2. Little Blue Truck board book
Beep! Beep! Beep! Meet Blue. A muddy country road is no match for this little pick up–that is, until he gets stuck while pushing a dump truck out of the muck. Luckily, Blue has made a pack of farm animal friends along his route. And they’re willing to do whatever it takes to get their pal back on the road.
Filled with truck sounds and animals noises, here is a rollicking homage to the power of friendship and the rewards of helping others.

6. Chunky Safari Lion 
All books in Barron’s Chunky Safari series stand right up on their feet and do double duty as story books and toys. When closed, they’re shaped like wild animals, and have amusing faces and button eyes that roll and wiggle.
When kids open the extra-thick board pages of these books they find an entertaining little animal story in easy to understand words, with full-color illustrations on every page. Preschool kids will love these books. When they’ve finished this story, they can close the covers and use the lion to create stories of their own.
7. Pumpkin Patch Party
What could be more fun than a party on Halloween night with the Sesame Street gang?
Toddlers can lift the flaps to see what suprises the pumpkim patch holds – a dancing scarecrow, a spooky moon, and a ghost with a strong resemblance to … Big Bird!
