Which of the above books are the birthday gifts for my 2-year old niece?

(You know what the exciting part about pre-ordering books is? That when you have the memory span of a turnip like I do, you forget that you added other books to the order so you could get the free shipping and therefore when they show up you're all excited that you have an extra book like, The Second Virginity of Suzy Green in the box! Woohoo! This makes up for the fact that you were frustrated when you couldn't think of the title or author of that exact same book the last two times you were at the library. All you could remember was the cover, but you can't look a book up by COVER in the library! They just don't work that way. And then you're also excited that you finally have the latest Rachel Caine Weather Warden book since you likely forgot you had pre-ordered that one as well!)

(Gah! I suddenly have too many books in my TBR pile! Not only did I get those 5 from the library on Monday, I got my review copy of Bubblegum Wishes on Monday AND today along with my amazon order, I got my second review copy from Mini Book Expo (Ms. Hemple Chronicles by Sarah Shun-Lien Bynum) I don't think I have ever had this many books waiting to be read at once in a long time!)
