Title: The Missing Chick
"Mother Hen and her chicks were hanging up the laundry..." and what happens next? Oh, no, one of Mother Hen's chicks is missing! She looks everywhere for the missing chick but can't find him anywhere. Neighbor Goat, neighbor Sheep, and neighbor Pig all look for him too, but he is no where to be found. The police come, the firemen come, the detectives come, but no one can find the missing chick. Is the missing chick ever found? Must Mother Hen continue on with only 6 chicks? Read this adorable book to find out the answer. Cute illustrations and adorable characters make this a must-read.

Title: How to Heal a Broken Wing
This is very sweet book about a young child who finds a bird with a broken wing. He is the only one who notices this poor bird lying on the ground after it hits a window. There are several people walking all around -- but no one looks down to find this bird, except Will. He takes it home and with tender love, care, and time, the bird is able to fly again. This is such an endearing story. When the bird is able to fly, Will lets it go. This story is told with many pictures, and not too much dialog. It is a beautiful story. Loved it.

Title: Missing Mittens
Every animal on Farmer Bill's farm is missing one mitten! Children can investigate odd and even numbers as they unravel the missing mittens mystery! The illustrations in this book are funny and cute. There is one picture of Farmer Bill's cow, and she is wearing her on her UDDER! This book is an easy MathStart level 1 book. In MathStart books, pictures do more than tell stories, they teach math. This is a wonderful concept and a great book.

Very Cute Kindergarten Book

Although kindergarten provides unique challenges for a young buffalo, one who follows the rules and tries his best will get along fine. We read this book for our recent kindergarten party and the kids just loved it. They found it very funny and cute. I would highly recommend it to anyone going back to school.
