Mine are:
Shark in the Park
Mine
Owl Babies
Hairy Maclary

And a bonus for books linked to topics like Harvest, Halloween, Christmas, seasons etc.

I'm doing a little book club where I work. A lot of my faves are a little bit older like the Smartest Giant in Town. We might get to that by May or June!
