I LOVE Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball! I forgot about that one. That's a great list and I look forward to checking them out. Thanks, Mom.
Well, like you, I couldn't get a lot of these at my own library. I did find Bob, which you can read about on my blog. The few I did find were cute, but more toddler-ish so we didn't check them out. Oh, we did get Catch That Goat and it wasn't too bad and it held Cam's interest.
Thanks for the great list. I decided to print a copy of it and save it for when Dallin is a bit older. I checked out Little Green once (which I thought was cute) for him and everytime I tried to read it he'd just close the book. He's not much into storylines yet. He's all about turning the pages.
