The Rooster Crows
Picture book · ages 3–7 · 1998
A 1945 Caldecott winner that holds up — pure onomatopoeia and regional American animal sounds, illustrated with warmth; kids love the repetition and the Petershams' art rewards close looking.
An American ABC
Picture book · ages 3–7
A gentle, beautifully illustrated ABC that roots alphabet learning in American heritage and early-20th-century Americana; understated and genuinely nostalgic without being saccharine.
