Hilarious tale about politely standing up for your rights. A child's interest in reading is affected by how engaged the parent is during reading time so we recommend having books that appeal to both kids and parents.  Kids will sense your genuine chuckle when you hear who goes on strike at the farm.  Named a Caldecott Honor Book in 2001, this book is well illustrated and has a funny, modern tone.  

A heart warming story about finding your own path in life.  This is a rhyming book which exercises a child's listening muscles as they have to parse syllables differently than they would with normal spoken words.  A heightened ability to parse sounds helps babies learn to talk and toddlers build their vocabulary.
