We found just that in Orange Pear Apple Bear
The illustrations are simple, to the point and enjoyable.

Misbehaving Feet
We all had a good laugh reading this story and to be honest, I don't blame her feet. BB and I agreed that we would want to bust a move too, if we had so many restraints on our lives.

Whimsy, to put it lightly
Not only does the moral of the story suggest that you look further and the surface of a person, but it is also refreshing change from the run of the mill princess or romance tale and the illustrations are simultaneously beautiful, unexpected and amusing.
If you are looking for other alternative princess tales, try Princess Hyacinth

Help Tackle New Sibling Jealousy
Smile, Principessa!
If you have more than one kid you might find this a helpful book. BB thought Baby Bino was hilarious and likes to recreate the scene at the end of the book.

Simple things in life
Maybe I am suffering from a bit of nostalgia, but I have really been enjoying these three books for their simple stories of what seems like a simpler life where baking, gardening and self-sufficiency are important. All three stories are told with fairly plain language and illustrated with simple, yet engaging pictures.
A Garden for a Groundhog
This Is the Bread I Baked for Ned
Pancakes for Breakfast

Finding Giants
I don't have much to say about this book other than that I really like the sentiment and I love the fresh illustrations.
