, Little Monster. Illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham. Scholastic. 40p. 2017. ISBN 9780545831925 Ages (6 and up). An adorable story from the endpage to endpage! On the first endpage, we see a little red-haired girl who we later find out is named Mia, Mia is counting and jumping through puddles calling out to her sister. In typical little sister fashion, Mia follows her sister Lucy EVERYWHERE! Lucy feels as if her little sister is an annoying little monster and tells her to get lost. When her wish comes true, and real monsters want to keep Mia, Lucy gets monstrous too! With vivid colors spreading from each corner of the book, Fotheringham really showcases the love and nuisance of having a younger sibling. Through Rosenbaum's dialogue, the reader is shown how grateful they should be to having a younger sibling. Highly recommended for older siblings who need to be gently reminded that, it's not always so bad having a little sibling.
