\u00a0These are two of my very favorite picture books. Say Hello to Zorro <\/b><\/i>by Carter Goodrich<\/b> and Our Tree Named Steve<\/i><\/b> by Alan Zweibel.<\/b>

<\/b>Say Hello To Zorro<\/i> <\/b>is an adorable tale of two dogs much like my two dogs. <\/b>The relationship between the dogs is so realistic–anyone with dogs will enjoy the humour and of course my daughter Pippi (who loves dogs) loves this book too.<\/b><\/p>\n

Our Tree Named Steve<\/i><\/b> is a touching tale about family and nature. I am not a weepy person. I never have a good boo-hoo. But this little book blew me away. It is light and humorous and then, so unexpectedly, my heart was breaking. I actually had to cry when we finished reading it.<\/p>\n

Parents, treat yourself to these two<\/p>\n

picture books next bedtime. After reading
