Best Library Finds (2)


Machines Go to Work in the City is not quite as wonderful as Machines Go to Work, but it does have a lot of new machines. Garbage truck, vacuum truck, airplane, bucket truck. We saw a bunch of bucket trucks on the road the other day and Beckett knew exactly what they were.

Airport would be a good way to prepare your young child for a airplane trip. The people arrive at the airport, wait in line to check their bags, go through security, board the plane, and only on the last page take to the sky.

Creepy Carrots! is by far the best of this bunch. A clever and funny book about a rabbit who is stalked by the carrots he loves to munch, at first it seemed too scary for my 3-year-old. Pretty soon it was the most requested of the bunch. I can see why this book recently won a Caldecott sticker.
