He wrote one of our bedtime favorites . . . Leonardo, the Terrible Monster.
It's all about a monster who is terrible at scaring people. SPOILER ALERT! He eventually realizes that he can become a wonderful friend, instead.
While we don't own the Knuffle Bunny
books, they are our absolute favorites by Mo Willems. We've checked them out from the library more times than I can count and as I type this, I'm wondering why I haven't purchased them yet. All of the illustrations are drawn into New York City photos.Also, Naked Mole Rat Gets Dressed
. . . I, uh, I mean Jack loves that one, too! It's all about a Naked Mole Rat who is made fun of because he likes to wear clothes.We also have Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus!
, The Pigeon Wants a Puppy
, There Is a Bird On Your Head!, and I bought the new Cat the Cat, Who Is That?
books for Jack's Easter basket.While I haven't read them all, my guess is that there isn't a book by Mo Willems that we wouldn't love!
I love his books, too! Luke was a big fan of the Elephant and Piggy books, so we have a few of those in our collection. And because they're so simple, Bennett is already reading them to himself!
ReplyDeleteI love the cover art of that book! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI am not ashamed to admit that I bought four or five of the Elephant and Piggy books two years ago (I was so excited when I saw There Is A Bird On Your Head in Jack's room!). The illustrations are the best, especially the facial expressions.
