Ducks dancing on a Friday night

A great take on the three bears!
For old Mo Willems fans (& new!) this is a great take on the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. I used this as a companion to the original during story time and it was a huge hit! Fun for parents AND kids.
Clever book about a town where everything revolves around ten

Great fun to read aloud to the whole family!
Give it your all!
This fourth "Pete the Cat" book brings us another inspiring and uplifting message about positivity. In this wonderful book the song we sing is "give it your all". This is the perfect refrain to match the annual season of giving. Pete the Cat has to take the place of Santa. We know he can do it! As he sings his song (and keeps moving along) readers of all ages are reminded to be sharing, giving people who go the extra mile! (Funny truth: Eric Litwin says he has joined the annals of Jewish authors who have created Christmas offerings. Yippee for all of us!)
A fun book about finding a home!
This charming book begins with the nursery rhyme, "Once there was a crooked man" and then takes it from there on a rollicking adventure. There are different repetitions which are great for read aloud. Ultimately, the crooked house finds a place to fit in. Nice book!

Nighttime adventures
