Picture Books
by Patricia Polacco
This book has been a favorite in our home for many
years. It is a perfect book to read during those
frequent summer thunderstorms since it deals with
overcoming fear of thunder. An added bonus if you
like to bake with your child, is the Thunder Cake
recipe. It is delicious! Highly recommended by
Rachel and Sarah.

by David McPhail
A forest bear finds himself lost in the big city
and seeks the help of a young boy to find his
way home. Once the boy gets the bear home,
he discovers he now needs help getting home
himself. McPhail's illustrations are always
delightful and perfectly express the emotions
of the bear and boy. The book also expresses
the often mixed emotions of the kindergarner
as he explores independence.
Recommended by Sarah.
