The Little Crooked House by Margaret Wild - 40 pages
Despite living in a crooked house next to a noisy train that shakes its timbers every time it passes by, a crooked man and his crooked cat are more than happy in their humble abode and have no desire to change a single thing.
Again I love the illustrations of some of the easy books.

Hey Mr. Choo-Choo, Where are you going? by Susan Wickberg
Hey Mr. Choo-Choo, Where are you going? by Susan Wickberg - 32 pages
This busy train is really going places! I?m puff-puff-puffin? / In my smokesmoke- stack. / Bells are clang-clang-clangin?. / I?m on the good track! He has people and cargo to carry past cities and towns, through a tunnel, across bridges, and up and down hills as he click-clack-clicks all the way to a favorite destination?the seashore!
Reading some easy books because of the great illustrations.
Fun to read, though.

Rainstorm by Barbara Lehman
Rainstorm by Barbara Lehman - 32 pages
It can be lonely sometimes on a rainy day in a big house with no one else around and there’s only the quiet to keep you company. But if you find a key, a mysterious key, that leads you to an unexpected place . . . chances are your afternoon is about to get a lot more interesting.
Beautifully illustrated.

Blanche Hates the Night by Sibylle Delacroix
Blanche Hates the Night by Sibylle Delacroix - 32 pages
Every day ends the same. Night always falls. Blanche’s mom turns off the light and closes Blanche’s bedroom door. It’s time to go to sleep.
There’s just one problem: Blanche hates the night. She does not want to go to sleep! She would much rather play
(me too)
Good for opening the discussion with a child about the importance of sleep.

My Father's Arms are a Boat by Stein Erik Lunde
My Father's Arms are a Boat by Stein Erik Lunde - 40 pages
It's quieter than it's ever been. Unable to sleep, a young boy climbs into his father's arms. Feeling the warmth and closeness of his father, he begins to ask questions about the birds, the foxes, and whether his mom will ever wake up. They go outside under the starry sky. Loss and love are as present as the white spruces, while the father's clear answers and assurances calm his worried son. Here we feel the cycles of life and life's continuity, even in the face of absence and loss
Great illustrations. They are all right despite the pain of a father and son moving through pain and grief.
