Books for fun!

And now, just for fun ...
The Way Back Home by Oliver Jeffers

A boy finds an airplane in his closet. He does not remember leaving it there, but decides to go flying anyway. He flew higher and higher until he landed on the moon.

A Martian crashes with a bump on the moon. Now neither is alone and they both realized that the other was in trouble, too. The two work together to solve their problems.

The text is brief, the illustrations simple, and the story is delightful.

Not a Stick by Antoinette Portis

This sparsley illustrated, simple text story gives the reader all kinds of ideas on what can be done with a stick. Very, very short read.



Make sure you also get Not a Box and have some big boxes on hand for imaginative play that will follow.
