She also seemed sad when she realized these books weren&#8217;t coming back.  Though when I told her Miss Rachel had a cat puppet over by the story room, her sadness disappeared in cries of &#8220;Kitty!&#8221;  The short attention span can certainly be a beneficial feature of the toddler.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I Know a Rhino<\/strong> is a book of simple rhymes about a girl playing with animals she knows.  The girl has tea with a rhino, dances with an ape, plays dress-up with a leopard, bathes with a giraffe and so on.  The book ends with the little girl asleep with a pile of stuffed animals who are her animal friends from the rhymes.  The nice rhyming pace and illustrations of everyday toddler fun make this a good one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clip-Clop <\/strong>features a horse offering rides to four other barnyard friends.  The horse goes faster and faster making a clippity cloppity sound until the animals on his back start to fall off.  When Mr. Horse makes a sudden stop, the animals fly over his head into a hay stack.  Mr. Horse is concerned for his friends, but when they all yell, &#8220;AGAIN!&#8221; he knows that all is well.  Ezri also said &#8220;again&#8221; for the reading of this book.  I bounced her on my lap during the horse&#8217;s ride which added to the fun.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2010\/10\/library.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2010\/10\/library-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"library\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-1673\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2010\/10\/library-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/blog.ezriblau.com\/2010\/10\/library-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t believe it has been about a year since I left my job at the Downers Grove library, but I am still there every week with Ezri.
