This classic portrayal of a young boy who's less than happy with his baby sister's arrival is full of charm and wit. As Peter's furniture is being painted pink for his new baby sis, he makes a getaway with the last piece of blue furniture—but has a breakthrough. So will your child!

Oh, how Peter wishes he could whistle for his dog, Willie. He tries and tries, but nothing comes out. So he keeps practicing as he goes about his day playing hopscotch, walking on cracks in the sidewalk, dressing up like his dad...until he succeeds. Now that's lip service!

by Ruth Krauss
A little boy plants a carrot seed and waits for it to grow. All kinds of skeptics come by but he stands his ground and tends his plant. And his patience pays off BIG-time. Simple drawings by Ruth Krauss' husband, Crockett Johnson (of Harold and the Purple Crayon fame), capture the boy's quiet sincerity.

Sylvester is a donkey who finds a magic pebble that grants wishes. When he runs to show his parents, he bumps into a hungry lion—and wishes himself into a rock. Uh-oh. But eventually, luck, love, and magic prevail. As the story reminds both child and parent, our families are much more important than any want we might wish for.
