Provides a nice example of a bedtime routine that goes array when the fifth little duckling decides not to go to bed, causing the rest of the ducklings to abandon their bedtime preparations and have a pillow fight. This book provides an example of a mom getting angry and frustrated at her chickies, yelling at them to get in bed, which causes them to get sad. Mama Duck reassures them that "sometimes you don't listen, and I get mad" but she still loves them no matter what they do.

So many dog snoots to boop! Fluffy, sitting, bearded, standing--listeners are invited to gently tap the noses throughout the book, ending with a self-boop. A lovely lapsit book but may get too chaotic as an interactive storytime readaloud.

TW: Religious misunderstanding (nosiness, mean stares, laughing at difference)

Identity: Pride in body size
Wow. This book is an incredible convergence of illustration, storytelling, and medium that tells the tale of a 2nd grade girl who experiences bullying and ridicule for her larger-than-average body. Each turn of the page, the unnamed girl is drawn larger and larger as mean words from peers stick to her skin and embarrassing situations are met with annoyance and adultification by adults. After a long cry, the girl finds strength within herself to return the mean words and keep the good. While the story ends positively for the girl, there is still defensiveness and defiance from the bullies and adults which is such a real reaction in our world and worthy of portrayal and discussion.
A must read for all early elementary children.

This little boy has had quite the morning trying to get to school. Kids will love the outrageous humor, the tie-in of fairytales, and the gradual suspense leading up to the main reason why the boy is late.

Mesmerizing watercolors depict a girl in a red coat plucking colorful flowers as she walks home in a black and white city with her father. Without words, the story shines through, offering children and adults a wonderful opportunity to practice storytelling.

The ending has an admirable comeback for the main character as she stands up to her overbearing big brother, providing a valuable sibling dynamic to kid's literature.
