more picture books as the clouds send us showers

Just a couple more hours and I can head home (in the rain). It was lovely to have some time to just read a big stack of picture books and share them here.




When Bird is bonked on the head, no one is able to console him and stop his crying. Bright colors, bold black lines, and a sweet surprise ending combine to make this a perfect book to share with kids who often need help with their boo-boos (and maybe some grown ups, too). (Scholastic, 2009)




What's a penguin to do when he turns PINK? Patrick travels all the way to Africa and back to see if he can remedy his situation. (Scholastic, 2009)




Do you not LOVE the cover of this book? Bob and his best friend Jack are polar (pun intended) opposites. (Scholastic, 2009)




And while we are on the subject of animals, here are chicken and cat in another textless adventure. Sara Varon is also the author of ROBOT DREAMS. (Scholastic, 2009)
