Wonderfully Silly Children’s Books
So, I’ve been posting lots of new books and audiobooks that we’ve been adding to the library lately. Well, now I’d like to introduce some fun children’s books that I’m adding to our collection. These were a favorite with my children and I was surprised we didn’t have any of these in our collection before. I needed to remedy that! Mo Willems writes wonderful, silly stories about a pigeon who doesn’t always like being told what he can and cannot do. I highly recommend these simple, fun books for your children. Here are the ones I’ve just added to our shelves:
| Don’t let the pigeon drive the bus! / | Willems, Mo. | |
| The pigeon needs a bath! / | Willems, Mo, | |
| Don’t let the pigeon stay up late! / | Willems, Mo. |
Lots of new books and audio books
