Those you of you who love/like children's literature

I have volunteered to go read to my daughters 4 year old preschool class and take a snack in February.  Can you rec a good cute short story that you think the kids would really love?  I initially thought "If You Give A Dog A Donut" was good because it has the easy snack option to go with it but, it doesn't have a very engaging story line.

Rec a good book you think the kids would like...please and thanks.  : )

"The very cranky bear"

"Have you seen my potty?"--this is a really cute story; my 4yo loves it, but some people may not like it since it's all about a potty. It's not gross and perfect for preschoolers.

"Chicka chicka boom boom"

We like the silly stories around here:  Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, Scaredy Squirrel, etc.  But for classic literature we love "The Lorax".... that's a little lengthy though?  If You Give a Dog a Donut is good too though (or any in that series)

This is the best story EVER!!!!!!  It is very rhymy and very fun to read.  Harm has it perfectly memorized b/c he makes me read it every day!

A cute snack idea might be something colorful like different color yogurts.

DS's current favorite is The Pout Pout Fish. So adorable! Curious George's First Day of School is also a good choice.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle, and you could bring one of the fruits from the story as the snack

The Monster at the End of This Book. My kid's preschool class loves this book and I read it to my guys every day. It is an iPad app, too and is fabulous.

I love the pigeon books by Mo Willems, if you're willing to get loud and silly when you read it
