Duck on a Bike by David Shannon

Duck on a Bike by David Shannon is a book about a duck that takes the opportunity to ride a bicycle around the barnyard and what the barnyard animals have to say about the duck's display.

We liked this book very much. It is easy to read and funny for all ages. It gives us the opportunity to imagine how each of the barnyard animals would speak and tells us what they think about the duck riding around th barnyard on a little boys bicycle. The kids love it to be read using various animal voices.

Good for young listeners to work on the sounds that animals makes as well since each animal has a response to the duck riding by on his bike.

Avarie's review: "I think its funny to see the duck on the bike and talk like each of the animals. I think its funny when they all stare at the bikes and then ride them too."

I WILL NEVER NOT EVER EAT A TOMATO by Lauren Child

A Charlie and Lola book, if you are familiar with the Charlie and Lola characters.

We like this book. It gives a great idea on presenting foods that your child doesn't like or doesn't want to try. My daughter asked for "cloud fluff" for dinner (that's mashed potatos if you read the book) and has since decided that we should read this book before dinner each night so we can decide what to call the food. She thinks its fun to figure out fun names for the foods and then eat them pretending they are rain drops or cloud fluff. We spent last night at dinner renaming the foods on our plate.

May be a good one for your picky eaters to read. Or for the parents of picky eaters to get some ideas :)

Avarie's review: "It's very funny. We should read this book everyday when we have carrots and stuff. And when we are eating potatos we will be eating cloud fluff."
