Thank You Bear
by Greg Foley
Bear has
found a box, and he's pretty sure it's the greatest thing
ever. But on his way to show a friend, a few passing
naysayers discourage him in his find. Will Bear's box
turn out to be rather important, despite what people say?
This sweet picture book reminds us to keep an open mind about
things, even if they look like trash. |

Around the Table that Grandad Built
by Anne Hunter
It takes a whole family - or more - to put together a meal like
this! In a unique take on the cumulative classic "This
Is the House That Jack Built," a family gathers with friends
and neighbors to share a meal around a table that brims with
associations: napkins sewn by Mom, silverware from Dad's
grandma, squash from the neighbor's garden. One might think
food tastes better when it's shared! |
