Books like Blue Hat, Green Hat
By Sandra Boynton
For the toddler who's just starting to name colors and giggle at silliness, this is the book that turns getting dressed into a game they'll ask for again and again. Bouncy, silly, and satisfying, with a repeating joke little ones catch on to fast.
A parade of rhyming oddballs takes readers from near to far and here to there — a bumpy Wump, a singing Ying, a winking Yink who drinks pink ink — with no plot but plenty of silly counting and rhyming along the way.
A sound-making wonder named Mr. Brown moos like a cow, hoos like an owl, buzzes like a bee, and even chews gum like a grum-grumming hippo, daring readers to make every noise right along with him.
An alphabet parade of animals acts out each letter with a matching verb — an aardvark admiring, beavers ballooning, cats cleaning — all the way to a zigzagging zebra.
A paint-happy kid gets banned from painting after covering everything from ceiling to floor, then finds a wildly funny way to keep creating anyway — using every color on hand.
A boy sets out walking and spots one animal after another, a black cat, a brown horse, a red cow, each one peeking into view before he sees it fully.
A hungry creature works its way through a snack-filled alphabet, eating everything in sight from A to P before regret sets in — and a resolution to change follows.
A beachful of bare-bellied hippos celebrates the one thing they all have in common, with one tiny baby hippo whose entire vocabulary is BEE BO.
A cat gets a cupcake and asks for sprinkles to go with it, setting off a chain of requests and small messes that just keeps looping back on itself.
A mischievous family cat dodges bath time by scrambling Dad's chore list, so the family ends up mowing the floor, vacuuming the lawn, and mopping the baby instead of doing what they meant to.
A brown bear, a red bird, a yellow duck, and other colorful animals appear one by one, each asked the same singsong question about what it sees next.
Five little monkeys jump on the bed after saying goodnight to Mama — and one by one, they fall off, bump their heads, and get a call to the doctor.
