Suki and Sam

by Dr. Lisa Marotta

"Touching and memorable, this lovely story offers a way for children and parents to deal with the loss of a beloved pet. The evocative illustrations partnered with a simple, sweet narrative brought me to tears--in a good way. SUKI AND SAM will help youngsters (and young-at-heart grown ups) to bring furry color back into their world. Highly recommended!"

 Beautifully written, and beautifully illustrated.

Down on the Ranch

by Nancy Pyle

"An unusual counting story, perfect for preschool readers and younger, set on a colorful, western ranch setting, perhaps in the neighborhood of Oklahoma. Children will love repeating the rhythmic counting leading to the final scene of all the animals, Grandpa and Grandma, followed by the three trusty tractors and two soft calico cats. "Down On the Ranch" is a young children's classic.

"A delightful story of love, dedication, and breakfast. This is a fun book for adults to read to children with a subtle message of the importance of caring and concern. It is also fun to look at with Kara Mitchell’s delicious illustrations of an array of yummy breakfast food.

Have always loved the poem! Love that it is now in book form for teachers to share with parents and parents to read and reread as a reminder of the importance of play.

Mila Denton is an April Fool!

by Sandra Byrd Lawson

Mila Denton is a little bit Junie B. and a little bit Arthur.  Her colorful vocabulary makes this series an excellent choice for teaching figurative language.  And students will be so caught up in the story they won’t mind the lesson.  And what kid doesn’t like a good April Fool prank!

P.S. My students loved Mila Denton’s Worst Week Ever!
