    Me Hungry!Me Hungry!

    by Jeremy Tankard

    Reading level: Ages 3-8

    Hardcover: 40 pages

    Publisher: Candlewick (April 22, 2008)

    Synopsis:

    … An inventive Stone Age boy takes matters into his own hands in a
    humorous, satisfying story for every young child who wants something
    NOW.

    “Me hungry!” the boy pleads. “Me busy,” say his
    preoccupied mom and dad. So the boy decides to go hunting, setting his
    sights on an elusive rabbit, a prickly porcupine, a too-mean tiger, and
    finally, a like-minded mammoth who’s more than happy to help. With
    comical, energetic illustrations and a simple, repetitive text, this
    child-friendly tale will have little listeners fully engaged right up
    to the funny final twist.
    …

    Comments: The last page is what makes this comic-like story special. Even the parents will be having a giggle at the end of this one! Be sure to check out the short video clips below.

    A Dinosaur Called TinyA Dinosaur Called Tiny

    by Alan Durant (Author), Jo Simpson (Illustrator)

    Reading level: Ages 4-8

    Hardcover: 32 pages

    Publisher: HarperCollins (June 24, 2008)

    Synopsis:

    … When Tiny the Dinosaur hatches out of a great, big egg, no one can
    believe how small he is! Tiny grows—a little—and tries to make friends
    with the other young dinosaurs, but they laugh and say that he isn’t
    big enough to play their games. But when one of the other dinosaurs is
    suddenly in trouble, Tiny’s small size—and big heart—help him save the
    day. …

    Comments: A great book for any child who has trouble fitting in, warming up to new friends, or just really likes dinosaurs. The sounds and words used make this a nice read-aloud.
