Books like Hooray for Birds!
By Lucy Cousins
For toddlers who flap their arms and squawk at every bird in the yard, this one turns that energy into a whole book. Bright, bouncy, and full of joyful noise.
A little fish paddles through the underwater world, meeting all kinds of fish along the way — spotty, stripy, happy, grumpy, hairy, scary, even curly whirly and twisty twirly.
A little boy turns his living room into a bustling traffic world, using records as rotaries, shoe boxes as highway ramps, and crayons as lane markers to make his cars stop and go.
A rhyming romp through everything that counts as a house — anthills, dog kennels, corn husks, pea pods — and eventually the surprising idea that a shoe, a mirror, even a word, might have a house too.
Bold die-cut shapes stack and overlap page after page, transforming circles, squares, and triangles into nine recognizable zoo animal faces right before your eyes.
A rambunctious crew of dinosaurs shakes tails and stomps feet through a string of silly dance moves — the Shimmy Shimmy Shake, the Quivery Quake, and a rollicking Cha Cha Cha.
An endlessly imaginative girl transforms into robots, trees, and countless other characters through rhyming games, while her messy room and her mother's patience wait in the background.
A parade of dinosaurs shows off opposites — big and tiny, plump and lean, early and later — while sunbathing, dancing, painting, and packing into an elevator.
A young inventor imagines the ultimate car — complete with a snack bar, a swimming pool, and a robot chauffeur named Robert — then takes it out for a wild test drive with his dad.
A curious kid heads outside to explore wind firsthand — feeling it push and pull, chasing hats, and figuring out why something you can't see is so easy to feel.
A big, friendly bear wanders through the woods noticing colors all around him — inviting little ones to spot matching colors of their own on every page.
