MEERKAT LOVE


Sunny thinks the other side would be less sunny and less crowded than where he is now with his many siblings. So off he goes to stay with different relatives in different places but each location lacks a little something or has too much of something. In the end Sunny finds that there's no place like home, in the Kalahari Desert eating yummy scorpions, surrounded by his family. 

Meerkat Mail by Emily Gravett, for ages 4 and up, is a hilarious story told in postcards sent by Sunny.  Created with Gravett's usual stylish and expressive illustrations she will have everyone loving these meerkats!

HELLO FADDUH


Postcards from Camp: A Postal Story by Simms Taback - classic camp story told in postcards and letters about one boy's reluctant first time away at summer camp and his father's attempts to keep everything upbeat with a hang in there attitude, buddy.  As they write back and forth you see the special father son relationship and you hope and wish that the little guy will eventually have a great time at camp.
Reminiscent of the Camp Granada song, it a great book to take your time and read over every inch of it.  

For readers in 4th and up.
