Chester's Way, by Kevin Henkes

Chester's Way book cover

Chester definitely has his own way of doing things, and his friend, Wilson, loves tagging along. All goes well until Lilly, who also has her own unique way of doing everything (talking backwards, cutting sandwiches into shapes, etc), moves into the neighborhood. My daughter loved this picture book and others by Kevin Henkes when she was young, and I sure loved reading it to my 4 year old niece recently. Kevin Henkes does a great job of both writing and illustrating this book!

A sweet book about how friends can care for each other, Karma Wilson's "Bear Feels Sick" is a great picture book for children and adults. Jane Chapman's illustrations are soft and sweet, and show how each of Bear's friends contribute to trying to help him feel better.
