The girl ends up back in her bed, but was it a dream after all? Where did that blue mouse in her room come from? This dream experience is also about recognizing yourself in a book. Then she and her cat meet another girl and cat almost exactly like themselves. She sees other children engaged in activities like drawing, reading and jump roping. In what seems to be a dream, a girl follows her cat through a portal into another world. When itвЂ™s not rabbits, itвЂ™s cats! ' Another' (2019) is a wordless story by Christian Robinson. Stead and ' A Tiger Called Thomas'В / ' A Tiger Called TomГЎs' (1963, 2018) illustrated by Marta ГЃlvarez MiguГ©ns. Her texts are periodically accompanied by updated illustrations, recently ' In My Garden' (1960, 2020) newly illustrated by Philip C. Charlotte Zolotow has written over 50 books for children. By evening the girl has a lovely fruit basket to give her mother.

Maurice SendakвЂ™s watercolor illustrations progress over the course of a day. Each time, the girl decides on a different colored fruit, but itвЂ™s really her thinking about the gift thatвЂ™s the main focus. The same objections and conclusions come up as each new color is discussed. The simple language follows a pattern which guides the story. The girl is not able to afford anything very expensive, of course, but she knows that her mother likes color. Rabbit and the girl, they decide what to get the girlвЂ™s mother for a birthday present. Rabbit and the Lovely Present' (1962) is a conversation between a little girl and Mr. There are tons of childrenвЂ™s books featuring rabbits as characters-and I have a weakness for them! The entire text of ' Mr. RABBIT AND THE LOVELY PRESENT' by CHARLOTTE ZOLOTOW If you like this one, be sure to also read ' The Little Guys' (2019) by Vera Brosgol. I enjoy the comic facial expressions on not just the human characters, but animals and aliens as well. The shades and tones of color in the majority of the illustrations contrast starkly with the black and white of that other, quietest place. The story has a predictable pattern that listeners will be able to catch onto, making this book a fun one to read aloud. She packs up and visits three different places where she is also bothered by local inhabitants until finally finding the most peaceful place of all. A grandmother with a large family wants to get her knitting done, but there is always too much commotion around for her to be able to work in peace.

Arnold Lobel is famous for his series of Frog and Toad books. You can practically see the flowersвЂ™ movement as they catch the breeze and when the cat comes crashing into the garden. The diversity of the flowers in the garden is emphasized by descriptions in the text and reinforced by the illustrations, while several active bugs and creatures are added in illustration only. In this case the story builds up from a rose into a tangle of plants, insects, and animals, eventually reaching the dramatic climax of a cat and mouse chase. ' The Rose in My Garden' (1984) takes on the format of the nursery rhyme вЂњ The House That Jack Built.вЂќ Many picture books use this format, and itвЂ™s one that I love when done well because of the rhythm, rhyming text, and the way the story builds up from the bottom. Lionni has many other picture books featuring mice he is also famous for the books ' Swimmy' (1963), ' Inch by Inch' (1960), and ' Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse' (1969). It sends the message that youвЂ™re never doing nothing when you are contemplating nature! The authorвЂ™s cut paper illustrations are friendly and unique. Frederick draws on the natural environment for this sustenance. This story points out that meeting spiritual and emotional needs is just as important as meeting physical needs like food and shelter. He says heвЂ™s gathering colors and вЂњsun rays for the cold dark winter days.вЂќ During winter, after the food is all gone, itвЂ™s FrederickвЂ™s poetry that sustains the mice until spring. While four of the mice busily gather food and hay, the last mouse, Frederick, gazes at the field and dozes in the sun. In ' Frederick' (1967), five mice get ready for the winter.
