Don’t Be Silly, Mrs. Millie – Judy Cox
Mrs. Millie likes to tease her class by playing with words. She tells them to hang up their goats, take out their paper and penguins, wash their hands with soap and walrus, eat gorilla cheese sandwiches for lunch, sit on the bug for story time and put on their bats and kittens before they go outside. The kids think she is hilarious and they have fun correcting her.
Bark, George – Jules Feiffer
George's mom tells him to bark, but he meows, then she asks him again "Bark, George." and he quacks, then oinks, and moos. When George's mother gets frustrated she takes him to the vet who reaches inside of George and pulls out a cat, a duck, a pig and finally a cow. Finally George can bark. On the way home George's mom says to him again, "Bark, George", but to her surprise he says "Hello."
Just So Stories – Rudyard Kipling
A book of silly stories with lovely rhyming and word play to answer children’s questions about natural phenomena like how the camel got his humps, why whales only eat tiny, tiny fish and how the elephant got his trunk. Based on oral traditions of India and Africa.
Loaves of Fun – Elizabeth and John Harbison
A social history of bread for children. Full of interesting stories of people and bread as well as many activities and recipes.
Tuesday – David Wiesner
A book of very few words. “The events recorded here are verified by an undisclosed source to have happened somewhere, U.S.A. on Tuesday…” It leaves much to the imagination. The images are of a strange night when frogs lifted off on their lily pads and flew through the sky to a nearby town “somewhere” around 8:00 on Tuesday. Great for early storytellers.
Everybody Bakes Bread – Norah Dooley
Carrie is sent out into her (very multicultural) neighbor hood on a “fools errand” to find a three handled rolling pin. On her quest she talks with her neighbors and eats bread from all different cultures. Discovering that everybody eats bread. A great multicultural story.
