A Beautiful Girl

My little girl (2 1/2) picked the book from the library and ever since we HAVE had to read it every night before bed, she also wants to sleep with the page open where all the animals say good night. She recites most of the lines and we really enjoy reading it to her. I am ordering a new one today!

We love this book! In it a little girl named Jenna is on her way to market when she meets some animals (they're so cute!) who think she's silly because she isn't just like them. Jenna, in her perfectly matter-of-fact manner sets them straight, telling them who she is and what she can do. Way to go, Jenna! The animals are duly impressed and ask to join Jenna on her walk. Who wouldn't want to join Jenna? She's straight-forward and thoughtful too: When they reach the market, she buys each animal a well-chosen treat. The book closes with a cozy bedtime scene. I think you and your child will enjoy reading A Beautiful Girl over and over at bedtime, laptime, any time. It's a keeper!
