    My four year old boy loves Stuck by Oliver Jeffers. He laughs and laughs at the whole thing, pointing all all the stuff in the tree. I think it’s fun to listen to the author read the book, too. HarperCollins published a video of it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hipx6HJs4XQ.

    Thanks Kansas Mom! We’ll check that one out too. 🙂

    Great list! My son loves the Scaredy Squirrel books. There are several different titles in the series. The first page always gives a direction that must been done before the book can be read (check under the bed, wash hands with soap, etc.). Each page has a different layout so it’s not just text/picture format. Fun times for sure!

    Thanks Beth! I haven’t seen those, so I’ll look for them.
