Great children's books from the summer so far:

Always lots of heinies at the zoo by Ayum Halliday - nothing makes children giggle more than looking at the animal bums at the zoo and this books is ALL about them.

Spoon by Amy Rosenthal - ever long to have someone else's exciting life? Spoon realizes that spoons can do many things that forks, knives and the ever elusive chopsticks cannot do.

Beach Day by Karen Roosa - while not a new title, still very sweet and a perfect intro to your beach daytrip.

How do Dinosaurs Say I love You by Jane Yolen and Mark Teague - the next in the How do Dinosaurs collection, this one is especially sweet. As dinosaur goes through his day having tantrums and being a typical toddler, mom and dad make sure that they remind dino that they love him no matter what.
