Zany Cats and Windy Days
Sometimes I want to read a book that rhymes, sometimes one with a good story, and other times I'm looking for a short read because I am so tired I don't want bedtime to last any longer.

Try "Zin, Zin, Zin, A Violin", "Hush, Little One", "Bear Snores On", "Bear Feels Sick" and "Guess How Much I Love You" (which does not rhyme, but I think of when I think of the Bear books).
