Staff Pick
My son loved Haiku Baby when he was a baby, and even though he's transitioning away from board books, he loves this follow-up, too. The illustrations and haikus are lovely and delightful, and finding the tiny caterpillar on each of the pages makes the reading experience even more fun. Recommended By Jill O., Powells.com
