“Make it a rule never to give a child a book you would not read yourself.”
— George Bernard Shaw
The King of Kindergarten
This book is fun, fun, fun! The non-rhyming, but still rhythmic text is a blast to read aloud, and the illustrations are crazy clever and full of joy!
The story is narrated as if from a parent to a child on his first day of kindergarten. It describes the how the child’s day will progress, from waking and brushing his “Royal Chiclets” to sharing pudding with a new friend, to riding the “big yellow carriage” home at the end of the day.
Dandy
Daddy Lion discovers a weed in his perfectly coifed suburban front lawn and he knows what he must do. He rushes to get his clippers, but when he gets outside to the offending plant…he’s too late. His toddler daughter Sweetie is already there and has befriended the weed, even naming her Charlotte.
