pickPicture book. The composition and sketched design of this book helps to create a warm atmosphere in the bears' home. The wooden backgrounds behind the pages make the book seem vintage, a callback to the classic tale of a child finding a wild animal and attempting to keep it as a pet. This witty book follows a bear and her newly found pet, a human boy.
This book would be excellent when working on the phonological skill of rhyming, as all Mo Willems books are. This book, in particular, has themes of responsibility, temptation, forgiveness, and the joy of sharing.
pickThis picture book was published in 2016 and is about Nannette's journey in getting a delicious warm baquette per her mother's request. Nanette wanted to make her mother proud, but the temptation of the bread became overpowering, and Nanette ate the whole thing. The story is supported through pictures that show Nannette's changing emotions of delight to guilt. The illustrator also enhances humor through funny sequences and formatting of the words.
so-soMy least favorite book from Phoebe Wahl. This is about Sonya and her chickens. She did lose a chick and had to bury her but took care of the rest of the chickens so no other ones would die. Graphics were good. I just couldn't get into the story.
The kid wanted to play with the books and I told okay as long as he put them back. And he did. In his own way.
