Forever Young by Bob Dylan

Of course, I'm way too young to remember the release of Planet Waves but what parent can't help but relate to the words of Dylan's Forever Young. Told in a classical story book format, reader and listener can find their own stories within each illustration (and, if you look closely, grown-ups may even, with the help of the Illustrator's Notes in the back of the book, find references to other Dylan classics). This book is another great introduction to a musical genre. 40 pages.

Duck! Rabbit! by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld

Duck! Rabbit! has become the great debate in our house.  Authors Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Tom Lichtenheld apply narrative to the classic optical illusion of a duck (or is it a rabbit) to cheerfully explain why the image is a duck (or rabbit).  In applying attributes to the image, the story draws upon the curiosity of the young who are still exploring the connections between a picture and what it portrays.  But, most of all, this is a very fun read.  And, without a doubt, it will cause some debate among the reader and listener.  I, for one, am convinced it is a duck while my daughter is convinced it is a rabbit.  Don't forget to look for the zebra on the back!
