The Little Old Lady Who Was Not Afraid of Anything

We first got this book as a gift from my sister-in-law and her family (thanks, Cindy!), and to be honest, I wasn't crazy about it at first. The reason it merits a spot on the blog is that my son, James, LOVES this story. He can just about recite it from memory, word for word, and often does.

It's a great book for toddlers because of its use of repetition. There's also a fun "twist" ending. The jack o' lantern pumpkin head, which features in the story and on the cover, make it a good Halloween/Fall book, but it can be enjoyed year-round.
