Favorite board books

Two of my favorite board books are illustrated by Charles Fuge. I love Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball, which follows Little Wombat's delightful antics throughout his day, ending with him curling up to sleep next to his mommy. The rhyming text for this book was written by Vicki Churchill and is a lot of fun. Unfortunately, the sequels were both written and illustrated by Charles Fuge and are not much fun to read, although the pictures of Little Wombat are still cute.

Charles Fuge did a better job when he wrote the book I Know a Rhino, a fanciful story of a little girl and all her marvelous animal friends, who turn out to be the stuffed animals that she sleeps with. Cute and fun to read.
