Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus

This is a great one too - just as funny as the other pigeon books.  Poor guy - he just wants to drive the bus, but that driver won't let him!

Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late!

Ok, have you read this book? It's hilarious! I'm trying to decide who likes it more, me and Chris or the kids. After reading it, Chris requested that I find everything from this author and bring it home.

We definitely love Mo Willems sense of humor. Apparently he's also a writer for Sesame Street which explains why I crack up every time I watch it.

Our favorite line in the book, "Ok, first of all, I'm not even tired!" What child has not said this when trying to get out of going to bed? Classic.

Girl in a Blue Dress

This book was based on Charles Dickens' marriage and is told from his wife's perspective. Although the names were changed, I found it fascinating and it gave me a desire to learn more about Charles Dickens and his family. I added every documentary I could find about him to my Netflixs queue! Now I just need some uninterrupted time to watch them :)

This really has become one of my favorite books and I'll definitely read it again. It was so well written that I found myself completely caught up in the story, going through all of the emotions with the characters.

I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone and bought my own copy. That's how much I loved it!

Henry Babysits

This is another Henry adventure that's lots of fun to read.  Henry is enjoying a quiet afternoon when his friend Clara drops by and asks him to babysit her nephew.  Suddenly, everyone in the neighborhood wants Henry to babysit and his peaceful afternoon turns to chaos!

Henry's Awful Mistake

Henry the duck is innocently cooking dinner for himself and his friend Clara one night, when an ant makes an appearance in the kitchen. He goes to great lengths to get rid of the ant - but things don't end quite the way he'd planned.

This has been a favorite book of mine since childhood. As an adult, I could remember the story and even the illustrations, but I couldn't remember the title or the author. That made finding a copy pretty difficult :)

Luckily, I found another Henry book at a yard sale and I was finally able to order a copy of the book from Amazon. It's still just as good as I remember and my kids love it too!
