Ira has been given permission to sleep over at his friend’s house. He’s very excited until his sister asks him if he will take his teddy bear along. Ira wants to take the teddy bear, but he’s afraid that his friend will laugh at him.
Ira Sleeps Over is a simple story with a seemingly simple dilemma. After all, how hard can it be to decide whether or not you are going to do something? As this book shows, it can be very hard to make a decision, especially if you risk looking silly. But, as Ira finds out, sometimes we really have nothing to worry about in the first place.

Young “Moppy” doesn’t want to get a haircut, but is sent against his will to the barber shop by himself. What will convince him to get a haircut?
Mop Top is yet another delightful book from Don Freeman. Everything works out well, with a quite funny turn-around before the end. Some picture books are more fun for the adults reading aloud than for children, but here, everything is equally enjoyable by all ages. The pictures are fun, too.

Katy the Kangaroo has a problem. She has no pocket in which to carry little Freddie, her son. All the other animals have ways to carry their babies, but Katy just can’t find a good way to carry Freddie. In desperation, she goes to the city to try to find a pocket.
This is such a sweet little book, and the pictures (drawn by H. A. Ray, co-author of Curious George) are so cute. I’ve read this one to many of my little friends, and it has yet to grow old.

Mike Mulligan and his steam shovel, Mary Anne, do various digging jobs. The more people watching them, the faster and better they work. Then newer shovels that are not steam powered are invented and no one wants to hire steam shovels anymore. One day, Mike Mulligan sees in the newspaper that the town of Popperville is building a new town hall and Mike Mulligan decides that he will dig the cellar for the new town hall.
This is a great book for young children who like machines and it also tells a very good story.
