It's a Mitzvah, Grover!: Read-Aloud Edition by Ellen FischerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
It's a Mitzvah, Grover! by Ellen Fischer is from Kar-ben Publishing, "a growing Jewish library for children". It is about Grover and him learning about good deeds (Mitzvah). A cute and colorful story about friendship and doing what is right to make the world a better place. Not being Jewish myself I found I stumbled a little over pronunciation as I am not as familar with some names and phrases. My daughter and I enjoyed reading this story together.

Isabella, Star of the Story by Jennifer FosberryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a cute story about a child's search for stories we all know and love. Isabella's hunt for library books takes the reader through her imagination and many different stories (Peter Pan, Goldilocks, Captain Nemo, Black Beauty, Alice in Wonderland, and The Wizard of Oz) all in the search for the perfect library book(s) to take home. The illustrations were very pretty and very descriptive. I would definitely read more Isabella books.

Peek-A-Boo Monsters by Charles ReasonerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Peek-A-Boo Monsters by Charles Reasoner is a children's board book that gives you peek-a-boo images of various cute monsters that reveal each monster through a cut-out and then you turn the page and get the whole monster. This is a very cute and colorful book that young children will find very visually engaging.

The Alphabet Parade by Charles GhignaMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What a beautifully illustrated book that can engage children on many different reading levels.
The Alphabet Parade by Charles Ghigna takes you on a parade through the alphabet from A to Z. Younger kids can enjoy the pictures, older can recognize the letters, and those a little older can pick out more sight words and read along. My daughter had so much fun helping read this book aloud that we read it twice.

Oh, the Things My Mom Will Do: Because She Loves Me Through and Through!by Marianne Richmond
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I think I enjoyed this more than my daughter. A heartwarming tale of the many things a mom will do for their child from running after the school bus with a forgotten lunch to staying up all night making a frog costume for a school play.
My favorite part of reading bedtime stories to my daughter is the books that rhyme. If there is a fun cadence to the story then I usually like it. This was one of those books. I even got a tiny bit weepy at the underlying story of everything a mom will actually do for her child.
Loved this book!
