"I Took My Frog to the Library", "Little White Rabbit" and "Mr. Wuffles!"

Animals make such fun picture book characters.

I Took My Frog to the Library
4 stars
Author: Eric Kimmel
Illustrator: Blanche Sims

The story pushes credulity and is almost ridiculous. The girl takes a series of 'pets' to the library with disastrous results.
The illustrations are colorful and do bring the disasters to life.

Little White Rabbit
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Kevin Henkes

This book is for younger children who seem to have endless questions and wonder about everything. The little white rabbit goes off on an adventure wondering what it would be like to be green, to fly, to be very big and more.
Every illustration reflects what the little rabbit would be like if his wondering became real for him. This, along with the text, is a good way to get children to think about new ways to look at the world.

Mr. Wuffles
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: David Wiesner

Mr. Wuffles is a very spoiled housecat. His owner keeps bringing home new toys for him to ignore. One 'toy' is different and the alien adventure begins. There is very little real text in the book.
The illustrations are really fun and often funny.
