This is another step into reading book. These books are vital because students can work towards reading these alone.

The Pooh adore-ables series continues to live up to its name, offering up the cutest little baby versions of the Pooh friends. This rhyming board book has them playing Pooh Sticks and flying kites as part of their friendly playtime.

I especially love the cavalier little "bye-bye" thrown out when Eeyore and Piglet find themselves in moments of peril, carried off by a stream and a kite respectively. It really adds a deliciously dark undertone, a spicy zest to the cute-fest.

This book was terrible! Illustrations were adorable, but the strategies for getting Chick to sleep would all wake Chick up. I don’t want to encourage nighttime pillow fights and dance parties! Why wasn’t it lullabies, cuddles and breathing? Soft music? Don’t give them bad ideas!

There is not a lot to read in this book, but toddlers absolutely love lifting the flaps to discover the hidden surprise.
