Little White Rabbit responds as readers and listeners carry out actions suggested by the narration. A tap on the shoulder makes him turn around, while clapping prompts him to put on pajamas. The sequence gradually leads to bed, where the rabbit still needs a good-night kiss and the light switched off. The final scene shows him asleep, making the book’s participation part of the journey toward nighttime rest.

Dario and the WhaleCheryl Lawton Malone, illustrated by Bistra MassevaDario moves with his mother to a beach town for seasonal work, while a right whale and her calf arrive in the same bay. Dario has difficulty making friends because he does not speak English well. His experiences on the beach echo the young whale’s movements: Dario flies a kite, bumps into someone, and runs along the shore, while the whale chases fish, encounters a sea turtle, and leaps from the water. The boy and whale eventually see one another and look for each other until the whales migrate away.Picture Books for Babies, Toddlers, and PreschoolersLexile Text Measure AD420LATOS Book Level 1.8On the same reading list for the same age or grade groupView book details
