SPLAT THE CAT: I SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM

ICE CREAM! ICE CREAM! Who doesn't love ice cream? It was an ideal class field trip for Splat, Plank, Spike, and Seymour. When the class arrived at the ice cream factory they were taken to the back room where Mr. Jellybean lectured about freezers. This isn't what the friends anticipated and splat became so bored that he dozed off and accidentally hit the emergency button. After that the ice cream factory was a scene of destruction. 

Splat the Cat: I Scream for Ice Cream by Laura Driscoll is another hilarious story from the Splat the Cat Series. This book is for beginning readers and is part of the Level One I Can Read Books. This series allows the reader to learn to sound out words and sentences. 

Ages 5-8

THE SKY IS FALLING!

Is the sky really falling?  Ask Chicken Little why she’s in a frenzy as she does the mambo.  Well it all started one day when an acorn fell on Chicken Little’s head… and it went downhill from there.  Chicken Little truly believed that the sky was falling, so of course she didn't listen to Squirrel's explanation and created chaos on the farm. 


Chaos meaning all the chickens began to dance; they did the moonwalk, the twist and the waltz.  Soon enough all the other farm animals joined in the dance even though they knew better; the animals even did the hokey-pokey.  It wasn’t long before the clever Fox showed up to stir some trouble. He believed that he could actually fool the animals to come to his den.  Read to find out if the Fox accepts the chickens challenge.

The Sky is Falling by Mark Teague is a hilarious read-a-loud picture book. This is a great twist for a classic tale, teaching the importance of listening skills, especially when creating unnecessary confusion. The illustrations are colorful and cartoon-like.  

Ages 3-5
