I'm The Biggest Thing In The Ocean by Kevin Sherry

This is about a giant squid who goes around the ocean showing us how he's bigger than everything, and you can tell he's really proud of this fact, in a fun way. Then a whale comes behind him and eats him in all of his glory and he's shocked for a second. But then he looks around at all of the other animals in the whale and then proclaims happily that he's the biggest thing in the whale.

 It's an optimistic book about a squid who happy with who he is enough to see how he's great no matter the situation. It's short, but it's good to read out loud and has bright, colourful pictures.

The Pigeon Wants a Puppy! by Mo Willems

I think I like this one even more than don't let the pigeon ride the bus. The pigeon is so much more over the top in this one. Not in an unnecessary, ostentatious way, but in a fun, energetic cute way. Just look at the cover! Look at that face! It's cute, I smile. And I suppose the kids would like it too >.>

The Black Book of Colours by Menena Cotin

This is a really cool book, it's a kids book of colours for blind children.

At the end it has the braille alphabet. It's a really cool idea
