 Board book by Kathi Appelt. The illustrator’s style is not my favorite, but the words have a perfect rhythm and rhyme that begs to be sung. I made up a tune, and my granddaughter loves to listen. It’s a charming and soothing bedtime book.

 Picture book by Janet Stevens. A fun trickster type story with a great ending! 

 Picture book by Timothy Robinson. This is a quality retelling of a Book of Mormon story. It would be a particularly good read in preparation for a baptism.

 Picture book by Brad Wilcox. This is a lovely picture book that teaches about the atonement of Jesus Christ by using a parable children will be able to relate to and understand. It is quite well done, and would be a great addition to an Easter bookshelf.

 Picture book by John Hendrix. Beautifully and faithfully written, while also remarkably accessible to modern children.  Includes retellings of The Good Samaritan, The Sermon on the Mount, The Wise Man and the Foolish Man, The Pearl of Great Price, The City on a Hill, The Lost Sheep, and The Prodigal Son.

 Picture book by Robert Munsch. Funny tale that shows the danger of following fads.

 Picture book by Daniel Kirk. Cute story that will get kids excited to write their own mini storybooks!
