Animal stories, real and fantasy, are always fun reading.
Tuesday
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: David Wiesner
This is a true picture book with very little text. The story is told in the pictures.
It begins a 7:58 p.m. Tuesday evening on a pond filled with toads sitting on lily pads. Watch those lily pads carefully.
This is a fun book with a delightful ending.
Jackrabbit
5 stars
Author: Jonathon London
Illustrator: Deborah Kogan Ray
When developers bulldoze a house site, a little baby jackrabbit is left behind. She is adopted by a woman. This is the story of raising up and releasing this jackrabbit.
The illustrations capture the beauty and grace of a jackrabbit. They also show how the bond between the baby and the woman develops. This is a great book for those tempted to raise a wild orphan showing both the rewards and the heartbreak as the animal is turned loose.
Little Penguin Gets the Hiccups
5 stars
Author/Illustrator: Tadgh Bentley
The premise is fantasy as penguins don't have chili parties. However, this story deserves to have this ignored.
It does ask the young reader to help the little penguin get rid of the hiccups. This can get a bit noisy and makes this a great book to read to a group.
The illustrations are lots of fun as the penguin gets lots of advice about how to get rid of the hiccups.
