Owl at Home by the late Arnold Lobel recounts the adventures of Owl in five gentle chapters. In the first, he invites Winter in to get warm by the fire, only to find out just how rude Winter can be. The second chapter concerns "strange bumps" at the foot of Owl's bed that disappear mysteriously when he looks under the covers. In the third chapter, Owl concocts tearwater tea by thinking of sad things and collecting the tears in a kettle, while in the fourth, he tries to be upstairs and downstairs at the same time. In the final chapter, Owl must discourage the moon from following him home, as sad as it is to part from a friend.

nayrt but here's a sample from oh the places you'll go. good night moon i also comfy and similar in text to image ratio. i've read both to kids while babysitting and it's usually a positive response.

i recommend you check out some parenting forums as they have a much better sense of titles to recommend per reading level.

Can't really help you with this OP. However, when your niece gets a little older, like 4 perhaps, read her Smith of Wooton Major and Farmer Giles of Ham. I've heard Roverrandum is a great child's book too, but I've never read it.

I read most of them, and have bought about 15-20 for my children. The quality varies a great deal as I reread them.
