2004 Award
(by Lisa Wheeler/ illus. by Maribel Suarez, Little Brown $15.95 Score:
) Mamas are going to love this tender and lyrical chronicle of a baby growing from newborn to big one-year old toddler. In fact, it may be more of a sentimental journey for Mamas than babies. However, little listeners like to hear stories of when they were little and they are sure to enjoy the very special little love song she sings at each stage-which happens to be quite reminiscent of the lyrical verse of Maurice Sendak’s classic Chicken Soup & Rice. 3 & up.
Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2004.
2004 Award
(by Margery Cuyler/ illus. by Will Hillenbrand, Scholastic $15.95 Score:
) Learning good manners comes best by example, not a book, but children will see the upside-down humor of this dinner party. Should pig wipe his muddy hooves on the tablecloth? Of course not, but as each of the animals arrive they do something ridiculous that makes the young listener feel so wise and above the fray. 3 & up.
Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2004.

(Teresa Bateman/illus. by Nadine Bernard Westcott, Whitman $15.95 Score:

2005 Award
(Deloris Jordan & Roslyn M. Jordan/illus. by Shane , Simon & Schuster $16.95 Score:

2005 Award
(Jonathan Emmett/illus. by Rebecca Harry, Scholastic $15.95 Score:
) Ruby, the littlest of five ducklings, is not the first to hatch, swim, or eat. But in her "own good time" she does all this and more. A reassuring picture book for the littlest ducking in any family. 3 & up. Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2005.
2005 Award
(Nicole Rubel, Farrar Straus $15.95 Score:
) With so many twins in the world today, this book will appeal to more than a select few! Rubel explains how twins come to be, the difference between fraternal and identical twins, and a host of interesting historical tidbits about twins. 5 & up. Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2005.
2005 Award
(Jan Fearnley, Candlewick $15.99 Score:
) Exuberant preschoolers will relate to Wilf, a little mouse who means well but is always going "crash, bang, wallop." While his mother pleads with him to slow down, her own exuberance leads to her own messy mishap. 3 & up. Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2005.
2005 Award
(Sam McBratney/illus. by Anita Jeram, Candlewick $15.99 Score:
) A tender book that addresses sibling rivalry with a sympathetic ear and heart. Although the cubs know they are loved, there comes a moment when each wants to be the favorite one. From the gifted creators of Guess How Much I Love You. 3 & up. Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2005.
2006 Award
(Farrar Straus $12.95 Score:
) This mostly wordless book is just begging for a child storyteller to interpret the illustrations and tell the story of Carl’s very busy afternoon when he did everything but sleep. Wordless books like this are perfect for the beginning storyteller. It is not likely to be told twice in the same words and each time the story is apt to grow fuller. 4–8. Age: Preschool,Early School Years. Award Year: 2006.
2006 Award
(by Lynne Berry/illus. by Hiroe Nakata, Holt $15.95 Score:
) A lively romp as five little ducks wake up to find a snowy day. Told in zippy rhyme, this captures the flavor of a winter day of fun topped with cups of cocoa and a cozy ending. 3 & up. Age: Preschool. Award Year: 2006.
