Mrs. Fay's Top 10 Picks for Younger Readers Preschool-Grade 2


Bully. Seeger, Laura Vaccaro. Illus. by the author. Roaring Brook/Neal Porter 
Bull becomes larger and more threatening with each animal encounter until a fed-up goat calls Bull on being a bully. Simple text and clever art make for a powerful tale.
The Day the Crayons Quit. Daywalt, Drew. Illus. by Oliver Jeffers. Philomel 
Duncan just wants to color but his crayons have minds of their own. The imaginative humor and quirky illustrations will encourage creative youngsters to think outside the box.
Exclamation Mark. Rosenthal, Amy Krouse. Illus. by Tom Lichtenheld. Scholastic
In this simple, charming picture book, an exclamation mark learns a little bit about punctuation and a lot about being himself as a pesky question mark helps him discover his talent for emphasis.
Flight of the Honey Bee. Huber, Raymond. Illus. by Brian Lovelock. Candlewick
A day in the life of a honey bee scout is full of drama, excitement and danger as it zig zags from flower to flower, spreading pollen all around.

The budding relationship between an awkward girl and a graceful flamingo is revealed through carefully orchestrated flaps in a minimalist setting and a limited color palette. (A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book)

Moo! LaRochelle, David. Illus. by Mike Wohnoutka. Walker
Using just the word "Moo!" to express his excitement, glee, fear, consternation, and embarrassment, an adventuresome cow has the adventure of a lifetime when he steals the farmer's car.
Mr. Wuffles! Wiesner, David. Illus. by the author. Clarion
In a nearly wordless science fiction tale of epic and miniature proportions, a cat finds a new toy that is a tiny spaceship. Illustrations shine in this innovative picture book-graphic novel hybrid. (A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book)
