Too Many Toys by David Shannon

Spencer has way too many toys, so much that his dad steps on his Legos and his mom trips on his race cars.  People give Spencer toys for birthdays and holidays--even 4th of July and his whole house is crammed from top to bottom with toys.  One day Spencer's mom makes him pick some toys to get rid of and asks him to put them in a box.  But then the box becomes a toy too!

 

Potato Joe by Keith Baker

Simple rhyming book a la one two buckle my shoe.  I've never been so enamored with illustrated potatoes before.  The potatoes in this book look a little like thumbprints :o)

 

Melrose and Croc: An Adventure to Remember by Emma Chichester Clark

It's Croc's birthday and Melrose, a yellow dog, wants to catch a fish as a surprise present.  While out at sea, there is a storm and men with a lifeboat go to save Melrose.  When they return the whole town is there to cheer Croc.  I liked this story, it felt kind of old school.

 

Rabbit & Squirrel: A Tale of War & Peas by Kara LaReau

Loved it!  A Rabbit and a Squirrel are across the street neighbors but don't know each other.  They've both got lovely gardens and when a mysterious human hand plucks their vegetables, they immediately blame each other for ruining the other's garden.  Oh and they're mean too!  Squirrel floods Rabbit's house and flushes him right out!  This book is pretty fun.
