THE LITTLEST ELEPHANT - KATE READ
The littlest elephant is always in a rush, and it takes a tiny mouse to show her how to slow down and notice the other jungle creatures in this funny, colourful story from Kate Read, creator of the multi-award-winning One Fox . The bright and richly illustrated pages full of jungle creatures from a chameleon to a tiger will entrance any child as they follow the littlest elephant on her way to the pool for a swim. At first she is too excited to notice the chaos she is causing, but then she realizes that by slowing down and helping others, everyone can join in the fun. A beautiful and humorous book about learning empathy for others and helping those who may need it. |
SING, DON'T CRY - ANGELA DOMINGUEZ
Once a year, Abuelo comes from Mexico to visit his family. He brings his guitar, his music---and his memories. In this story inspired by the life of Apolinar Navarrete Diaz---author Angela Dominguez's grandfather and a successful mariachi musician---Abuelo and his grandchildren sing through the bad times and the good. Lifting their voices and their spirits, they realize that true happiness comes from singing together. |
PICK A PUMPKIN - PATRICIA TOHT
Pairing a wonderfully rhythmic read-aloud text with expressive retro illustrations, author Patricia Toht and illustrator Jarvis capture all the excitement and familial feeling of a favorite holiday tradition. Readers will be happy to follow along with each step, from picking out the perfect specimen at the pumpkin patch (be sure to stop for cider and toffee apples) to carting it home, scooping out the insides, carving a scary face, and finally lighting a candle inside -- savoring the familiar ritual of transforming an ordinary pumpkin into a one-of-a-kind glowing jack-o'-lantern. |
