BOOKS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"george\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Poor George the dog wants to be good and make his owner Harry proud, but he just can’t resist getting into mischief while Harry is away!\u00a0 The story opens with George trying to fight the urge to eat the cake that Harry has left on the kitchen counter but….well you can probably guess what happens.\u00a0 (He eats the whole thing!)\u00a0 His antics don’t stop there – there’s still a cat to chase,<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 
\n\"red<\/a><\/p>\n

A modern re-telling of the classic tale, The Little Red Hen.\u00a0 In Rebecca and Ed Emberly’s version, the hen bakes a cake instead of bread and (as in the original) she\u00a0 asks\u00a0her friends the cat, the rat and the frog to help her.\u00a0 None of them are willing to lift a finger until she asks:\u00a0 “And who will help me eat this cake?”\u00a0 To which they all answer, “I WILL!”\u00a0 By that time the hen was wise to their laziness and decides to eat the cake all by herself.\u00a0 The illustrations are wild and crazy and the story’s repetitive nature make it a good fit for the preschool crowd.<\/p>\n
