Horrible Bear!
Written Amy Dyckman;
illustrated by Zachariah O'Hora
The girl with "80s hair" (TM Ms. Pera's class) is so mad ... she thinks a horrible bear broke her kite on purpose. Meanwhile, he becomes indignant at the ruckus she caused, and hatches a horrible plan to get her back. Lots of stomping and yelling make for a super fun readaloud.
They All Saw a Cat
Written and illustrated by Brendan Wenzel
This book wouldn't make any sense without the pictures, which portray the different ways animals see a cat, depending on their attitude and perspective. Spoiler alert: It won a genuine Caldecott Honor last month.
The publisher has an activity kit posted online; the cat masks were a hit.
When Spring Comes
Written by Kevin Henkes;
illustrated by Laura Droznek
The timing worked out well, with me reading this the day before Groundhog Day. More of a poem than a true story, it made us look forward to spring ... and summer after that!
