The Secret Knowledge of Grown-Ups
by David Wisniewski

This book is hysterical! All the things we adults say ("Don't bite your nails," "Don't jump on your bed!") are represented as a conspiracy of adults against kids...this books breaks down each thing and tells what's REALLY going on! Kids will be interested to know that when grownups say "Eat your vegetables", its really because they don't want the vegetables to gain control of the world. Pure wackiness!

The Sign on Rosie's Door
by Maurice Sendak

Rosie is my favorite Maurice Sendak character! This book is SO fun, in that it is so true to kid's play! There's not a whole lot to this story, but I think that's why I love it so much! It's very real in the way the characters interact...I can just see & hear the children. It reminds me alot of "The Little Rascals" and their little performances and mishaps! I highly recommend the story tape in conjunction...the narrator has a terrific way of adding life to Rosie and her friends! This is on the "Where the Wild Things Are" cassette, along with many other stories.

"Stand Back," Said the Elephant, "I'm Going to Sneeze!"
by Patricia Thomas

This is a funny story about the panic that erupts in the jungle when the elephant has to sneeze. All the animals remember the pandemonium that happened the LAST time he sneezed!

The Stinky Cheese Man & Other Fairly Stupid Tales
by Jon Scieska & Lane Smith

Oh this is just too goofy to miss! There's so much happening in this book, and you WON'T be able to keep a straight face, I promise! (Neither will the kids.) A spoof of many different fairy tales..."The Stinky Cheese Man" and his associates will live on in infamy from this book!

The Story of the Tooth Fairy
by Tom Paxton

This explains how the tooth fairy came to collect our teeth and how each exchange works towards mending the rift between fairies and humans. Very cute story and FANTASTIC pictures!

Sunflower House
by Eve Bunting

Another fantastic book by Eve Bunting! In this book, you'll learn how to plant sunflowers in such a way as to create a "house" to play in! Fabulous pictures!

Sunshine on my Shoulders
by John Denver

I got this book to review from Dawn Publications. This books is just BEAUTIFUL!! It takes John Denver's lovely song "Sunshine on my Shoulders" and puts it in a picture book format...You can't not sing it! The pictures are just so warm and inviting and the song is infectious...I can hear John Denver in my head every time I read this book to my children...and I can't just read it, I have to sing it! Very very cute book!
