Winnie the Pooh's Bedtime Stories

by Bruce Talkington Illustrated by John Kurtz

A Knight to Remember

Piglet overcomes his fear when tasked to save Princess Kanga and enjoy life in the his adventures. This fantasy picturebook and a poem is filled with bright and warm colors and it rhymes. It teaches children to overcome their fears and dream big. But much to his surprise she was in no fright, friendships made. You will never how someone is until you take a closer look.

"Piglet fact:

Did you know that Winnie the Pooh remains to be something of a taboo in some countries? Pigs are considered unclean by the Islamic faith and Muslims are prohibited from consuming Pork. As a result, Piglet and the Winnie the Pooh stories are considered offensive to some members of the Islamic community (http://www.just-pooh.com/stories.html)."

The Wheels on the School Bus

by Mary-Al;ice Moore and illustrated by Laura Huliska-Beith

This is a rhyming poem and picturebook that is aimed at teaching children to get excited about learning. I believe this poetry book teach the importance of learning, thinking, reading, being active, and household chores. I believe the purpose is to pass-down the importance of gathering new information to learning. This book is very informative and make learning fun!
