I Don’t Want to Go to Sleep features our froggy friend from I Don’t Want to be a Frog puzzling over how frogs get to spend the winter. Initially, our frog friend wants to spend the winter having fun in the snow and drinking hot cocoa and then snuggling up by the fire in a blanket. The other animals gently explain that frogs hibernate like bears but do so in the mud rather than a cave. The frog comes to understand the importance of hibernating and brings his friends along to join him.

Our daughter is crazy about frogs and was a bit skeptical when she saw this book. The story focuses on a frog who isn’t very comfortable in his own green skin. He imagines life would be much better as a cat, or a pig, or perhaps an owl. The little frog ultimately learns that being a frog holds is own unique rewards.
The Somethingosaur is a delightful rhyming tale that features a brave little newborn creature who is on the search for his family and his home during the time of the dinosaurs. This book is beautifully illustrated and includes a fun surprise at the end for the reader. This one is a winner!

Peter from Peter, Paul, and Mary has collaborated with Lenny Lipton to create a children’s book version of the beloved song Puff the Magic Dragon, and it is a winner. The lyrics of the song have been brought to life with amazing full-page illustrations that delight readers of all ages. This book also includes a four song CD recorded by Peter Yarrow.
The Daily Question for You and Your Child is a nifty journal that allows you to capture your child’s thoughts and feelings about a variety of subjects over the course of a three year period. This would be a delightful keepsake to use with a young child, but it would also be terrific to use with older children who may not be as chatty about their hopes and dreams as they were when they were younger. The Daily Question would be a lovely gift for a family…Perhaps even your own!
