Back into the Summer Reading Program!
Today is Sidekicks, and I was really happy with the trio of books for our Storytime this morning.
Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy
David Soman and Jacky Davis
ISBN: 9780803733398
Previously reviewed here. Excellent "sidekick" story, with great problem-solving.
Anna and the Little Green Dragon
Kalus Baumgart
ISBN: 1562821660
Short but sweet - Anna is at breakfast one morning when a tiny green dragon appears and causes messes and mayhem. Anna's mom blames her for the mess, until tiny dragon's mommy appears at the front door, politely looking for her missing son. Cute and lots of page-turn anticipation.
Officer Buckle and Gloria
Peggy Rathman
ISBN: 0399226168
I know I've read this before, but it isn't coming up in a search, so here goes.
Officer Buckle gives lots of safety lectures at Napville School, but the kids always fall asleep and never learn a thing - that is, until new Police Dog Gloria accompanies him. Even though every time he checks, she's sitting obediently by his side, the kids are mesmerized by his talks now, and he takes all the credit - until a TV crew spills the beans. A grumpy Buckle refuses to give the next safety talk, Gloria (being a dog) is useless on her own, and the Napville School is poised to suffer the biggest accident ever. A great book about partnership and about understanding your strengths and not being jealous of others.
