EVER WONDER WHY RABBITS HAVE SHORT, FLUFFY TAILS?


Rabbit wants leaves and flower buds to munch on during the summertime, but he can't reach them.  Couldn't they just fall down? Or, better, yet, is there some other way Rabbit could get closer to the the branches of the tree?  His growing frustration to wait for these tasty treats to fall leads him to think of a clever plan that will get him high into the trees: a song and dance that will cause snow to fall down, even during the summer time!  After delivering an entertaining amount of song and dance, rabbit is in need of much needed rest.  When he awakens, he is involved in an accident and finds that his tail now matches the length of his patience. 

JAMES and JOSEPH BRUCHAC Iroquois tale, RABBIT'S SNOW DANCE will amuse readers and may find themselves humming Rabbit's tune throughout the day.  For Kinder thru 4th grade.

HER NAME IS WHAT?

Do you ever find yourself wishing you had a different name and that your parents had given you a shorter, funnier or cooler name?  Most probably you have and you even have thought about changing your name as soon as you are an adult.  However, imagine that your name was Cataline Magdalena Hoopensteiner Wallendiner Hogan Logan Bogan and you had to live with that name for the rest of your life...Now, your own name doesn't sound as strange or long does it?

CATALINA MAGDALENA HOOPENSTEINER WALLENDINER HOGAN LOGAN BOGAN WAS HER NAME is by TEDD ARNOLD and you are going to just love this book.  Unfortunately, her name is not the only thing that is unusual...

While others use their toes to stand on their feet, she puts them in her nose, while others use their eyes to see straight, she uses them to see left and right...You have to read this story to find out how her name gets even longer than what it already was...

For grades 1st and up.
