Little Oink by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, illustrated by Jen Corace

PreK-2. Little Oink is very different from other pigs. He hates messes! He's a neat pig and just wishes he could be like his friends and clean his room instead of mess it up the way his parents insist that he do. Reminicent of Gregory, the Terrible Eater by Mitchell Sharmat and illustrated by Jose Aruego and Ariane Dewey, kids will enjoy reading this story about one very unpiglike pig!

This would make a good storytime selection, especially when paired with Gregory. This book could be used in many ways as the pictures offer a lot in the way of discussion and is sure to be a crowd-pleaser on account of its humor!

Mouse Cleaning by Rose-Marie Provencher, illustrated by Bernadette Pons

PreK-2. Grandma Twilley ends up getting her spring cleaning done when she finds a mouse in her house and invents clever ways to chase it out. This would be a great storytime read as the mouse is hiding in the illustrations on each page and it would be a fun kid challenge to find the mouse in each picture.
