Bagel's Lucky Hat is a comical story about Bagel the dog and his search for his missing lucky hat. My seven-year old son grabbed this book when he saw it and devoured the book quickly from cover to cover. After his first reading, he looked up at me and said, "Mama, who ever wrote this book has A LOT of imagination!", and I concurred.
Bagel the dog and his friend Becky the cat are getting ready for bedtime when Bagel is upset to discover his lucky hat is missing. As the friends puzzle about where the hat could be, Bagel thinks back over the wild antics of the day. Becky is in disbelief as Bagel recounts stories of sailing down a river with a school of laughing fishes, flying through the skies with a flock of friendly birds, chasing his lucky hat through the underground laboratory of a mad scientist, and getting trapped in a giant space-traveling robot, and making friends with aliens from deep space. Becky doesn't believe Bagel's outlandish stories, and it's a big surprise where Bagel's lucky hat turns up.

Panda bears are an enchanting species, so majestic and rare, yet seemingly cuddly and sweet. Tracks of a Panda is a beautiful children's book about a mama panda and her newborn baby panda, and their struggle to survive.
This gorgeous book illustrates the care and nurturing of the baby panda as the mother struggles to find bamboo for food and a home that is safe from predators, both animal and human.
Alongside the story of the pandas are informative facts about panda bears and their life, habits, skills, and challenges. A lovely story, a reflection of the universal bond between mother and baby, and the fragile struggle for survival.

Who doesn't love Sock Monkeys? I find them irresistible. I love that Sock Monkey has his own series of children's books starring himself and his plushy stuffed friends. Sock Monkey Rides Again by Cece Bell is the third picture book in the Sock Monkey series, and here Sock Monkey gets to star as a singing cowboy in a big movie! He gets to ride a horse, wear a spiffy outfit, and lasso a cow. However Sock Monkey is scared, because he has to kiss the leading lady - he doesn't want to have to kiss a girl! Ew!
The sequel to Sock Monkey Goes to Hollywood: A Star is Bathed and Sock Monkey Boogie-Woogie: A Friend is Made, the third book features Sock Monkey and his friends, Miss Bunn, Froggie, Blue Pig, and Sock Buddy as he learns how to be a singing cowboy movie star...and overcome his fears. This is a hilarious and endearing story about the beloved toy and his friends.

For subversive alphabet lovers - here's a great picture book with bright colors, a sassy story, and a mixed-up alphabet frenzy. AlphaOops! The Day Z Went First is a fun and hip tale for budding readers who don't like their letters in order.
This is the tale of the day Z hijacked A's alpha-dog status and the whole alphabet goes into chaos, as 26 stubborn, inspired, and lost letters wreck havoc on the orderly ABC's. Delightfully written by Alethea Knotis and illustrated by Bob Kolar.

Fairy Houses...Everywhere! is an amazing book filled with photographs of magical fairy houses constructed lovingly with all natural objects by creative fairy-friends of all ages. The natural art of building fairy houses was unearthed by Barry and Tracy Kane while visiting a small island off the coast of Maine. There in the woods Tracy discovered little fairy houses visitors had built, always following the guidelines of only using materials found in nature and not harming anything living.
Tracy began to spread the enchanting pastime through books, a dvd, and workshops. Now, the joy has inspired the creation of many new fairy house villages and an annual Fairy Houses Tour in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Fairy Houses...Everywhere! is filled with photographs of gorgeous real fairy houses in woodlands, on the beach, in meadows, in backyard gardens, in the air, and elaborate fairy mansions.
There are gorgeous fairy houses in this book, handbuilt with leaves, twigs, stones, dried grasses, flowers, seashells, pinecones, feathers, seedpods, gourds, creativity, love, and magic. This book will be treasured by all ages to look through again and again. It is an inspiration for all people to connect with nature in a fun hands-on way. Not just for kids, Tracy and Barry have inspired and photographed fairy house creators ranging from ages 3 to 93. Fairy house building can bring together multiple generations of family. Most importantly, the houses are incredibly adorable.
