1 Queenie's a Gem
What a surprisingly great book! We chose Queenie, One of the Family on site from the library because of its whimsical illustrations. Now, after reading it to our three year old, again and again, we're constantly surprised by the new things we discover together. Now a family favorite, it's a thoroughly engaging book: the detailed illustrations are a delight for children as well as adults and provide a starting point for endless discussion. The text is easy to follow, thoughtful and melds seamlessly with the pictures. The book as a whole is funny and charming.
