Books We Read<\/h1>\n

\"\"\u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

I Love Cake<\/strong><\/em> by Tammi Sauer with illustrations by Angie Rozelaar is a funny story about three friends – Rabbit, Porcupine and Moose.\u00a0 It’s Rabbit’s birthday and he has a party and invites Porcupine and Moose!\u00a0 Everyone’s excited and having fun until the cake and Moose go missing at the same time!\u00a0 Sounds suspicious doesn’t it?\u00a0 This book was a definite crowd pleaser as we eventually discover that Moose may have eaten one too many bites of that delicious birthday cake.<\/p>\n

Little Mouse and the Big Cupcake<\/strong><\/em> written by Thomas Taylor and illustrated by Jill Barton presents a different dilemma.\u00a0 Mouse is little and the cupcake he finds is BIG!\u00a0 It is so BIG that he cannot figure out how to carry it home!\u00a0 Lots of his animal friends swing by and ask to take a bite out of his cupcake but it isn’t until there is only one morsel left that Little Mouse figures things out.\u00a0 A great crossover book that works well with toddlers and older preschoolers.<\/p>\n

Baby Bear’s Feast <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Little Bear and his Mama woke up from their long winter\u2019s nap (stretch and yawn).<\/p>\n

Little Bear was so hungry his tummy went grumble grumble<\/em>.\u00a0 Mama Bear was hungry too, so they stepped outside their cave and looked around.\u00a0 In the clearing was the tree stump where they always ate their feast.\u00a0 Little Bear hopped up and sniffed around- sniff sniff sniff<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cMama, where\u2019s the food?\u201d he asked.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m hungry!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to go get it, silly,\u201d Mama Bear said.\u00a0 \u201cWhy don\u2019t you go get the blueberries?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay!\u201d Baby bear jumped down from the stump and ran to the woods (pat knees quickly to imitate running).\u00a0 He looked high (pretend to look high) and he looked low (pretend to look low). \u00a0He looked all around until he thought he saw some blueberries, then he went back.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook Mama, blueberries!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Baby Bear,\u201d Mama said, laughing.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s not a blueberry.\u00a0 That\u2019s a \u2013 (pause to let children respond) fish!\u00a0 This time go past the stream.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Baby Bear went running back to the woods again (pat knees).\u00a0 He looked high (pretend to look high) and he looked low (pretend to look low). He looked all around until he thought he saw some blueberries, then he went back.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook Mama, blueberries!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Baby Bear,\u201d Mama said, laughing.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s not a blueberry.\u00a0 That\u2019s an \u2013 (pause to let children respond) orange!\u00a0 This time go past the stream and the orange tree.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Baby Bear went running back to the woods again (pat knees).\u00a0 He looked high (pretend to look high) and he looked low (pretend to look low). He looked all around until he thought he saw some blueberries, then he went back.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook Mama, blueberries!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Baby Bear,\u201d Mama said, laughing.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s not a blueberry.\u00a0 That\u2019s a \u2013 (pause to let children respond) pear!\u00a0 This time go past the stream, the stream, the orange tree and the pear tree.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Baby Bear went running back to the woods again (pat knees).\u00a0 He looked high (pretend to look high) and he looked low (pretend to look low). He looked all around until he thought he saw some blueberries, then he went back.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook Mama, blueberries!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo Baby Bear,\u201d Mama said, laughing.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s not a blueberry.\u00a0 That\u2019s a \u2013 (pause to let children respond) strawberry!\u00a0 This time go past the stream, past the orange tree and apple tree, and past the strawberry bushes.\u201d<\/p>\n

So Baby Bear went running back to the woods again (pat knees).\u00a0 He looked high (pretend to look high) and he looked low (pretend to look low). He looked all around until he thought he saw some blueberries, then he went back.<\/p>\n

This time he was gone such a long time Mama Bear started to get worried.\u00a0 But then Baby Bear came back and he said, \u201cLook, Mama, blueberries!\u00a0 And I found Daddy too!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes Little Bear, those are blueberries,\u201d Mama Bear said.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re just in time for dinner.\u00a0 But it looks like Daddy already ate his!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
