Gallop

Gallop by Rufus Butler Seder

Porter just received this book for his birthday and it is very, very cool. Through a six-phase animation process, the animals give the illusion of movement. The rhyming text is full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo!

Freight Train

Freight Train by Donald Crews

This book is one of Porter's favorites, and one of the first books he's began to memorize. The book goes over the colors of the different train cars... "red caboose at the back, orange tank car next... yellow hopper car... blue cable car......" and goes through the trains trips "going through tunnels, crossing trestles". Porter loves this simple book and loves to "read" it to me.
