Go To Bed, Monster! by Natasha Wing
What a fun book :o)  A little girl named Lucy draws a monster who comes to life and they play together.  Soon Lucy wants to go to bed but the monster wants to keep playing.  Lucy draws a nice bed and blanket and some pink pajamas.  My favorite picture is when the monster is hungry and Lucy draws a pile of meatballs.  Author's semilocal, she lives in Arcata.
 
Harriet Dancing by Ruth Symes
Harriet is an overly friendly hedgehog who loves to dance.  One day she spies hundreds of butterflies dancing and wants to join in the fun but they're all snobby and say she can't dance with them.  Upset, Harriet runs off crying and rolls down a hill, covering herself with flowers.  She finds a friend who rolls himself in flowers too and they start dancing together.  Soon the other animals join in and because it looks like so much fun, the butterflies eventually join in too. 
 
Farmer Cap by Jill Kalz and illustrated by Sahin Erkocak
This book is awesome!  Farmer Cap is a freak farmer who doesn't grow beans and peas.  He grows popsicles and marshmallows.  The pictures in this book are as whimsical as you'd imagine.  Great fun!
