Funny and Heartwarming Books

Limelight Larry and The Three Billy Goats Fluff are two Tiger Tales books we are enjoying reading these days.

In Limelight Larry, a vain peacock wants to star solo in his book, but keeps getting joined by more and more friends.  Initially upset by their presence, Larry finally realizes that company is a pretty good thing.

While I found Limelight Larry amusing and enjoyed the illustrations - especially the full page spread of Larry Peacock - I loved The Three Billy Goats Fluff.  Considering how often I've had to reread The Three Billy Goats Fluff, I'd say it's a favorite of the kids too.

The Three Billy Goats Fluff is a fractured fairytale telling the story of how the three billy goats fluff befriend the troll.  I love this story.  It is up there with Fox in the Dark and The Best Pet Ever as my Tiger Tales All Time Favorites. I love how the notes from the troll rhyme, how the mother comes up with an ingenious plan to quiet the trip-trapping hooves, and how the illustrator used bright, cheerful colors.  I love reading the troll parts in a big scary voice:)

What funny or heartwarming book have you read to your child lately?
