Lilly seethes with anger and writes a mean story about Mr. Slinger. She places it in his book bag at the end of the day. This is a cute story of forgiveness. A very simple pattern book, with clear pictures and words to portray a snowy day. Laura Dronzeck illustrates a snowy day when all the creatures can go out and enjoy.
Illustrations are beautiful.
It is a good book to use to focus on action words. Once Around the Block Annie is bored waiting for her Papa to come home. She takes a walk around the block to pass the time. On her trip she meets neighbors who give her small gifts to help lift her spirits. Henkes uses repetitive language throughout.
