LETTERS AND 99 CENTS
Pore over Tana Hoban’s beautiful, bright photographs
of things that begin with each letter of the alphabet
and flip the book around to count, using numerals and
coins, the numbers from one to one hundred. This book
will fascinate babies and teach older children about
letters, sounds and coins. |

TRASHY
TOWN
Mr. Gilly collects the trash from all around Trashy
Town and ends his rounds by cleaning himself up in the

a big truck, a hero, a rhythmic text, and a place to
join in yelling “stop!” each time Mr. Gilly
comes across a trash can. |
BIG
FAT HEN
The familiar nursery rhyme is illustrated with large,
colorful paintings of appealing fat hens “picking
up sticks” and “laying them straight”. |

in to sleep. |

the way children play and the wonderful world of big
machinery. |

A GOOD LUNCH

silly story of the major accomplishments that make up
the day of every baby. |
