Books

Janet and Allan Ahlberg little kids 3-5 years		Each Peach Pear Plum hardback B&N	This book rhymes in a delightful way. Storybook characters are hiding in each of the pictures and are fun to find.

Janet and Allan Ahlberg 3-5 years		The Jolly Postman and Other People's Letters hardback B&N	This is the first book my younger daughter mentioned when I told her I was putting this site together. This is a very clever book, in which the postman delivers letters to various storybook characters, such as the Three Bears and Cinderella. Each letter must be removed from an envelope on the page. The one to the Three Bears is from Goldilocks apologizing for her bad behavior.
Sandra Boynton little kids 3-5 years		Blue Hat, Green Hat paperback B&N	This is one of our all-time favorite little kids' books. We have given it over and over again as a baby present. The language is repetitive and the silly turkey who always dresses wrong delights kids. They love saying "oops" every other page.

A. A. Milne 3-5 years		Winnie the Pooh/The House at Pooh Corner paperback B&N	The original Pooh stories, not the Disney versions, are very sweet, low-key stories. Part of their charm is that small children frequently understand what's happening better than Pooh does. The paperback version here also includes When We Were Very Young and Now We are Six, collections of poems.
A. A. Milne 3-5 years		Winnie the Pooh/The House at Pooh Corner hardback B&N
Robert Munsch 3-5 years 6-10 years		The Paper Bag Princess hardback B&N	This is a picture book with a great message for girls. They can use their brains (not violence) to best dragons, and they don't need to put up with men (even princes) who don't appreciate them. And it's funny too.
Robert Munsch 3-5 years 6-10 years		The Paper Bag Princess paperback B&N
Margaret K. Wetterer 3-5 years 6-10 years		Kate Shelley and the Midnight Express paperback B&N	This book is an easy reader with very simple words and sentences. It is the true story of a girl who risked her life to save others in a terrible storm in Iowa in 1881.

Tapes/CDs

little kids 3-5 years		Lullaby Magic tape B&N	My younger daughter received an earlier version of this tape as a baby present. She started listening to it at bedtime when she was about one. She is still listening to it at bedtime 11? years later. It is a tape that parents can listen to every night as well. One side has traditional lullabies sung; the other side has just the instrumental version. My daughter has always preferred the sung version, but she never made a fuss on the "other" nights. We also own Lullaby Magic 2, but have never found it as appealing.
		Lullaby Magic cd B&N
		Singing and Swinging cd B&N	Another good sing-along tape.
Raffi 3-5 years		Singable Songs cd B&N	Both my kids enjoyed Raffi.

Videos/DVDs

3-5 years 6-10 years		Brave Little Toaster video B&N	3-year olds could be scared by the scary junkyard scene, but older kids will enjoy this cartoon about five appliances trying to find their old master.
3-5 years		Wee Sing Together video B&N	My children loved this video about a middle-of-the night surprise birthday party. We still keep it around to play for some small child who comes to dinner and needs something to do. From the personal reviews on Amazon, lots of other kids did too.
