We had a lot of fun with these letter Q books for preschoolers.
The Queen’s Feet, by Sarah Ellis
This is such a fun story about a queen whose feet just won’t behave. They never want to wear dignified shoes, and they won’t be still during important meetings. The final straw is when they kick the ankle of an obnoxious visiting monarch. Hard. An entertaining story with a satisfying ending!
Quick, Quack, Quick! by Marsha Arnold
“Quick, Quack, Quick!” says the mother duck to her duckling who is always lagging behind the rest of the family. All of us with a child who “putzes” will sympathize with Quack’s mother… and smile at the ending when Quack’s pace proves to be the very thing that saves his family.
The Quiltmaker’s Gift, by Jeff Brumbea
If you read just one book from this letter Q book list, make it this one. This is a long book, but it’s an amazing story that both my preschoolers and I enjoy. It’s a story about a king who has everything money can buy; he has rooms filled to the ceiling with gifts from his subjects. But it’s never enough. Now he wants one of the breathtaking quilts sewn by the talented quiltmaker. But her quilts are not for sale; they are given only to the needy.
The king threatens the woman’s life until he finally agrees to her terms: for every gift he gives away, she’ll sew a new patch on his quilt. This is an extraordinary story that you must see for yourself. I love, love, love this book!
If I Were Queen of the World, by
This is a simple, gentle story about a little girl who knows just how things would be if she were queen of the world. I love how she always includes her little brother.
(Even though she’d have a hundred lollipops a day and never have to share , she’d give him a lick or two.)
Giggle, Giggle, Quack, by Doreen Cronin
From the creator of the popular Click Clack Moo: Cows That Type, this book follows what happens when Farmer Brown goes on vacation and leaves the farm to his unsuspecting brother, Bob. From hot pizza in the barn to bubble paths for the pigs, Duck fools Bob into giving the animals exactly what they’d like.
Quack! by Phyllis Root
This very simple rhyming book is perfect for young listeners. My Two loved it.
Little Quack, by Lauren Thompson
Little Quack and his siblings are nervous because today is the day they learn to swim. Finally, at the end of the story, Little Quack musters enough courage to jump in the pond. “I always knew you could,” Mama said. A little too cutesy for my taste, but my Two and almost-Four requested it many times.
The Queen with the Bees in Her Hair, by Cheryl Harness
At first glance, I wasn’t sure this we would enjoy this book – but it’s such a great story! Vain Queen Ruby loves to wear flowers in her hair. When these attract birds and bees, she banishes the creatures to the adjoining kingdom. But when spring comes again, there are no flowers. There are no bees to pollinate them and no birds to eat the harmful insects. The book has a wonderfully satisfying ending.

A young boy describes himself as “loud as a lion,” “quiet as a clam,” “tough as a rhino,” and “gentle as a lamb.” Readers will delight in the variety of animal expressions. Together you can discover many different emotions, and learn to accept that all feelings are valid.
7. Quiet Bunny
More than anything, Quiet Bunny loves the sounds of the forest: the birds chirping, the wind whispering shhhhh through the leaves, and, especially, the night song all the rabbits listen to. But, one day, he wonders: how can I join in? Bunny wanders the woods asking animal after animal—but he just can’t ch-cheet like the cricket, ssssss like the hissing snake, or o-uuuu like the howling wolves.

Carl Waldemar Jussi Henry Adler-Olsen, this is exactly what the full name of the writer sounds like, was born on August 2, 1950 in Copenhagen in the family of a chief psychiatrist. There are not many details about his childhood years. He is known to have been a Boy Scout and played guitar in pop bands during his school days.
Jussi Adler-Olsen has a rich professional background and a wide range of interests, as he echoed his father, who studied all his life for pleasure and also taught his son. Jussi studied political science, medicine, was educated in cinema and sociology, tried himself in many professions. nine0036
At various times he worked in international sales of publishing rights, worked in an antique shop for comics, and while studying film directing, Jussi Adler-Olsen wrote screenplays for Walter Lantz and Disney in Denmark and the Netherlands.
For several years he worked as an editor and proofreader for magazines and comics, and later as a publisher. He was also noted as a composer, writing the soundtrack for the cartoon "Valhalla", based on the comic book series of the same name. Worked on television.
Jussi Adler-Olsen married while still a student, and he and his wife moved frequently. “We lived in 16 different houses, I rebuilt each of them, so for almost 35 years we lived in renovation dust,” Adler-Olsen jokes. The couple have been together for over 50 years. nine0036
When Jussi Olsen was 45 years old, he had been working as a top manager in a large publishing holding for several years, but one day he caught himself thinking that such a stressful job literally drives his colleagues to the grave.

And she supported her husband.

The writer's career began with The House of the Alphabet, a thriller about two pilots who feign insanity and end up in a psychiatric hospital, hoping to stay there until the end of World War II. The novel turned out to be very successful, critics noted with what knowledge of the matter Jussi Olsen described the characters and the emotional state of the characters who ended up in a psychiatric hospital. In an interview, the writer said that he was greatly helped by the experience of his father, a psychiatrist, and how often Jussi himself became an eyewitness to work in a hospital: “This, of course, had a great influence on me. My father's work gave me an idea about people with similar diseases and taught me to be skeptical about diagnosing mental diseases, ”said Jussi Adler-Olsen. nine0036

The task of the detective is, together with the team, to investigate cases that once thundered throughout the country, but have not been resolved. The novel “The Woman in a Cage” was the first to be published, and even then Adler-Olsen conceived that the cycle would consist of ten books and was systematically moving towards the goal. Nine out of ten novels have now been published.
