READ IN BOOK BABIES

Written by Linda Urban
Illustrated by Henry Cole
Harcourt Children's Books, 2009.  Picture Book.

Mouse was not having a good day.  He was really mad, and being mad made him want to hop like a hare.  Hare showed him how to hop properly, but then mouse fell into the mud.  Now he was even more mad.  As mad as a bear!  But when he stomped like a bear, he fell in the mud again.  Over and over he gets even more upset, until all he can do is stand still...and breathe deeply.  Urban's simple text and Cole's bright watercolor, colored pencil, and ink illustrations combine to create a fun story to help children learn to control angry feelings.

Bird woke up on the wrong side of the nest.  "He was too grumpy to eat.  He was too grumpy to play.  In fact, he was too grumpy to fly."  So he decided to walk.  As he encounters each of his friends, they want to walk with him too, which makes Bird even grumpier.  But when they all copy Bird stopping, standing on one leg, and jumping, he realizes that he is actually...could it be?  Having FUN!  Bold ink and digital media art complements this humorous story about the kind of day that even your toddler can identify with!

George is a dog.  A very cute little dog.  But when George's mother says, "Bark, George!" he certainly does not sound like a dog!  George can meow, arf, quack, and moo, but he simply cannot bark so George's mother takes him to the vet.  When the vet says, ""Bark, George!" you can guess the result.  But what the vet discovers is quite the surprise!  Delightfully simple illustrations and ample opportunity for exuberant animal noises make for an amusing and entertaining read aloud.

Review: Last One Picked

  Last One Picked By Audrey Meeker New York: Feiwel & Friends, 2026. Comic.  Annabeth has never been very athletic, but that doesn't matter. She is perfectly content to spend her time with her Warrior Princess books and volunteering at the library. When summer comes, her mom is convinced by their stuck up neighbor to send Annabeth to volleyball camp, the last place she would ever want to be. Not only does she feel completely out of her depth, her ex-best friend, Serena, is there- and she is not happy that Annabeth is infringing on her domain.

The illustrations were bright and colorful, and the story itself ...
