11. The Genie in the Jar The Genie in the Jar
from Henry Holt & Company

Customer Review:
I have an enormous respect for the singer Nina Simone. Therefore, I think it's safe to say that were Ms. Simone living today, she would probably eschew the joys of placing her songs in a picture book format. That doesn't mean, however, that she can't still inspire others to create original picture... more info

12. I Pledge Allegiance I Pledge Allegiance
from Candlewick
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
I think this is a nice book to teach a child the pledge of allegiance and to explain to them what the pledge means. This book breaks down the meaning of each word and explains them in a way that children can understand. It gives the history of the pledge, a little about the flag, what to do while... more info

15. Arlene Sardine Arlene Sardine
from Scholastic

Customer Review:
Arlene could be commentary, but why make it so complicated? This is a great book with brilliant artwork that young children love because things are made very obvious. I reconciles the fact that all the kids' books and cartoons personify small creatures and animals with the fact that we eat those... more info

16. Be Boy Buzz Be Boy Buzz
from Jump At The Sun
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
The first time I read this book was in my Black Studies class; my teacher brought it to class one day. It immediately caught my attention because I am a mother of a two-year old, energetic little boy! I knew that this book would be great for him! It teaches black children, particularly black boys,... more info

17. John Coltranes Giant Steps (Richard Jackson Books (Atheneum Hardcover)) John Coltrane's Giant Steps (Richard Jackson Books (Atheneum Hardcover))
from Atheneum/Richard Jackson Books
Price: $11.66

Customer Review:
Chris Raschka is one of our most ambitious children's book illustrators. When he's good, he's great, and he wins the Caldecott Award for best children's illustration. When he tries too hard, he's sly but opaque, clever but obscure. "Waffle," for example, plays with concept at the expense of clarity,... more info

18. Little Tree Little Tree
from Hyperion

Customer Review:
It is difficult to put into words the complex beauty of this book. If you are not familiar with the poetry of E.E. Cummings, this book will make you a surefire fan. The verse is sensitive, gentle and intimate. Beautifully paired with the whimsical, delicate and ever-bright illustrations by Mary... more info

19. Cant Sleep-board Cant Sleep-board
from Scholastic

Customer Review:
A very simple little book; my 3 grandkids (twins age 3 and a girl 5) just love it. One review mentioned that the text doesn't flow. I also found it clumsy the first time thru, but after that it'll be easy to read, because your kids will insist on it every night.

20. Simple Gifts: A Shaker Hymn Simple Gifts: A Shaker Hymn
from Henry Holt and Co. (BYR)

Customer Review:
My son participated in an enrichment class at his school focusing on Klee: his time, his works, his influence. Mrs. Greening, his teacher in this program, shared this book with me one day when I went in to observe! It is an absolutely beautful book inspired by Klee and the Shaker hymn. I am really... more info
