Dream Snow
Putting on his red suit, he goes outside and places gifts under the tree for his animals, bringing holiday cheer to all. Clever lift-the-flaps reveal the animals hidden under the snow in the farmer's dream, making this board book edition a treat for all ages. "Few in number are the parents who have made it through their toddler's years on just one copy of Carle's The Very Hungry Caterpillar . Dream Snow has similar ingredients: a simple story, lively collage-like illustrations and a fun gimmick for little hands . "The pictures are in Carle's trademark richly colored and textured collages that capture the snowy magic of Christmas." Young fans of Eric Carle's The Very Quiet Cricket , The Very Clumsy Click Beetle , and other multisensory books, will delight in pushing the same microchip button the farmer pushes to hear the tinkling, oddly eerie holiday tune. In an even more unusual departure from standard picture books, Carle inserts a clear plastic sheet, covered with snowflakes and a white blanket, before each illustration of the dreaming farmer and his animals.

"My granddaughter loves this book in hardcover, so I bought this version with pick up flaps for a baby shower."
"When received, the clear plastic "snow" had taken the color off of the actual pictures."

Best Children's City Life Books

Little Blue Truck Leads the Way board book
Everywhere Blue looks, he sees buses, police cars, taxis, vans, a street sweeper, and even the mayor’s limousine. Brimming with bright colors, sounds, and city energy, this adventure makes working together and taking turns more fun than ever.
Reviews
"We love the original Little Blue Truck book so we were excited to try this one."
"It tries to teach a good lesson, similar to the first book."
"The illustrations are first-rate, with a lot of detail to explore, including several different kinds of vehicles and stores and tall buildings, and many different kinds of people on the street. The storyline is about a tangle of fast-moving traffic as Little Blue Truck comes into town with a load of lettuce to sell, and the mayor's limousine breaking down in the middle of it."
"The illustrations are just kinda difficult to really fully see on some pages, as the scene was split onto different pages with some car being split into both."
"This is my son's favorite story from his favorite series."
"My son loves this book."
"He asks questions about the expressions on the cars faces and likes to point things out on the pages."
"My 4 yr old grand son LOVES this book....he has the first book "The little blue truck" already, and was so happy with the second one."

Best Children's House & Home Books

The Disney Princess Cookbook
From Rapunzel's Frying Pan Eggs to Ariel's Sea Turtle Cupcakes, this beautiful cookbook is filled with delicious recipes inspired by the Princesses' many adventures.
Reviews
"I couldn't stand Disney's extreme "makeovers" on all the princesses, where they glammed them up by not only giving them more makeup and fancier hair and clothes, but also changed their bodies and faces, making them taller, skinnier, paler, older and vapid. But in this book, the princesses look just like they did in the movies, very cute, more "real" (as real as a cartoon can get) and down-to-earth, with some personality."
"Book came nicely packaged."
"My daughter is three and loves to “cook” with me. Every recipe has a photo (I wish every cookbook was like that!). and a lovely drawing of the princess cooking it."
"Finally, being Disney fans, we love the artwork and my daughter always relates to the recipes and the characters who made them."
"Being involved in preparing meals is important and you have an opportunity to teach them math skills in a fun way."
"I love that they make the food pretty to eat, shaped like flowers in one."
"I really wanted a cook book to start with my daughter a few things here or there."
"This had recipes so cute and easy that I almost kept it for myself instead of gifting it to my kid sister."
