Santa’s farm is busy getting ready for Christmas delivery and everyone is on hand to help.
A sweet remake of the Old MacDonald classic. The illustrations are a delight to explore, while the new words are fairly simple in nature.

WHen the family plans a trip to Peru, Pog, one of their guinea pigs, decides to tag along so that she can visit the land of her ancestors. When Pickle, Pog’s mate, finds her gone, he heads off in pursuit, for a bigger adventure than he could have imagined.
Definitely silly, sharp-eyed kids may have questions about all of the coincidences. Or they can lean into it and enjoy the silliness. There is a lot to look at on each page, too.

The children are headed to the barn on Old MacSpooky’s Farm. Before they can celebrate, they have several obstacles to bypass.
So much fun! The author took care to match the words and rhymes to the original song I will have to work on a spookier voice, however, when I read this one aloud. My absolute new favorite Halloween remake!

Meet five familiar sights of Halloween and hear their sounds in this board book.
I know my grandchildren will delight in pushing the buttons to make the sounds. Parents - there is an on/off switch on the back! The words are simple, but it is the sounds that carry the weight.

Pull the tabs and find a goal and the picture with some counting to do for each page of the board book. Both sides of each tab are put to use, plus the pages have some see-thru elements. A fun one to pair read.
