) Handsome full-color photos of animal babies and their mothers light up the pages of this sturdy board book. Each animal is introduced with a partial view and some hints as to its identity, as in “an animal that goes ‘Oink’ and has a curly tail.” The turn page shows the whole animal and its mommy and the baby’s proper name, as in “piglet.” Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2006.

) Newest in a fun series that invites children to give their favorite answer of “NO!” to some fairly obvious questions. This book is all about clothes and their connections to the seasons. 2 & up. Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2006.

) Mama Duck only looks ahead, so she fails to see all of her ducklings who appear one by one behind her in this beginner’s counting book with cutaway pages. 2–4. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2006.

) This is not so much a counting book as another one of Carle’s glorious knowing and naming books. Ten little toy ducks fall off a container ship and meet a variety of ocean-going creatures along the way. Ends with an electronic squeak that little listeners will love to anticipate and activate. 2 & up. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2006.

) From the author of Hug, another very simple concept book that is told largely through illustrations and next to no words. This time a little chimp discovers that tall and small are really only a matter of perspective as the tall animals of the jungle keep giving Chimp a new way of seeing himself and others. 21⁄2 & up. Age: Toddlers,Preschool. Award Year: 2006.
) Winter has come and Sam is lucky to have a fine red coat, green fuzzy mittens and a blue wooly hat. But as he loses each of his things there is a repetitive rhythm to the little story that toddlers will soon catch onto and enjoy. Too bad the red coat is not as red as red should be. It’s a short and sweet story for 2 & up. Age: Toddlers. Award Year: 2007.
