Yo ho, let's go... and read some more pirate books like How I Became a Pirate or Brett Helquist's Roger, the Jolly Pirate.

For Umizoomi-style fun with counting, try Count, Dagmar by J.otto Seibold and Dog Loves Counting by Louise Yates.

A couple of other knightly options: Mercer Mayer's The Bravest Knight and Owen Davey's Night Knight.

Emily Brown is almost as skilled as Doc when it comes to helping toys.

For another example of friendship between a girl and her stuffed animals, check out Monkey and Me by Emily Gravett.

If you have a daughter who loves applying bandaids and making casts, you could read her Who Says Women Can't Be Doctors?: The Story of Elizabeth Blackwell by Tanya Lee Stone and Marjorie Priceman.

Two more roar-some books for monster fanatics: Mo Willems' Leonardo the Terrible Monster and Annie Bach's Monster Party.

Check out Elecopter by Michael Slack for more vehicular jungle hijinks.

Two more cute stories that have to do with Chinese culture: Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas and The Dinner That Cooked Itself.

Chugga-chugga-chugga your way to the library for these other train picture books: Jason Carter Eaton's How to Train a Train and All Aboard by Rebecca Kai Dotlich and Mike Lowery.

Is your petite detective looking for even more mysteries to solve? Try The Mystery Hat or Richard Scarry's The Great Pie Robbery and Other Mysteries.

Want some more fun retellings of classic fairy tales or nursery rhymes? We've got you covered: try Goldilocks and Just One Bear and Other Goose: Re-Nurseried and Re-Rhymed Children's Classics.

An animated version of Peanut Butter & Cupcake would fit right in on a "Friendship" themed episode of Yo Gabba Gabba and Lost Sloth by J. Otto Seibold is an incredibly fun book with a Gabba-esque tone. Get 'em!

Animal lovers like Diego are also bound to enjoy Just Ducks and Hippos Can't Swim (And Other Fun Facts).

Sadly these books don't feature Borgelorp or Bobgoblin, but they're still swell - Al Pha's Bet for more fun with words (in a way Wally would appreciate) and Giant Dance Party for grooving Gina-style.

For more eccentric adventures with imaginative girls, seek out Agnes Rosenstiehl's Silly Lilly in What Will I Be Today? and Sleep Tight, Anna Banana! by Dominique Roques and Alexis Dormal.

Of course you should also buy copies of the books the show is based on: Olivia, Olivia and the Missing Toy, Olivia Saves the Circus, Olivia Helps with Christmas, Olivia Forms a Band, Olivia and the Fairy Princesses, and Olivia Goes to Venice (all by Ian Falconer).

Add to your own science kid's library and purchase A Drop of Blood and Tiny Creatures: The World of Microbes.

I don't think that there are any actual Thinga-ma-jiggers on the market, but Rainbows Never End and Other Fun Facts by Laura Lyn DiSiena, Hannah Eliot, and Pete Oswald is definitely available for purchase. Soon you'll know a lot about "that" (just like the Cat).

(It goes without saying that you should add the original The Cat in the Hat books to your family's library - you need your Dr. Seuss.)

Another option for any kid who dreams of being enrolled in Manny's School for Tools: Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts.

Yippee-i-oh-ki-ay! There's even more western fun to be had with A Night on the Range by Aaron Frisch and Chris Sheban.

LeUyen Pham's Big Sister, Little Sister and Trixie Ten by Sarah Massino are two other fine books dealing with sibling relationships (along with the original Max and Ruby books by Rosemary Wells).

Fun books involving math + your kid = a great bedtime story session.

Julius loves to invent things and so do the kids in these books: If I Built a Car (another Chris Van Dusen book, like the one above) and The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires.

Like Steve Zissou, the Octonauts were obviously inspired by Jacques Cousteau.

For more under the sea adventuring, look for: The Bear's Sea Escape and Matthias Picard's Jim Curious: A Voyage to the Heart of the Sea in 3-D.

Plus - the adorably illustrated actual Octonauts books.

Looking for some more anthropomorphism fun in the forest? Yeah you are. Take a gander at the classic books about Frances the badger by Russell and Lillian Hoban.

If you're looking for a book with a curly tailed protagonist, check out the Poppleton series by Cynthia Rylant and Mark Teague.

If your son or daughter enjoys watching the dogs of PAW Patrol save the day, he or she would definitely love to listen to you read The Rescuers by Margery Sharp. It's the book the classic Disney film is based on and it's funny *and* exciting.

If you're simply looking for some cute books featuring canine characters, you may be interested in Emily Gravett's Dogs or David Ezra Stein's I'm My Own Dog.

There are a million reasons why Sesame Street is awesome, but one of them just so happens to be that it takes place in the city: there aren't a ton of shows for kids that take place outside of the suburbs. Count On The Subway is a charming city-set book, and so is Tap Tap Boom Boom by Elizabeth Bluemle and G. Brian Karas.

If you have a fairy-in-training like Abby Cadabby on your hands, you may want to purchase Alice the Fairy by David Shannon.

For more fun with time (tic toc, tic toc) you should purchase: The Grouchy Ladybug and What's the Time, Mr Wolf.

Like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, the following books focus on feelings and emotions in enjoyable ways: Tad Carpenter's I Say, You Say: Feelings, Chris Raschka's Clammy Clam, and The Quarreling Book by Charlotte Zolotow and Arnold Lobel.

Beatrix Potter is the queen of the whole adorable-animals-livin'-their-lives genre, and if your kids love the new Peter Rabbit show you should definitely read them her books... but an animal lover can't survive on Beatrix Potter alone! By no means. Buy this treasury, but supplement it with Houndsley and Catina and Adventures with Barefoot Critters.

On his show, Special Agent Oso helps kids learn how to do things with "three special steps" - this sweet book by Chris Raschka is just as merrily instructional.

Zack and Quack live in a pop-up book world and these are excellent pop-up books: Under the Ocean and Alpha Bugs.

Bubble Guppies is a treat because it allows kids who haven't even started school yet to see what it will be like when they eventually go (minus the whole under the water aspect) - here are some more awesome school-related books: Follow the Line to School, Maisy Goes to Preschool, and B. Bear and Lolly: Off to School.
