This book starts off by telling readers just what exactly each letter of the word "monster" stands for. Of course, the "M" stands for "mean" - but what happens when one monster loses him "M"? This delightful story of an Onster and his optimism in the face of adversity (yes, heady words for a picture book, I know) was absolutely fun to read. The pictures are perfectly suited to the story and I think kids will really cheer for this one.

The lovable and curious Rocket is back! After learning to read with his patient teacher, the little yellow bird, Rocket now has the courage to decide he wants to write a story of his own. But what will his story be about? With a little help from a new friend, Rocket finds his perfect story. This is such a feel-good book - I definitely felt all warm and fuzzy inside after finishing it! Rocket is a great character, sure to have huge appeal to kids. My only complaint is that these stories are too long for storytime - otherwise I would be sharing them whenever I could!

This is a sweet story of Bear, who awakes one morning to find a delicious surprise waiting for him. From that day on, the surprises get sweeter and sweeter until Bear thinks he just might be in love with whoever is leaving these treats for him. So Bear leaves a present of his own. Will friendship blossom? I think we all know the answer to this, but the story is a delight to read. The illustrations are soft and beautiful, perfectly evoking the feeling of this story. I adored this book.
