Bear goes fishing without letting Duck know and when Duck finds Bear's house is empty he sets off to find Bear with map in hand. Meanwhile, Bear finds that fishing and being rained on is not much fun. Eventually Duck and Bear find each other and spend the night camping under the stars until they decide they've had enough camping and head back home together, where they will be together forever.
Forever?
Yes. Forever.
Come Home Already by Dory John and Benji Davies (together forever!) is a fun read- aloud for preschoolers through 2nd grade.
I think Gus Gordon just wanted to draw birds, lots of birds. The end pages have illustrations of old suitcase advertisements so you get the sense that this is an unusual take on birds going south for the winter.
It's winter and fowls of all sorts are going every which way, on all manners of transportation. Some are even using travel agents to help them get to their destinations.
The only fowl not going anywhere is George. He's too busy baking brownies, carrot cakes, and other pastries. He tells Pascal, the bear, that there's also ironing to do and yoga to practice so that's a no to Paris. The Andes - Nah. But Pascal really wants a warm place to stay, like the Carribean.
After all the excuses, because that's what they are, excuses, George finally admits the truth. Together Pascal and George form a plan to fly...somewhere else.
I love this story. It's unexpected. It's poignant.
For pre-K and older readers of all ages.
The pond is a beautiful place as the young boy and his dog in this story come to find out. Be still and you can observe the sounds and chatter of many different animals surrounding the pond. There's a commotion that connects all of the animals together. Though in the end all is forgotten, and peace and tranquility come back to the pond as the day ends.
On Duck Pond written by Jane Yolen, with art by Bob Marshall, beautifully illustrates the habitat of animals that live around the duck pond. Descriptive words are used to spark your imagination as you flip through the pages. What animals do you see at the duck pond? How does the
duck pond make you feel?
