Top 20 Children’s Books of 2011
Looking for a book to read with the kids? Start with our new faves for kids of all ages, including the latest from Mo Willems and the Peanuts gang. — Melissa Taylor
Wow, a board book with sturdy flaps to lift and illustrations worthy of an art gallery! I’m a huge fan of Dwell Studio’s modern style and love this jungle book of morning salutations. Young children will delight in lifting the flaps to see which animal hides beneath.
Get it from Amazon, $8.99

The story is so cute and the artwork is adorable. My husband and I read it on the subway home before the baby came and we chuckled the whole time!
