In Arlo Needs Glasses<\/strong> <\/em>by Barney Saltzberg we meet a dog who used to love to play catch until he can no longer see the ball.\u00a0 Hmmmm…time to see the eye doctor about some glasses.\u00a0 A great pop up book about going to the optometrist, a boy and his dog AND\u00a0the magic of glasses.<\/p>\n

I Don’t Want to Be a Frog<\/strong><\/em><\/a> by Dev Petty and illustrated by Mike Boldt introduces us to a frog who wants to be anything BUT a frog!\u00a0 He’d rather be a cat, a pig or a rabbit and not a frog who is wet, slimy and eats bugs.\u00a0 However, he changes his mind when he meets someone who eats everything BUT frogs!\u00a0 A great book about accepting yourself.<\/p>\n

Clothesline Clues to Jobs People Do<\/em> <\/strong><\/a>is exactly as it sounds.\u00a0 Kathryn Heling and Deborah Hembrook’s book about jobs is littered with “clues” in the form of “clothes”.\u00a0 Children must try and\u00a0guess the jobs that match\u00a0each uniform\/outfit.\u00a0\u00a0Illustrator, Robert Davies creates simple, clear drawings that make it easy to\u00a0identify the clothes that match specific occupations.<\/p>\n

Guessing Game<\/h4>\n

Who am I?<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

I put on a special hat, used some props and mimed a job ~ everyone had a great time guessing who I was pretending to be!\u00a0 Can you guess the jobs from these photos?<\/p>\n
