Llama Llama Red Pajama by Anna Dewdney -- This is a lovely rhyming book for when the kitchen seems as far away as Pluto to a child alone in bed. Just because Mama is busy in the other room doesn't mean that she doesn't love you or that she won't come back!
Llama Llama and the Bully Goat by Anna Dewdney -- This is a story of learning to play nice and learning to get an adult when someone isn't playing nice. I love the personality in the colorful, heavily textured illustrations and intriguingly, if you compare the illustrations in this book with Llama Llama Red Pajama you'll notice the characters are very similar in style but the media is very different...I love the heavy canvas texture when you really study the illustrations!
Bear about Town / Oso en la ciudad by Stella Blackstone and Debbie Harter, A Barefoot Spanish & English Bilingual Book -- This is a story for learning your days of the week and the names of places in whichever language, but it was the illustrations that pulled me to it, vividly colorful, at a distance feeling a bit like they are that flat, blocky 2-D computer-style but actually full of pattern and texture.
Olive, the other Reindeer by J. Otto Seibold and Vivian Walsh -- This is a Christmas story about finding a new, unexpected calling in life that lets one take advantage of one's natural skills and is pure eye-candy from a modern, computer-graphic design standpoint. I love the cover design with the dangling dog smack in the middle of the title and the illustrations themselves have an adorable, funky, misshapen wonkiness to them.
