The Deer in the Wood by Laura Ingalls Wilder

You know, I’m torn. I like the illustrations, but I don’t think this is the story I would have chosen to focus on.  I know a lot of families that would be disturbed by the focus on guns & hunting in the book. When I’m choosing picture books for my kids, I  don’t those to be the focus.

Ladybug Girl at the Beach by David Soman and Jacky Davis

I love this series of books! The pictures are wonderful and I love the way Lulu entertains herself & overcomes her fears. It rings very true to me.
