A Month of Animal Books by Caldecott Honor Winner, Steve Jenkins
We are ringing in September over at the [Virtual] Family Book Club at My Little Poppies with one of my favorite children’s authors and illustrators, Steve Jenkins. My children have loved his books for years. The illustrations are beyond beautiful and the books are chock-full of animal facts so they are super educational. We love his books so much that when Seuss was born, I actually made my own audiobook ofĀ What Do You Do With A Tail Like This? because I just couldn’t keep up. That homemade audiobook is still one of my children’s favorites!

Thank you so much for putting together this list! I just bought way too many of them. Excited for my boy to get these in his hands. š
Thank you for the awesome book review! The illustrations for these books by Steve Jenkins are amazing. I wonder if early readers can make an audiobook in their own voice. That may be our next project. š
THAT is an AMAZING idea!
Thank you for this list as well as all of your suggestions!
