Will’s Quill (Hardcover)
by Don Freeman
ISBN: 0670036862
Price: USD 13.25
30 used & new available from USD 2.89
Willoughby Waddle is a goose who lives in old England. One day, tired of doing the same things all the time, he decides to go to London. After having several bad, sometimes frightening, experiences, Willowby meets up with a kind man. Later that night, Willoughby is able to repay the man for his kindness in a way only a goose could.
Will’s Quill is a great book to enjoy on your own or to read aloud to someone else. I think that my favorite part has to be when Willoughby tries to “rescue” his friend. The results are quite funny. If you enjoy Will’s Quill, you should check out some of Don Freeman’s other books, several of which are still in print.

Are You My Mother? (Hardcover)
by P.D. Eastman
ISBN: 0394800184
Price: USD 8.99
600 used & new available from USD 0.10
When a mother bird leaves her egg to look for some food, the baby bird hatches and goes on a search to find his mother, even though he doesn’t know what she looks like. He meets a kitten, then a hen, a dog, a cow, a car, a boat, an airplane, and a big thing. But where is his mother?
This book is fun to read aloud but is also good for beginning readers. A five-star picture book.

Least of All (Hardcover)
by Carol Purdy
ISBN: 0689504047
Price: —
18 used & new available from USD 0.35
Raven Hannah is the youngest child in her family. She wants to help with the work on her family’s farm, but everyone always tells her that she is too little. Finally, Raven Hannah is given the job of churning butter. While performing this long task, Raven Hannah learns to do something that no one else in her family can do.
This is one of my favorite picture books. The ending is quite touching, especially because Raven Hannah’s desire to be strong enough to help with the farm work is so clear in the beginning of the story. Sadly, Least of All is out of print.

Josh McBroom is having trouble with a big wind that threatens to ruin his wonderful one acre farm that will grow anything (even his sons’ marbles). This isn’t just any old wind, though. This wind moves post holes, takes the milk bucket, and even sucks McBroom’s children up the chimney! What can he do to save his farm and his kids, and get rid of that bear jumping rope with the clothesline?
Once again, Sid Fleischman has written a story full of silliness that is just barely believable. I hardly scratched the surface of the goofy events that the story contains. Just try not to die laughing and you’ll be okay.

After rescuing the baby dragon from Wild Island, Elmer starts his journey home. The dragon is happy to fly Elmer home, but a storm at sea lands them both on an island populated only by canaries. While there, Elmer learns something terrible: the king canary is dying of curiosity about a secret and the other canaries are curious to know what the secret is. Elmer knows that the only way to cure the canaries is to have the king tell his secret. But is the king willing?
Elmer and the Dragon picks up where My Father’s Dragon leaves off. In fact, all three books in the series could be combined into one book. Though this book is geared toward younger readers, it makes a fun quick read for the older audience.
