2004’s amazing storytime books included:

1. Pickin’ Peas by Margaret Read MacDonald, illustrated by Pat Cummings
In this modern variation on the classic Brer Rabbit tales, a young girl attempts to outwit Mr. Rabbit, who has been raiding her garden patch. Join us as we sing the infectious pickin’ peas song and find out if someone is finally able to outsmart Mr. Rabbit.



2. Feathers for Lunch by Lois Ehlert
Cat makes his escape to the great outdoors in the hopes of having a scrumptious bird for lunch. For some reason, the birds all hear him approaching and all he gets are dry, old feathers for lunch.  Young birdwatchers will find all their favorites starring in this vibrantly illustrated story.



3. Good Night, Gorilla by Peggy Rathmann
The zookeeper thinks he has put all the animals to bed and heads for home. But readers and listeners alike know a secret… the animals have all followed him home. Imagine the surprise of the zookeeper’s wife when these furry guests climb into her bed. 



4. Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type by Doreen Cronin, illustrated by Betsy Lewin
Farmer Brown has a problem. His cows have gotten hold of a typewriter and insist upon typing him notes that make unreasonable requests. When the hens join in the typing, Farmer Brown just doesn’t know what to do.  Not to worry, though, Duck will come to the rescue…or will he?



5. Pigs Aplenty, Pigs Galore by David McPhail
Imagine your surprise if you suddenly found your quiet home (or Frick Park) overrun with pigs—lots and lots of pigs. Children will delight in the mayhem caused by the rowdy porkers.



6. So Much by Trish Cooke, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
Full of the repetitive and cumulative text that children adore, this book tells the story of a day in the life of a baby that is loved “so much.”
