Eye Guess:
A Forest Animal Guessing Game
Phyllis Limbacher Tildes  

Eye Guess begins with a picture showing a giant eye, some feathers, and a bit of a beak. Readers are given a clue and asked to guess what the animal is. The next page provides the answer and a complete drawing of a duck. The pattern continues as Eye Guess features seven animals common to the woods and waterways of Minnesota and similar environments. I would love to share this book with all the toddlers I know!

Big Bear Feet
Kevin Lovegreen, illustrated by Margarita Sikorskaia

Big Bear Feet is part of the Lucky Luke's Adventures series and is inspired by the author's and his family's experiences. The story takes place in northern Minnesota, where Luke is bear hunting with his dad, sister, and friends. The adventure highlights the importance of preparation, safety, awareness of nature, and the pros and cons of hunting. It also captures the fun of spending time with friends and family. The short chapters, accompanied by a few photos and illustrations, make Big Bear Feet an excellent choice for readers new to chapter books.
