Molly, Olive, and Dexter: The Guessing Game by Catherine Rayner (Author, Illustrator) ISBN: 9781536234145
My thoughts: A bunny, an owl, and a fox take friendship to a new level when playing a version of "I Spy" called "The Guessing Game." Beautifully illustrated in watercolors and delicate drawings, Molly, Olive, and Dexter take turns posing a "guess what" question to the other two critters who in turn try to guess.
I just absolutely love this charming book.

About the book: Olive the owl is especially good at playing Guess What?, frustrating her friends in this tenderly illustrated story about an endearing trio.
Outside their home in the oak tree at the edge of the meadow, three animal friends are eager to play Olive’s favorite guessing game. “Guess what I’m thinking about,” says Dexter the fox, looking straight at his answer, giving it away. Next is Molly the hare, whose answer is easily guessed because she has pieces of it sticking out of her mouth. But when Olive the owl takes her turn, her friends are soon stumped and grumbly, ready to give up. What could be two things Olive is thinking about at the same time—things that are nearby and lovely, even lovelier than flowers? With beautifully spare, expressive watercolor illustrations, quiet humor, and a gentle text, Kate Greenaway Medalist Catherine Rayner portrays familiar toddler emotions with reassurance and charm, capturing a moment among three friends that young children will feel instantly at home with.
Bizzy Bear: Preschool by Benji Davies, ISBN: 9781536234817
My thoughts: This is a perfect interactive board book for little toddlers. They will have fun with the tabs to pull out, push, and there is a lot of charm and cuteness in the Bizzy illustrations. The few pages (all very sturdy board) take Bizzy through his day at Preschool.
Another charming and entertaining board book in the Bizzy collection for little ones.
